NOTE
Whenever you select "ALL" and set a different reed type, the "3.3
Noises" settings are automatically adapted to the reed type you
select here.
You may have to change those settings afterwards if you wish to
use different noise type.
3.3 Noises
On this page, you can specify the instrument
whose button noises ("BUTTON NOISE") should be
used when you select this register while playing.
(Note that other bass registers can be assigned
different noises.)
The "REED GROWL" parameter allows you to
simulate the typical noise a bass reed makes just before it stops vibrating
altogether (a kind of "musical flatulence" if you will).
Each instrument of the accordion family produces its own typical growl.
The growl that matches the sound selected with "3.1 Reed Type" probably
yields the most realistic effect – but feel free to select another one if you
like it better.

3.4 Effect Send
On this page, you can adjust the Reverb, Chorus
and Delay effect for the bass section.

Explanation
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
Select the desired setting.
Use the "LEVEL" parameter to specify
how prominent the noise should be.
Select the desired setting.

3.6 BASS MIDI TX
3.7 CHORD MIDI TX
These pages contain a series of MIDI parameters for the selected
register. You need to set them one by one. One page allows you to
specify which
MIDI messages the bass notes (i.e. the two or three button rows
closest to the bellows) should transmit, the other does the same for
the chord buttons (the remaining buttons in the bass section).
These parameters are saved along with all other Set parameters,
which allows you to use different MIDI settings for each Set – and
even each register within a Set.

Explanation
Use these parameters to set the
Reverb, Chorus or Delay send levels
(how much effect should be applied
to the bass section).
The higher the value you set, the
more the bass section (which includes
the chord buttons) will be processed
by the effect in question.
Explanation
Here, you can specify how
strongly the pitch of the
simulated Bass reed(s) changes
when you open or close the
bellows faster than usual.
If the "Standard" setting seems
too mild, try "High". If it is too
strong, use "Low". If you do
not want any detuning effect,
select "Off".
The most convincing
setting usually depends on the
"3.1
selected instrument(s). See
Reed Type" (p.
75).
