Free Bass Button Noise
The bass section of almost all accordion
instruments can be played via buttons.
Such buttons produce a typical noise
when pressed.
Use this parameter to specify how prominent that but-
ton noise should be in Free Bass mode.
Value Off, –40~Std~+40
Default setting: Std
Free Bass Reed Growl
This 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 instru-
ment of the accordion family produces its own typical
growl.
Use this parameter to specify how prominent that
growl should be in Free Bass mode.
Value Off, –40~Std~+40
Default setting: Std

This option means that the register combination acts
as a MIDI remote control that starts and stops play-
back of an external sequencer or arranger module.

This effect creates the impression that
you are playing in a concert hall, a
mtp
church or a room. It adds "depth" to the
sound. This is where you can specify what kind of effect
the Reverb processor should generate.
