■Setting the volume of the ORCH CHORD sound
There may be times when the orchestral chord sound
is too loud or too soft with respect to the other avail-
able sections. In that case, you can change its vol-
ume:
(3) Press the [DOWN] button three times.
The display now responds with:
(4) Use the [DATA÷ENTER] knob to set the desired
value.
This is actually a balance parameter with a setting
range of “Off”, –40~“Std”~+40. “Std” means that the
Orchestra Chord part uses its “normal” volume. Nega-
tive values (–) make the Orchestra Chord part softer,
while positive values (+) make it louder.
You can save the new value (and the remaining
changes you make). See page 95.
(5) Return to the Main page by pressing [EXIT÷JUMP].
■Switching off the ORCH CHORD part
(6) Press the three ORCH CHORD registers again to
return to the normal (accordion) chord mode.
Orchestral sounds for the Free Bass section

“FREE BASS” to switch to the accordion mode of
the same name.
This is not necessary if you are already in Free Bass
mode.

“ORCH FREE BS”.

(3) 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.
Note: The numbers shown in the illustration above do not
appear on the registers themselves. They have been added for
your reference.
