Almost all sound aspects of your FR-7/FR-5 can be changed (“edited”) to your liking. On p. 28 we already showed you
how to quickly edit the most important parameters of a sound. Those changes are temporary and not followed by a
“WRITE” question. If you want to preserve the changes you made using the shortcut functions, you need to use the
WRITE function.

Selecting parameters

Selecting parameters using the Jump function

The FR-7/FR-5’s parameters can be selected like on a
mobile phone (by entering their numbers) or using the
Menu structure. Let us first look at using the mobile
phone approach:
(1) Switch on the FR-7/FR-5.
See “Switching the power on and off” on p. 15. The
display now looks more or less as follows:
(2) In the descriptions below, locate the parameter
you wish to edit and look at its number.
(3) Press and hold the [EXIT÷JUMP] button until the
display looks as follows:
(4) Press a register [1]~[10] to specify the parameter
group.
The menu contains the following function groups:
Parameter groups with an asterisk (*) are not saved
along with the Set parameters. They are global
parameters that can be saved to a special memory.
(5) Press a register [1]~[14] to specify a parameter
within the selected group.
See the table on page 37.

■Easy and Full modes
Be aware that the availability of a parameter may depend on the display mode that is currently selected (page 18). If
you can’t seem to find the parameter you need, switch to “Full” mode.
■Important note
Before changing your settings, be sure to select the Set the changes should apply to using the SET buttons (or the SET
footswitches on the FBC-7). That will help you avoid a lot of confusion at a later stage.
