to save your settings. Be aware, however, that all changes are lost when
the FR-4x is switched off .
See "How to Save a Set" (p. 33) to save your changes.

MEMO
Setting of the bellows curve will be
automatically saved when you turn off the
power.
"Fixed Low,"
"Fixed Med,"
"Fixed High": There are
three "Fixed" curves
that always use the same
value, no matter how hard
or lightly you push/pull
the bellows (no dynamic
control).
"Low" means that a low
"Med"
value is used,
represents a medium value
and "High" a high value.
When you select one of
these three options, you
do not need to move the
bellows in order to hear
the notes you play.
"X-Light": requires even
less strength (the
stands for "extra").
"Light": means that you
do not need to push/
pull hard to achieve a
meaningful effect.
This setting makes it easier
to play when the bellows
resistance regulator is set
to a light setting.
