Two orchestral sounds in the treble section

FR-7x

V-Accordion

Starting with system version 1.03, the FR-7x allows you to play two orchestral sounds simultaneously (as a layer). Each

note you play will then be sounded by two sounds (strings and violin, for example), which may come in handy for expres-

sive purposes.

Playing two orchestra sounds in

the Treble section (Layer Timbre)

Select the first orchestral sound:

Switch on the FR-7x.

Press the [ORCHESTRA] register.

Press one of the registers [1]~[13] to select

the desired orchestral sound.

See “Orchestral sounds for the treble section” on

p. 29 in the Owner’s Manual for details.

Select the second orchestral sound (“Orch. Layer” sec-

tion):

Press the [MENU/WRITE] button.

Rotate the [DATA/ENTER] knob clockwise or

press the [DOWN] button to select the

“MENU 6 – Orchestra Edit” function group.

See “Selecting parameters” on p. 62 for how to select

parameters.

Press the [DATA/ENTER] knob to enter that

group.

Rotate the [DATA/ENTER] knob or the [UP]/

[DOWN] buttons to select the “6.12 Layer

Timbre” parameter.

Press the [DATA/ENTER] knob to activate the

“PATCH” parameter.

Rotate the [DATA/ENTER] knob to select the

second orchestral sound you want to play.

In this example, we selected the “Strings” sound.

Play few notes on the treble keyboard. You will hear

the selected orchestral sound together with the main

orchestral sound. Select “Off” if you no longer need a

second orchestral sound.

10.

Press the [DATA/ENTER] knob to confirm

your selection.

11.

Press the [EXIT/JUMP] button twice to

return in the main page.

NOTE

The following sounds cannot be layered with another

orchestral sound: any TW Organ sound, “HighLand”, “Zam-

pogna”.

Editing the second orchestral

sound (Layer Param)

Like for the first orchestral sound, the FR-7x provides

several parameters that allow you to edit the second

orchestral sound.

The available parameters are: Volume, Octave, Panpot,

Reverb Send, Chorus Send, Delay Send and Aftertouch

Pitch, Expr. Pedal.

They can be set on the new “6.13 Layer Param” page of

the “ORCH. EDIT” group. See “Selecting parameters” on

p. 62 for how to select the “6.13 Layer Param” page.

This page looks as follows:

The “PARAM” filed allows you to select the parameter

you wish to edit, and the “VALUE” field is used to set the

desired value for the selected parameter.

The table below lists the parameters you can select and

their setting ranges.

V-Accordion

PARAM VALUE Description

Volume Off, -40~”STD”~+40

Default setting: “STD”

This parameter allows you to set the volume of the selected “Layer Timbre”

sound. This is a relative parameter, which means that its value is added to or

subtracted from the standard value (“STD”).

Octave -3~0~+3

Default setting: Depending

on the sound

This parameter allows you to transpose the selected “Layer Timbre” sound in

octave steps.

Panpot 63~1 Treb., 0, 1~63 Bass

Default setting: 30 Treb.

This parameter allows you to change the selected “Layer Timbre” sound’s

placement in the stereo sound field (i.e. between the left and right speakers)

to create a livelier sound image.

Rev. Send

0~127

Use these parameters to set the reverb, chorus or delay send level (how much

effect should be applied to the selected “Layer Timbre” sound). The higher the

value you set, the more the sound will be processed by the effect in question.

Cho. Send

Dly. Send

Aftert Pitch Off, 1/4 Down, 1/2 Down,

1/4 Up, 1/2 Up

Default setting: Off

The treble keyboard of the piano-type model generates aftertouch messages

(on the button-type model, aftertouch can be generated with the Master

bar). “Aftertouch” refers to the fact that you press a key even further down

after playing a note.

This effect allows you to bend the pitch down (temporarily lower the note) by

a quarter (“1/4 Down”) or a semi-tone (“1/2 Down”). Select “1/4 Up” or “1/2

Up” to bend the notes up a quarter or a semi-tone. Select “Off” to switch off

the selected “Layer Timbre” sound’s aftertouch recognition.

Expr. Pedal Off, On

Default setting: Off

Set this parameter to “On” if you wish to control the selected “Layer Timbre”

sound’s volume with an optional EV-series expression pedal connected to the

FBC-7.

Set this parameter to “Off” if you wish to control the selected “Layer Timbre”

sound’s volume with your movements of the bellows or via your playing

dynamics. See “Orchestral sounds and bellows/velocity control” on p. 128 in

the owner’s manual.

MIDI parameters of the second orchestral sound (Layer Timbre)

6.14 Layer MIDI Tx

A “6.14 Layer MIDI Tx” page has been added to the “6

ORCH. EDIT” menu. It contains a series of MIDI parame-

ters for the layer section you need to set one by one.

See “Parameters” on p. 114 in the owner’s manual for a

description of the available MIDI parameters.

These settings are saved along with all other Set

parameters, which allows you to use different MIDI set-

tings for each Set.

12.1 RealTime RX-TX

The “PART” parameter on the “12.1 RealTime RX-TX”

page now also allows you to select “Orch.Layer”, i.e. the

“Layer Timbre” part. Use “CHANNEL” to assign it the

desired MIDI channel.

See “MIDI channel numbers” on p. 109 in the owner’s

manual for details about this parameter.

12.4 Expression MIDI TX

The “PART” parameter on the “12.4 Expression MIDI TX”

page now also allows you to select “Orch.Layer”, i.e. the

“Layer Timbre” part. Use “VALUE” to assign it the desired

setting.

See “Specifying which parts transmit expression

messages” on p. 110 in the owner’s manual for details

about this parameter.

Guitar mode for the Orchestral Chord section

V-Accordion

The FR-7x’s Guitar mode allows you to play realistic guitar parts. When you activate this mode, all chord buttons trigger

6-note chords (like on a guitar) rather than the 3-note chords typical of an accordion.

This setting has been added to the “7.2 Lowest note”

parameter (see page 79 in the owner’s manual). Rather

than simply specify the lowest notes the chords can

play, you can also choose one of thee guitar chord voic-

ings (tablatures).

To select the “7.2 Lowest note” parameter,

see “Selecting parameters” on p. 62 in the

owner’s manual.

The display now looks more or less as follows:

Choose a “Gtr Table” option to take advantage of the

FR-7x’s Guitar mode, or a note to specify the lower

limit. See the table below:

Default setting: F

NOTE

Guitar mode can also be interesting for other sounds than

guitar. Feel free to experiment.

Other added functionality

FR-7x

V-Accordion

The following functions have also been added to the FR-7x’s original parameter set:

Expression Pedal

5.12 ORCH.BS EDIT Expression Pedal

6.11 ORCH. EDIT Expression Pedal

7.11 ORCH.CHD EDIT Expression Pedal

8.9 ORCH.FBS EDIT Expression Pedal

The “Expression Pedal” parameter of the various orches-

tral sections allows you to specify for each orchestral

sound whether its volume should be controlled using

an optional EV-series expression pedal connected to the

FBC-7 or not.

This allows for flexible control of the orchestral sounds

you are using. One example would be to activate

Expression Pedal control of the bass section’s TW organ

sounds, while the strings sound’s volume is controlled

via the bellows.

To select the desired “Expression Pedal”

parameter, see “Selecting parameters” on

p. 62 in the owner’s manual.

The display now looks more or less as follows

(depending on which page you selected):

The following table shows the available settings for

the “Expression Pedal” parameter.

Additional option for ‘Bass&Chd

Mode’

10.8 Bass&Chd Mode

A new “Belgium” setting (“Bs Rows Belgium”) is now

available for playing bass and chord notes. It simulates

the typical button layout used in Belgium where the

the bass and chord buttons are vertically aligned.

Selecting this mode obviously does not rearrange the

physical buttons. It will, however, make it easier for

players accustomed to a Belgian bass button layout, to

play the FR-7x. See the illustration on p. 10 for the note

assignments to the bass and chord buttons.

To select the “10.8 Bass&Chd Mode” param-

eter, see “Selecting parameters” on p. 62 in

the owner’s manual.

VALUE Description

The volume of the selected sound can

be changed with an optional EV-series

pedal connected to the FBC-7 (which

needs to be connected to the FR-7x).

The velocity sensitivity can now be set separately for

the orchestral bass and the orchestral chord sections.

They thus no longer need to use the same setting.

To select the “10.16 Orch.Bass Touch” or the

“10.17 Orch.Chord Touch” parameter, see

“Selecting parameters” on p. 62 in the

owner’s manual.

The display now looks more or less as follows

(depending on which page you selected):

“10.16 Orch.Bass Touch” allows you to specify the

velocity sensitivity of the bass buttons when they are

used to play one of the orchestral sounds.

“10.17 Orch.Chord Touch” has the same function for

the chord buttons.

Neither has any effect on the “TW Lower” or “TW

Pedal” organ sounds.

See “10.15 Orchestra Touch” on p. 92 in the owner’s

manual for the available settings and their meaning.

10.18 Drum Touch

This newly added parameter allows you to specify the

velocity sensitivity of the drums sounds you can assign

to the bass and/or chord buttons. See “3.7 Bass Drum”

on p. 72, “3.8 Chord Drum” on p. 73 and “5.7 Bass

Drum” on p. 77 in the owner’s manual.

To select the “10.18 Drum Touch” parame-

ter, see “Selecting parameters” on p. 62 in

the owner’s manual.

The following table shows the available settings for

the “Drum Touch” parameter:

New entry in the ‘Troubleshooting’ chapter

Please add the following entry to the “Troubleshooting” section in the Owner’s Manual:

■The bellows exhibits an erratic behavior

If the bellows doesn’t work as expected, causing

notes to sound even while it is not moved, its sensors

may need resetting.

To do so, close the bellows, switch off the FR-7x, then

press and hold the [UP] and [DOWN] buttons while

switching the FR-7x back on. If this operation doesn’t

solve the problem, please contact your Roland dealer.
