N Bass registers
Note: By pressing and holding any register, you can switch off
the Bass (or Free Bass) section. Press another register to switch
it back on.
These switches allow you to select the desired bass
mix. They include the following footages:
O ORCH BASS registers
Press the last three (“ORCH BASS”) registers (viewed
from the top) simultaneously to enter Orchestra Bass
mode (see p. 28). Doing so switches off the accordion
bass sound and selects an orchestral sound. Press the
last three registers again simultaneously to return to
normal bass mode.
P ORCH FREE BS/ORCH CHORD registers
By pressing these three registers, you activate (or
switch off) one of two orchestral sections: ORCH
CHORD (if the Free Bass section is off) or ORCH FREE
BS (if the Free Bass section is on). “ORCH CHORD”
allows you to select an orchestral sound for the
chord buttons, while “ORCH FREE BS” can be used to
select an orchestral bass sound for the Free Bass sec-
tion. See p. 29 for details.
Q FREE BASS registers
Press the first three (“FREE BASS”) registers (viewed
from the top) simultaneously to enter Free Bass
mode. The FR-7/FR-5 provides several systems for
this mode (see p. 70). Press the first three registers
again simultaneously to return to normal bass mode.
