Be aware that the system you select here is only used when
you activate the FR-1's Free Bass mode. It is of no conse-
quence for the "regular" Bass mode. See the illustration on
page 4 for the note assignments.
Note: This parameter is not reset when you load the factory defaults
(see the owner's manual).
Note: The FR-1 is supplied with several reference caps designed to
help you locate the bass buttons without looking at them. See also
the owner's manual.
(The following functions have changed.)
Function
Orchestra Chord/Free Bass Level
–40~Std~40
This parameter's behavior has changed as follows:
• In Bass & Chord mode, it sets the level of the ORCHESTRA
CHORD sound for a better balance with the other available
sections (same as in the previous version).
• In Free Bass mode, it sets the level of the ORCHESTRA FREE
BASS sound (new functionality).
The settings you can select with the registers are:
1
–40

Function
Bellows Expression TX
Off, On, Arranger
The strength/speed with which the bellows is pressed or
pulled influences the sound – which corresponds to an
acoustic accordion's response. This effect can be translated
into a MIDI message most external instruments under-
stand.
1
Off
2
On
3•
Arranger
If you want to use the bellows for expressive purposes,
switch this parameter on (register [2]). If you don't (because
the external instrument is too sensitive and therefore
changes its volume too often), switch it off (register [1]).
The default setting (register [3]) has almost the same effect
as "on", except that bellows expression messages are only
transmitted on MIDI channels 1 and 4. This is the recom-
mended setting when you use the FR-1 to control an
arranger module.
