    Performing Performing with a Variety of Sounds The FP-7 features over 300 different internal sounds, allowing you to enjoy performing with sounds suitable for many different types of music. These onboard sounds are called “Tones.” The Tones are divided into seven different groups, each of which is assigned to a different Tone button.

  • Page 36: Simulating The Way That Sounds Are Created On An Organ (Tone Wheel)

    You can simulate the creation of tones using the harmonic bars by assigning footages to the Tone buttons. The FP-7 provides two screens for this purpose: the “Tonewheel Organ screen” and the “TW Edit (Tone Wheel Edit) screen.” Graphics indicating the state of the harmonic bars are shown in these screens.
  • Page 37 “folded-back” in units of one octave. Folding back the high-frequency portion prevents the high-frequency sounds from being unpleasantly shrill, and folding back the low-frequency portion prevents the sound from becoming “muddy.” On the FP-7 faithfully simulates this characteristic.
