® 9. Set Common parameters (Advanced)

FR-7x V-Accordion
The SET COMMON group
contains parameters that
apply to all sections, but
only within the framework
of the currently selected
Set, most notably the parameters that specify the
sound/character of the Reverb, Chorus and Delay
effects.
• Never switch off the FR-7x before saving the settings
you wish to keep, because doing so will erase your
changes.
• See page 103 for how to save your changes. Also be
sure to read “Important remark about saving your
settings” on p. 64.
The settings you perform here apply to all sections that
use the general reverb, chorus or delay effect. They do
not apply to the TW reverb, chorus or delay processors,
i.e. the effects available for organ sounds. The TW effects
cannot be edited.
The connection of the sections to the general effects
processors is as follows:
Note: See page 56 for the connection of the organ parts to
the TW effects. Those effects are not related to the processors
discussed here.
9.1 Reverb Macro
This is where you specify what
kind of effect the Reverb pro-
cessor should generate and
how loud it should be.
Note: You can also copy the
Reverb (or even all effects) settings from another Set. See
page 97.
(1) Press the [DATA÷ENTER] knob to select the “TYPE”
parameter, then rotate the [DATA÷ENTER] knob to
select an effect type.
The “TYPE” parameter on this page is a “Macro” func-
tion: it recalls suitable preset values for all Reverb
parameters (Pre-LPF~RevPre DlyTm) on the “Reverb
Parameters” page. The Macro therefore also selects a
“Character”. In many instances, editing only the
parameters on this page is enough.
The available options are:
(2) Press the [DATA÷ENTER] knob to select the “LEVEL”
parameter, then rotate the [DATA÷ENTER] knob to
set the Reverb processor’s output volume (0~127).
The overall reverb volume depends on three things:
the Send level of the various sections, the output
level of the Reverb processor and the setting of the
[REVERB] knob.
If one of them is set to “0”, there will be no reverb. If
the Send level of a section (Orchestra, for example) is
set to “0”, only the selected sound will have no
reverb. If the “LEVEL” parameter on this page is set to
“0”, the Reverb processor is effectively off for all sec-
tions.
9.2 Reverb Parameters
This page contains several
parameters that need to be
selected using the “TYPE”
entry. Always first select the
parameter you want to
change and then set its value.
(1) Press the [DATA÷ENTER] knob to select the “TYPE”
parameter, then rotate the [DATA÷ENTER] knob to
select a parameter.

Macro name Meaning
Room1,
Room2,
Room3 These types simulate the reverberation of
a room. They provide a well-defined spa-
cious reverberation.
Hall1, Hall2 These types simulate the reverberation of
a concert hall with a deeper reverberation
than the Room reverbs.
Plate This effect type simulates a plate reverb (a
studio device using a metal plate to simu-
late natural reverb).
Delay This is a conventional delay that produces
echo effects.
Panning Dly This is a special delay in which the delayed
sounds move left and right. It is effective
when you are listening in stereo.
Parameter Explanation
Character
(0~7) This parameter specifies the reverb type
you need (see the table above). It does not
load preset values for the Pre-LPF~
RevPreDlyTm parameters.
