Press one of the 3 bass registers (1~3) to
select the desired sound.

selected for the bass and chord buttons:

two sounds, while register "3" provides access to
three sounds. You may therefore have to press the
register in question repeatedly.
Selecting orchestral sounds for the left hand
Here is how to select an orchestral sound for the left
hand. While the bass and chord accordion sections
always use the same accordion sound, orchestral
sounds can be assigned to only the bass buttons, only
the chord buttons, or both (in which case you can select
different orchestral sounds for the bass and chord
rows).
