ORCH. EDIT parameters
The parameters of the ORCH. EDIT group apply to the Treble Orchestra section. See page 24 for details
about the Orchestra section. You may remember that it contains 22 sounds (because some registers
provide access to an “A” and a “B” sound). See pages 35 and 37 for how to select and adjust the
parameters.
Press [UP] and [DOWN] simultaneously to select the value that is indicated as “Default setting”.
The selection of Orchestra sounds and modes can be
automated using the “2.13 Orchestra Link” parameter
(page 43) – for each Treble register.
Any changes you make can be saved even without
using the WRITE function (see p. 77). To avoid losing
your changes, it would be a good idea to take advan-
tage of the following automatic routine.
Whenever you press [EXIT÷JUMP] after editing a Menu
parameter, the FR-7/FR-5 asks you whether you want
to save your changes:
“YES” is selected by default. If you want to save your
changes, proceed as described below. (If you don’t, turn
the [DATA÷ENTER] knob to select “NO”, then press the
[DATA÷ENTER] knob.)
Note: You can save your changes later using the WRITE function
(see p. 77). But be sure to do so before selecting another Set –
and before switching the FR-7/FR-5 off.
To save your changes:
(1) Press the [DATA÷ENTER] knob. The display now
responds with:
(2) If necessary, select another Set than the one you
are currently using.
(3) Press the [MENU÷WRITE] button to save your
changes. The display now briefly confirms that
your settings have been stored:
Note: Do not switch off the FR-7/FR-5 or select another Set
before saving settings you want to keep: save them first.

6.1 Orchestra Octave

(–1~0~1, Default setting: 0) This
parameter allows you to trans-
pose the Orchestra section (i.e.
the currently selected orchestral
sound) up or down.
This can be interesting when you are using the Orches-
tra part in Dual mode (page 25) and want it to sound
above or below the selected Treble accordion register.

6.2 Orchestra Volume

(Off, –30~“Std”~30, Default set-
ting: Std) This parameter allows
you to create the desired “mix”
(volume balance) between the
Treble accordion and the
Orchestra section.
This is a relative parameter, which means that its value
is added to or subtracted from the standard value
(“Std”).

6.3 Bellows Detune

(Off, Low, Standard, High,
Default setting: Standard) This
parameter allows you to specify
how strongly the Orchestra
sound’s pitch should be influ-
enced by opening and closing the bellows faster than
usual. This may further add to the realism of sounds like
1A~4B, 6A, 6B and 10~12.
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 sound.
