value.
This is actually a balance parameter with a setting
range of “Off”, –40~“Std”~+40. “Std” means that the
Orchestra part uses its “normal” volume. Negative
values (–) make the Orchestra part softer, while posi-
tive values (+) make it louder.
You can save the new value (and the remaining
changes you make). See page 95.

Orchestral sounds for the Bass section
The orchestral bass part can be used instead of the Bass
section (thus replacing the accordion sound played by
the bass rows of the button keyboard). There are no
clever modes (DUAL, SOLO, etc.) here.
Furthermore, the ORCH BASS part does what its name

closest to the bellows) and has no effect on the chord
buttons.
(1) Simultaneously press the three registers labeled
“ORCH BASS”.
The display now briefly responds with:
(2) Use the Bass registers to select the desired sound.
Note: The dynamics of sounds marked with an asterisk (*) can
only be controlled by bellows movements. Those sounds are
not velocity sensitive. For the other sounds, see also
“10.12 Orch. Bs&Ch Touch” on p. 74.
Note: The numbers shown in the illustration above do not
appear on the registers themselves. They have been added for
your reference.
