6.Editing FUNCTION settings

The FR-2/FR-2b provides a series of specialized parameters that may come in handy when you need to fine-tune the FR-2/FR-2b’s response to your playing style. Some of these settings can be saved to the FR-2/FR-2b’s User Programs (see p. 22).

Selecting the desired function

(1)Press and hold the [SET] E register until it starts flash- ing.

The Treble keyboard can now be used to select the desired function. If you own an FR-2b, please refer to the follow- ing illustration for the Treble buttons you need to press (depending on the selected Treble mode, the buttons may be assigned to different notes). For the sake of conve- nience, the note names of the keyboard version are also shown.

(2) Press the indicated key or Treble button.

(Key names with a “#” symbol refer to black keys.)

	The [SET] register now flashes rapidly,
r	and the Treble keyboard can once
	again be used to play notes.
	(3) Use registers [1]~[8] F to select one
	of the suggested values.
	There may be fewer than 8 registers
	for the parameter you select.
	Alternatively, use the [DEC] or [INC] button to select the
	desired turning. Sometimes, there are more options than
	can be selected with the 8 registers.

You can also press and hold these buttons to quickly select a significantly higher or lower value. Each time you select a setting that is also assigned to a register, the register in question lights.

Note: Press the [PAD/DEFAULT] G button or the register flagged with a “•” in the discussion below to return to the factory setting of the currently selected parameter.

(4)Press the [SET] register twice to leave the FR-2/FR-2b’s FUNCTION mode.

If you want to set another FUNCTION parameter, press [SET] once (it flashes slowly), followed by the desired key, then proceed with step (3) above.

→ In the following, the messages at the right edge of the gray bars have the following meaning:

“OK”: Can be saved in the Global area (common to all Sets).

“POW”: Reset when you switch off the FR-2/FR-2b.
