Before we show you how to operate the FR- 7/5 or FR-7b/5b, we briefly wish to
explain the configuration of the V-Accordion. The FR-7/5 or FR-7b/5b is a “Virtual”
accordion, which reproduces the sounds of various accordions. Therefore the FR-7/5
or FR-7b/5b has no real reeds but virtual reeds. Moreover, the FR-7/5 or FR-7b/5b
has additional orchestral sounds, which you can play individually or in combination
with the accordion sounds.
Register: here you select the treble and bass section of the individual sounds
(accordion & orchestra) that you would like to play with. When you go into the edit
menu, you will “construct” your own “virtual” accordion (reed type, foot-switch,
musette tuning, cassotto on/out etc.) per each register. All register settings must
be saved, if you want to keep them. Otherwise they will get lost when selecting
another SET or switch off the V-Accordion. Treble and bass registers can be linked
with one another (“Link”).
Set: the individual sections (treble, bass etc.) are put together in one set so that
you will immediately have all your settings at hand. The communal SET COMMON
is for all sections of a set. The FR- 7/5 or FR-7b/5b offers 40 nominated set
savings, for which you can basically “construct” a virtual accordion per set, or save
all different accordions in one set, that you may need for a certain piece.
System: the system parameters incorporate all sets and sections of the FR- 7/5 or
FR-7b/5b (e.g. LCD-contrast, bellows sensitivity, bass modes). This also counts for
the parameters comprised under TUNING (e.g. complete tuning, scaling).
Utility: this group contains the informative parameters (e.g. battery status), copy
parameters function and parameters for archiving your settings via MIDI.
MIDI: the MIDI menu comprises the global parameters. The MIDI parameters of
the individual sections can be found in the respective edit menus. The MIDI
application for FR- 7/5 or FR-7b/5b can only be done with the FBC-7 foot switch.
