Explanation
This parameter is only meaningful
when the FR-8x is connected to an
amplifier, a HiFi mixing console or
a commercially available wireless
system. If the FR-8x output signal
distorts even if the [VOLUME]
knob is set to the minimum value
(or close to it), try "–6dB". If that is
still "too hot", set this parameter
to "–12dB".
NOTE
This parameter has no effect on
the FR-8x internal speakers.
Much care has been taken to
provide a natural stereo image
for the accordion sounds. If you
think the stereo image is too wide
for comfort (or if you prefer to set
the PAN controls on your mixing
console differently), you can use
this parameter to reduce the
stereo image.
• "–63" corresponds to an
extremely narrow stereo im-
age. All other values represent
slight (or increasingly drastic)
reductions of the stereo
width.
• "Natural" means that the
original stereo image is used,
while
• "Wide" represents the widest
stereo image.
• "Off": When you use the FR-8x
for live performances and
therefore connect it to an
external amplification system,
it may be convenient to switch
off the FR-8x internal speakers,
because doing so preserves
battery power.
• "On" : Choose this option if
you want to use the FR-8x
internal speakers.
NOTE
Connecting a pair of
headphones mutes the internal
speakers.
• "On+Phones": Choose this
option if you want to use the
FR-8x internal speakers also
while a pair of headphones is
connected.
This parameter allows you to
cause the FR-8x to switch itself
off after the selected number of
minutes has elapsed if you are not
using it.
Select "Disable" if you prefer not to
use this function.

14.5 Function Switch

The parameters on this page allow you to assign

be used as function switch. Remember that these
functions are only used when the "Function
Switch" parameter (see above) is set to "On".

Switch 6
Explanation
If active, this new parameter
increases sound power on the
FR-8x speakers.
• "Off" It produces a standard
sound power on the FR-8x
speakers (Suggested ).
• "On" It enhances sound power
on the FR-8x speakers.
NOTE
In some particular registers
combination the increase of
sound power can generate
clipping or distortion in
the speakers. Set the Boost
parameters "Off" to eliminate
the inconvenience.
If the playback of audio file seems
too loud or too soft, you may want
to change the audio level.
NOTE
The "WAV/MP3 LEVEL" doesn't
adjust the Audio Looper level.

Explanation
Select "On" if you want to use the bass
button column closest to the FR-8x
logo to select or control the desired
functions. When this parameter is set
to "On", the buttons in question can no
longer be used to play notes or chords.
