7. ORC CHD EDIT parameters
The parameters of the ORC CHORD EDIT group apply to the chord button rows of the Bass section. As
stated earlier, the FR-7b/FR-5b allows you to play and accordion sound with the bass rows and an
orchestral sound with the chord rows of the bass keyboard (and vice versa). See page 29 for details
about the Orchestra Chord section. (You can also combine the Orchestra Chord section with the
Orchestra Bass section if you like.) See pages 39 and 41 for how to select and adjust the parameters.

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:

7.1 Orc Chord Volume

(Off, –40~“Std”~40, Default set-
ting: Std) This parameter allows
you to create the desired “mix”
(volume balance) between the
Orchestra Chord section and the
other active sections.
This is a relative parameter, which means that its value
is added to or subtracted from the standard value
(“Std”).
