INSTRUCTIONS PERTAINING TO A RISK OF FIRE, ELECTRIC SHOCK, OR INJURY TO PERSONS. IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS WARNING ­ When using electric products, basic precautions should always be followed, including the following: 1. Do not block any of the ventilation openings. [. . . ] The higher the value you set, the more the Orchestra section will be processed by the effect in question. It works much the same way as a cathedral: the louder you sing, the more reverb (chorus or delay) you hear. In the case of the cathedral, singing louder means that you increase the effect send level, i. e. the level of the signal (your voice) that will be processed by the acoustic environment. The other sections (Bass, Free Bass, etc. ) have the same parameters, so that you can create a sound image with various "levels" (foreground, background). The effects themselves can be edited on separate pages (see p. 65). 6. 7 Aftertouch Pitch (Off, 1/4 Down, 1/2 Down, 1/4 Up, 1/2 Up, Default setting: Off) The FR-7b/FR-5b's Master bar also generates aftertouch messages when pressed gently. This effect allows you to bend the pitch down (temporarily lower the note) by a quarter ("1/4 Down") or a semitone ("1/2 Down"). Select "1/4 Up" or "1/2 Up" to bend the notes up a quarter or a semi-tone. Select "Off" to switch off the Orchestra section's aftertouch recognition. The Treble section also contains this parameter. You are thus free to decide whether both the accordion and the orchestral sounds should be affected by aftertouch messages or only one of them. Note: This aftertouch effect applies to all orchestral notes that are sounding simultaneously. (MIDI buffs call this "channel aftertouch". ) 59 FR-7b/FR-5b V-Accordion Editing sounds | 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. Press [UP] and [DOWN] simultaneously to select the value that is indicated as "Default setting". Important note The selection of Orchestra Chord can be automated using the "2. 14 Orchestra Chord Link" parameter (page 48) ­ for each Treble register.
