are currently editing. That way, you only need to press
one register instead of at least two (one Treble, one
Bass). There is yet another parameter that allows you to
associate a Treble Orchestra sound with the currently
selected accordion register (see below).
The options for these parameters are:
• BASS: No Link, Bass 1~7, Free 1~7
• ORC.BASS: No Link, Acoustic, Bowed, Fingered, Fret-
less, Picked, Tuba, Tuba Mix
If you define a “Free” register, the Bass section auto-
matically switches to Free Bass mode when you press
the Treble register while the Bass Link function is
active. (If you define a “Bass” register, the Bass sec-
tion switches from Free Bass to Bass mode, if neces-
sary.)
If you also define an ORC.BASS sound (other than
“No Link”), the Bass section automatically activates
the Orchestra Bass part when you press the Treble
register while the Bass Link function is active.
Select “No Link” if there should be no connection
between the currently selected Treble register and
the Bass or Orchestra Bass section.
Note that this automatic link is not activated when
you define it on this page – it is merely enabled and
“pre-set”. To activate the Bass Link function, press
and hold down the [ORCHESTRA] register and press
[9]:
Note: Be aware that the Link function can be dangerous if you
edited the currently selected Bass, Free Bass or Orchestra Bass
register without saving it. Selecting another register automati-
cally (via the Link function) indeed means that the changes for
the previously selected register are lost. Consider using the
WRITE function (page 77) before activating the link – even if
it’s only to check whether the settings have indeed been saved.
Note: Simply activating the link does nothing at all (i.e. the
Bass/Free Bass/Orchestra Bass register does not change right
away). You need to select another Treble register whose Bass
Link function is on for the link to work.
Repeat this procedure to defeat the Bass Link func-
tion if you no longer need it.
On the Main page, links are indicated as follows:
Note: You can specify that this function should be activated
automatically each time you switch the FR-7/FR-5 on. See “8.9
Startup” on p. 63.
2.13 Orchestra Link
This function allows you to
associate an orchestral sound
with the Treble register you are
currently editing and to specify
which mode should be used. See
also “Selecting the Orchestra mode” on p. 25 for an
explanation of the available modes.
The options for these parameters are:
• REGISTER: No Link, 1A Trombone, 1B Trumpet,
2A TenorSax, 2B AltoSax, 3A Clarinet, 3B Oboe,
4A Harmonica, 4B MuteHarm, 5A Violin, 5B Pizzicato,
6A Flute, 6B PanFlute, 7A HighLand, 7B Zampogna,
8A PercOrgan, 8B JazzOrgan, 9A RotOrgan,
9B TremOrg, 10 ScatVoice, 11 Mandolin, 12 AcGuitar,
13 AcPiano
• MODE: ----, Solo, Dual, High, Low
Select “No Link” if there should be no connection
between the currently selected Treble register and
the Orchestra Treble section.
“––” means that the currently selected mode does
not change. So if LOW mode is selected when you
press this register, the Orchestra sound you select
here can be played in LOW mode.
Note that this automatic link is not activated when
you define it on this page – it is merely enabled and
“pre-set”. To activate the Orchestra Link function, you
need to press and hold down the [ORCHESTRA] regis-
ter and press [10]:
Note: Be aware that the Link function can be dangerous if you
edited the currently selected Orchestra sound without saving
it. Selecting another Orchestra sound automatically (via the
Link function) indeed means that the changes for the previ-
ously selected sound are lost. Consider using the WRITE func-
tion (page 77) before activating the link – even if it’s only to
check whether the settings have indeed been saved.
Note: Simply activating the link does nothing at all (i.e. the
Orchestra sound does not change right away). You need to
select another Treble register whose Orchestra Link function is
on for the link to work.
Repeat this procedure to defeat the Orchestra Link
function if you no longer need it (or assign “CANCEL”
to another Treble register and press it).
