Editing sounds 4. FREE BASS EDIT parameters

•If necessary, press the [DATA÷ENTER] knob to select the “TYPE” parameter, then rotate the [DATA÷ENTER] knob to select one of the available instrument types: Bandoneon, I-Folk, I-Folk2, Classic, Cajun, Jazz, F-Folk, D-Folk, Organetto, F-Folk2, Classic2, Studio, Tradition, Steierische, Trikitixa

•Press the [DATA÷ENTER] knob to select the “LEVEL” parameter, then rotate the [DATA÷ENTER] knob to set the volume of the Reed Growl parameter (Off, –40~

“Std”~40).

Note: Whenever you select “ALL” for “Reed Type” and set a dif- ferent reed type, this growl setting is automatically adapted to the reed type. It would therefore be a good idea to first select the reed type and only then change the growl type.

4.6 Bellows Detune

(Off, Low, Standard, High, Default setting: Standard) This parameter further adds to the realism of the sounds emulated by your FR-7/FR-5. Here, you

can specify how strongly the pitch of the simulated Free Bass reed(s) changes when you open or close the bellows faster than usual.

If the “Standard” setting seems too mild, try “High”. If it is too strong, use “Low”. If you do not want any detun- ing effect, select “Off”. The most convincing setting usually depends on the selected instrument(s) (see “Reed Type”).

4.7Reverb Send, 4.8 Chorus Send,

4.9Delay Send

(0~127 for all three) Use these parameters to set the Reverb, Chorus or Delay send level (how much effect should be applied to the Free Bass section). The higher the value you set, the more the Free Bass section will be processed by the effect in question.

The other sections (Treble, Bass, etc.) have the same parameters, so that you can create a sound image with various “levels” (foreground, background).

The effects themselves can be edited on separate pages (see p. 64).

4.10 Free Bass MIDI TX

This page contains a series of MIDI parameters for the selected register you need to set one by one.

See page 86 for details about

the MIDI parameters. These parameters are saved along with all other Set parameters, which allows you to use different MIDI settings for each Set – and even each register within a Set.
