r® Piano-type & button-type keyboard models V-Accordion r Addendum ENGLISH Version 2 Kindly take note of the following The following functions have been added or changed as a result of a system software update for both FR-1 models (with a pianotype or button-type treble keyboard). ENGLISH Bass-to-Treble mode The FR-1 also provides a mode in which it can be used like a bassoon accordion. In this mode, the bass part is played with the right hand. The bass and chord buttons are inactive (a real bassoon accordion doesn't have bass/chord buttons and can only be played with one hand). (1) Press [FUNCTION÷SET] E + [LEFT¥REGISTER] C to activate Bass-to-Treble mode. (2) Use the Treble registers F to select the desired bass-totreble sound. These sounds are not the same as the ones you can usually select with the bass registers. (The bass registers cannot be used in this mode.) There are 4 accordion sounds and 4 orchestral sounds that can be selected with the [ORCHESTRA÷ORGAN] button G. The numbers in the table below refer to the Treble registers you need to press.

A free-bass system on an accordion allows performers to play melodies and their own chords with their left hand. In this "free" mode, each left-hand button therefore only triggers one note. The available range covers three octaves or even more. Using the Free Bass section (1) Press [FUNCTION÷SET] E + register [4] to activate Free Bass mode.

To return to a song's preset tempo, select it (see above) and press the [DEC] and [INC] buttons simultaneously. Note: When you load the factory settings, all internal songs are reset to their factory-set tempo. The basic procedure is still the same: (1) Press and hold the [FUNCTION÷SET] E register until it starts flashing. (2) Press the indicated key or Treble button. The [FUNCTION÷SET] register now flashes rapidly, and the Treble keyboard can once again be used to play notes. (3) Use registers [1]~[4] F to select one of the suggested values. Alternatively, use the [DEC] or [INC] button to select the desired value. Sometimes, there are more options than can be selected with the 4 registers.

Europe Finnish 2 V-Accordion r Addendum 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 consequence 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. ENGLISH (The following functions have changed.) ENGLISH Function Orchestra Chord/Free Bass Level Piano/button [F#2]/[8] Memorized OK ­40~Std~40 Default setting: Std 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 2· Function Bellows Expression TX ENGLISH ­40 0 3 4 +20 +40 Memorized Piano/button [G3]/[21] OK Off, On, Arranger Default setting: Arranger ENGLISH 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 understand. 1 2 3· Off On Arranger ENGLISH 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 recommended setting when you use the FR-1 to control an arranger module. 3 ENGLISH FR-1 V-Accordion Addendum Free Bass Mode C3 Ab2 G2 Eb2 D3 Bb2 A2 F2 E2 C3 B2 G2 F#2 D3 C#3 A2 Ab2 E2 Eb2 B2 Bb2 F#2 F2 C#3 C3 Ab2 G2 Eb2 D3 Bb2 A2 F2 E2 C3 B2 G2 F#2 D3 C#3 A2 Ab2 E2 Eb2 B2 Bb2 F#2 F2 C#3 N.
