About the Main page
You may have realized by now that, with the exception of the display as well as the additional buttons and knobs, the
FR-7/FR-5 looks like a conventional accordion. The display contains important clues about the settings that are currently
in effect.
What’s shown in the display depends on the function
you select. When you switch on the FR-7/FR-5 or if you
press the [EXIT÷JUMP] button several times, the Main
page appears. In some cases, the Main page may also
reappear automatically after changing a parameter.
That page must be displayed whenever you wish to play
the FR-7/FR-5 without changing any of its “internal”
settings.
A typical Main page display looks like this:
The exact contents depend on the Set that is currently
selected and on how the various sections and perfor-
mance functions are set. The A~H fields, however, are
always there:
ASelected Orchestra register (here “12”).
BOrchestra mode.
CPower source (here the battery).
If you are working with a battery, this field also
indicates the remaining battery power.
DNumber of the currently selected Set.
ESelected Treble register (here “10”).
FBass, Free Bass or Orchestra Bass register (here “4”).
Only one of the two available Bass sections (Free
Bass or Bass) can be active at any one time.
GPart Select indicator. It tells you whether the Treble
keyboard plays the accordion or orchestral sound.
Note: The information shown in the display may change when
you rotate a knob or press a button. In such cases, however,
the Main page reappears after a few seconds.
