Orchestral sounds for the Chord section
The Orchestra Chord part can replace the accordion
sound played by the chord rows of the bass keyboard.
There are no clever modes (DUAL, SOLO, etc.) here.
The ORCH CHORD part does what its name implies: it
only applies to the chord rows and has no effect on
the bass rows. The ORCH CHORD part is not available in
Free Bass mode (because there are no chord buttons in
that mode).
(1) Simultaneously press the three registers in the
middle.

Orchestral sounds for the Chord section
ISetting the volume of the ORCH CHORD sound
There may be times when the orchestral chord sound
is too loud or too soft with respect to the other avail-
able sections. In that case, you can change its vol-
ume:
(3) Press the [DOWN] button three times.
The display now responds with:
(4) Use the [DATA÷ENTER] knob to set the desired
value.
This is actually a balance parameter with a setting
range of "Off", –40~"Std"~+40. "Std" means that the
Orchestra Chord part uses its "normal" volume. Nega-
tive values (–) make the Orchestra Chord part softer,
while positive values (+) make it louder.
You can save the new value (and the remaining
changes you make). See page 92.
(5) Return to the Main page by pressing [EXIT÷JUMP].
ISwitching off the ORCH CHORD part
(6) Press the three central registers again to return to
the normal (accordion) chord mode.
Orchestral sounds for the Free Bass section
The orchestral Free Bass part can replace the accordion
sound played by the button keyboard while Free Bass
mode is active. In that case, all bass buttons play bass
notes – no chords. There are no clever modes (DUAL,
SOLO, etc.) here.
(1) Simultaneously press the three registers labeled
"FREE BASS" to switch to the accordion mode of
the same name.

mode.
