FR-1x V-Accordion
Connecting to MIDI devices
Yes
Select this setting if you want to receive MIDI data
generated by an external device.
If you select "YES" here, the FR-1x's sound source can
no longer be played via its keyboards (Local Off). If
you connect the FR-1x's USB COMPUTER port to a
USB port of your computer and set the DAW/
sequencer software to "Soft Thru", the notes you play
on the keyboards will be transmitted to the FR-1x's
sound source via the computer.

NOTE
See "Communication via the USB COMPUTER port" on p. 57
for the required connection.
Treble TX/RX channel
This parameter allows you to define the
MIDI channel for the Treble (accordion)
section. The assignment set here applies
both to the transmission ("TX") and reception ("RX") of
MIDI data.
Value 1~16, Off
Default setting: 1
1~16
Specifies the treble accordion's MIDI channel.
Off
Select "Off" if the treble section should neither
receive nor transmit MIDI data.
NOTE
Though it is perfectly possible to assign the same MIDI chan-
nel to several sections, the result is usually disappointing and
may lead to a lot of confusion.

Treble Octave Tx
This parameter allows you to transpose
the Note-on messages transmitted by
the treble section up to three octaves up
or down.
Value –3~0~3
Default setting: 0
This can be used for songs where an accordion register
of the treble section (for example) should be doubled by
a piccolo flute played by an external module whose
notes would be far too low if they were used as is. As
stated above, each MIDI note has a unique number. This
parameter allows you to add (or subtract) 12 ("1"
octave), 24 ("2" octaves) or 36 ("3" octaves) to (from)
the note numbers generated by your playing.
Bass/Free Bass TX/RX Channel
This parameter allows you to define the
MIDI channel for the bass buttons or
Free Bass (accordion) part, depending on
which mode is currently active.
Value 1~16, Off
Default setting: 2
The assignment set here applies both to the transmis-
sion ("TX") and reception ("RX") of MIDI data.
1~16
Specifies the bass or Free Bass accordion's MIDI chan-
nel.
Off
Select this setting if the bass or Free Bass section
should neither receive nor transmit MIDI data.
Bass/Free Bass Octave TX
This parameter allows you to transpose
the Note-on messages transmitted by
the bass buttons or Free Bass section up
to three octaves up or down.
Value –3~0~3

MIDI channel for the chord buttons
when they are used to play the selected
accordion register.
