Touring the FR-1’s sections
Treble section
The Treble section can
be played using the 26-
key “piano” keyboard or
the 62 treble buttons.
The sound it produces is
determined by the reg-
ister (
[1]~[4]) you
pressed last. This sec-
tion can be used as
“accordion” or to play
an orchestral or organ sound.
(1) Connect the FR-1 to an amplifier and
switch it on.
See p. 11.
(2) Grab the FR-1, press a Treble register
and start playing on the keyboard.
Though the FR-1 is an electronic musical
instrument, it only produces sound when
you move the bellows.
(3) Press the
[SET] register E (it flashes
blue).
(4) Check whether the
[ORCHESTRA÷ORGAN] button is dark.
If it isn’t, press it once or twice.
(5) Press one of the registers
[1]~[4] F to
select a Set memory. Additional Set
memories can be selected by pressing
registers
[1]+[2], [2]+[3] or [3]+[4] simulta-
neously.
The
[SET] button goes dark.
Note: If you don’t press any register while the
[SET] register flashes in blue, it will go dark
again after a while. If you pressed the
[SET]
register by accident, press it again so that it
goes dark.
Note: See also the note about Set “3+4” on
page 8.
(6) Play a few notes to audition the sound.
(7) Press one of the registers
[1]~[4] to
select another registration.
(8) Press the same register again to select
the “b” sound.
Press it yet again to revert to the “a”
sound. Each time you press a different
register, the FR-1 will automatically
select the “a” sound.
(9) If you think the sound is too loud or
too soft, you can change the setting of
the
[VOLUME] knob A.
