FR-7/FR-5 V-Accordion
The FR-7/FR-5 now asks you whether you want to
save your changes:
“YES” is selected by default. If you want to save your
changes, proceed as described below. (If you don’t,
turn the [DATA÷ENTER] knob to select “NO”, then
press the [DATA÷ENTER] knob.)
Note: By performing the following steps, you also save other
settings you may have changed without saving them. This
MIDI parameter indeed belongs to the “Global” group.
(8) Press the [DATA÷ENTER] knob. The display now
responds with:
(9) Press the [WRITE] button to save your changes. The
display briefly shows a confirmation:
Note: If you selected “NO”, the edited Global settings will be
used until you switch off the FR-7/FR-5 (or change them
again).
Preventing sections from sending MIDI data
(10.2 Ext. Seq. Playback)
There may be situations where you use a MIDI sequence
as accompaniment for your accordion solo. If such a
sequence already contains the bass part (for example),
you may not want to play it again, yet not doing any-
thing with your left hand may feel a little strange. By
selecting “On” for a section, you switch off its connec-
tion with the internal tone generator and to the
FBC-7’s MIDI OUT port. The section therefore no longer
transmits data (which would allow you to pretend you
are playing while you’re not). But it now receives MIDI
data from a sequencer or other instrument you connect
to the FBC-7’s MIDI IN port.
(1) Press and hold the [EXIT÷JUMP] button until the
display looks as follows:
(2) Press register [10] to specify the function group.
The “Ext. Seq. Playback” parameters can be set via a
parameter of the “10. MIDI” group, which is why you
need to select that group.
(3) Press register [2] to select the following page:
(4) Press the [DATA÷ENTER] knob to select “PART” (left
entry), then turn it to select the part whose setting
you want to change.
The parts you can select here are: “Treble”, “Orches-
tra” (Treble keyboard) and “Bass-Chord”.
(5) Press the [DATA÷ENTER] knob to select “VALUE”
(right entry), then turn it to select “On” (disconnect
the part from the internal tone generator and MIDI
OUT socket) or “Off” (normal operation).
A part you disconnect from its keyboard and the MIDI
OUT socket is flagged as “EXT. MIDI” on the Main
page:
(In this example, all sections are disconnected from
the FR-7/FR-5’s tone generator, which is probably a
highly unlikely configuration.)
(6) Press [EXIT÷JUMP] to return to the Main page.
The FR-7/FR-5 now asks you whether you want to
save your changes:
“YES” is selected by default. If you want to save your
changes, proceed as described below. (If you don’t,
turn the [DATA÷ENTER] knob to select “NO”, then
press the [DATA÷ENTER] knob.)
