Editing FUNCTION settings

6. Editing FUNCTION settings
The FR-2/FR-2b provides a series of specialized parameters that may come in handy when you need to fine-tune the FR-2/FR-2b's
response to your playing style. Some of these settings can be saved to the FR-2/FR-2b's User Programs (see p. 22).

Selecting the desired function

(1) Press and hold the [SET] E register until it starts flash-
ing.
The Treble keyboard can now be used to select the desired
function. If you own an FR-2b, please refer to the follow-
ing illustration for the Treble buttons you need to press
(depending on the selected Treble mode, the buttons may
be assigned to different notes). For the sake of conve-
nience, the note names of the keyboard version are also
shown.

(2) Press the indicated key or Treble
button.
(Key names with a "#" symbol refer
to black keys.)
The [SET] register now flashes rapidly,
and the Treble keyboard can once
again be used to play notes.
(3) Use registers [1]~[8] F to select one
of the suggested values.
There may be fewer than 8 registers
for the parameter you select.
Alternatively, use the [DEC] or [INC] button to select the
desired turning. Sometimes, there are more options than
can be selected with the 8 registers.

You can also press and hold these buttons to quickly select
a significantly higher or lower value. Each time you select a
setting that is also assigned to a register, the register in
question lights.

with a "•" in the discussion below to return to the factory setting of
the currently selected parameter.
(4) Press the [SET] register twice to leave the FR-2/FR-2b's
FUNCTION mode.
If you want to set another FUNCTION parameter, press [SET]
once (it flashes slowly), followed by the desired key, then
proceed with step (3) above.
In the following, the messages at the right edge of the
gray bars have the following meaning:
"OK": Can be saved in the Global area (common to all Sets).
"POW": Reset when you switch off the FR-2/FR-2b.
