FR-7/FR-5 V-Accordion
Almost all sound aspects of your FR-7/FR-5 can be changed (“edited”) to your liking. On p. 31 we already showed you
how to quickly edit the most important aspects of a sound. All changes you make are temporary. If you want to preserve
them, you need to use the WRITE function.
Selecting parameters
Selecting parameters using the Jump function
The FR-7/FR-5’s parameters can be selected like on a
mobile phone (by entering their numbers) or using the
Menu structure. Let us first look at using the mobile
phone approach:
(1) Switch on the FR-7/FR-5.
See “Switching the power on and off” on p. 16. The
display now looks more or less as follows:
(2) In the descriptions below, locate the parameter
you wish to edit and look at its number.
(3) Press and hold the [EXIT÷JUMP] button until the
display looks as follows:
(4) Press a register [1]~[12] to specify the parameter
group.
The menu contains the following function groups:
Parameter groups with an asterisk (*) are not saved
along with the Set parameters. They are global
parameters that can be saved to a special memory.

■Easy and Full modes
Be aware that the availability of a parameter may depend on the display mode that is currently selected (page 19). If
you can’t seem to find the parameter you need, switch to “Full” mode.
■Important note
Before changing your settings, be sure to select the Set the changes should apply to using the SET buttons (or the SET
footswitches on the FBC-7). That will help you avoid a lot of confusion at a later stage.
