Additional information about the orchestral section
NOTE
This only switches off the section that is currently selected.
Remember that the treble section can control both an
accordion and an orchestral or organ sound. While in
Orchestra mode, you thus only switch off (or activate) the
orchestral/organ section. And while in accordion mode, you
only switch off the treble accordion section.
NOTE
Even if you switch off the treble section, it still transmits
MIDI messages.
Using the Sordina
The [SORDINA] switch
allows you to attenuate
the sound (make it softer)
by selecting "MELLOW".
On an acoustic accordion,
this closes the wooden
resonance chamber inside
the instrument.
The FR-3x simulates this
effect electronically.
NOTE
The Sordina only applies to the treble section.
Selecting the ORGAN/ORCHESTRA mode
The orchestral or organ sound assigned to the treble
section can be played in isolation or together with the
treble accordion sound. There are several combinations:
SOLO, DUAL, HIGH and LOW.
1.
Select an orchestral or organ sound.
See "Selecting sounds for the right hand" on p. 26.
2.
Hold down the [ORGAN/ORCHESTRA] regis-
ter and press treble register [7] to select
"LOW/HIGH" or register [8] for "DUAL/
SOLO".
NOTE
If you hold down [ORGAN/ORCHESTRA] for more than 2
seconds without pressing another register, the FR-3x
switches to demo song mode. In that case, press [ORGAN/
ORCHESTRA] again to leave demo song mode, then repeat
step 2.
