Setting up | Using the orchestral sounds

FR-3s/FR-3/FR-3sb/FR-3b V-Accordion

■Setting the volume of the ORCH BASS sound

There may be times when the orchestral bass sound is

too loud or too soft with respect to the other avail-

able sections. In that case, you can change its vol-

ume:

(1) Press and hold the [SET] register until the display

shows a parameter name, then release it.

(2) Use register [3÷√] or [4÷®] to select the following

parameter:

By doing so, you enter a mode called “PARAM LIST”

where you can set the available parameters (see also

p. 37). “ObL” is short for “Orchestra Bass Level”, i.e. the

volume setting of the orchestral bass section.

(3) Use register [1÷–] or [2÷+] to set the desired value.

This is actually a balance parameter with a setting

range of –40~“Std”~+40. “Std” means that the ORCH

BASS part uses its “normal” volume. Negative values

(–) make the ORCH BASS part softer, while positive

values (+) make it louder.

Note: Press registers [1] and [2] simultaneously to return to the

factory setting of the currently selected parameter.

(4) See “Saving your changes” on p. 26 if you want to

keep your changes.

To use them only temporarily, press the [SET] register

to leave “PARAM LIST” mode.

■Switching off the Orchestra Bass part

(5) Press the three ORCH BASS registers again to

return to normal Bass mode.

Orchestral sounds for the Chord section

The orchestral chord part can replace the accordion

sound played by the chord rows of the button key-

board. There are no clever modes (DUAL, SOLO, etc.)

here.

The ORCH CHORD part does what its name implies: it

only applies to the chord rows and has no effect on

the bass buttons.

(1) If the digit in the middle of the display (“CHORD/

FREE BS”) is flashing, select the FR-3’s Bass mode

by pressing the three FREE BASS registers.

The ORCH CHORD part is not available in Free Bass

mode (because there are no chord buttons in that

mode).

(2) Simultaneously press the three registers labeled

“ORCH CHORD”.

The display shows the number of the last orchestral

chord sound you selected. That number (the digit in

the middle) is followed by a fixed dot:

Note that in this situation, the middle digit differs

from the one to its left. The leftmost digit refers to an

accordion register, while the middle one represents

the orchestral chord sound used by the chord rows of

the button keyboard.

Note: The numbers shown in the illustration above do not

appear on the registers themselves. They have been added for

your reference.

(3) Use the Bass registers to select the desired sound.

Note: While ORCH CHORD mode is active, you cannot assign a

different accordion register to the bass rows. You need to leave

ORCH CHORD mode, select the desired accordion register, then

return to ORCH CHORD mode.

Note: The dynamics of sounds marked with an asterisk (*) can

only be controlled by bellows movements. Those sounds are

not velocity sensitive. For the other sounds, see also “Orch.

Bass/Free Bass/Chord Touch” on p. 41.
