6. ORCH. EDIT parameters
The parameters of the ORCH. EDIT group apply to the Treble Orchestra section. See page 25 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 39 and 41 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 orchestral sounds and modes can be
automated using the “2.13 Orchestra Link” parameter
(page 48) – for each Treble register.
Any changes you make can be saved using the WRITE
function. Though there is no need to save your changes
right after performing them, please bear in mind that
they will be lost in the following cases:
• When you select another Set
• When you switch off the FR-7b/FR-5b
Changes you want the FR-7b/FR-5b to remember must
be saved as soon as possible. Here is how:
(1) Press and hold the [MENU÷WRITE] button until the
following page appears:
(2) Rotate the [DATA÷ENTER] knob (or use the [UP]/
[DOWN] buttons) to select “Orchestra”.
(3) Press the [DATA÷ENTER] knob to confirm your
selection.
(4) Use the [DATA÷ENTER] knob or the [UP]/[DOWN]
buttons to specify what you want to save:
(5) Press the [DATA÷ENTER] knob to confirm your
selection.
Depending on what you chose in step (3) above, the
display now looks as follows:
(6) Use the [DATA÷ENTER] knob or the [UP]/[DOWN]
buttons to select the Set that should contain your
changed version(s).
Change this setting only if you do not want to save
your settings to the current Set.
(7) Press the [MENU÷WRITE] button to save your
changes. The display briefly shows a confirmation:
(8) Press the [EXIT÷JUMP] button to return to the Main
page.
Note: See pages 39 and 41 for how to select and adjust the
parameters below.

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 26) and want it to sound
above or below the selected Treble accordion register.

6.2 Orchestra Volume

(Off, –40~“Std”~40, 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”).

bet, because it ensures that no Orchestra

possible to edit several registers without
saving them.)
