2.2 Register

The parameters on this page are used in
combination with the settings above. Here, you
decide which feet should be audible and how they
should be played. It is therefore on this page that
you specify whether the sounds you selected
above will indeed be used.

Explanation
This parameter allows you to choose
the system used for detuning the
"Musette Detune" (p.
8' reeds. See
40) for details.
Explanation
Chose the reed you wish to edit.
• "Off": No sound
• "On": Sound
• "CASS": On-Cassotto (muffled
sound)
This parameter allows you to transpose
the selected register one octave up or
down.
This can be used for two purposes:
• to quickly correct the pitch that
results from the active reeds (see
above) –or–
• to avoid overlaps of the selected
register when using an ORCHESTRA
sound. (The ORCHESTRA
section also provides an "Octave"
parameter.)
This parameter can be set for each
reed/footage individually. It allows you
to create the desired "mix" (volume
balance) for the active reeds.
This is a relative parameter: its value
is added to or subtracted from the
standard value ("Std"). As a rule, first
decide which reed is most important
and set its "Volume" parameter to "Std".
Then reduce or increase the volume
of the "ancillary" reeds to create the
desired balance.
Explanation
This parameter allows you to not
only set the level of the "typical" valve
noises, but also to specify what kind of
instrument should generate the noise.
Use the LEVEL parameter to specify how
prominent the noise should be.

2.3 Effects Send

The FR-8x contains 1 multi-effects processors
("MFX"), one reverb processor, one chorus

2.4 MFX Edit

The parameters in this page depend on the MFX
type that you selected.
Select and set the desiderate parameter.
For details regarding MFX edit parameters refer to
the"Tone & Drum Kit List " supplementary manual.
Explanation
Use these parameters to set the Reverb,
Chorus or Delay send levels (how
much effect should be applied to the
accordion section).
Select "Off" if you don't need the MFX
processor.
The FR-8x provides 84 different
multi-effect types, some of which are
combinations of two effects for added
flexibility. This parameter allows you to
select the desired type.
