FR-7x V-Accordion
® Global MIDI parameters (Advanced)
(1) While the main page is displayed, press and hold
the [EXIT÷JUMP] button until the display looks as
follows:
(2) Press register [12] to specify the function group.
(3) Press register [6] to select the following page:
(4) Press the [DATA÷ENTER] knob to select "PRG NUMB"
(left entry), then turn it to select the memory
group whose "real" MIDI address you want to
define.
The possibilities are: 1~128, 129~256, 257~384,
385~512.
Each "PRG NUMB" entry represents a group of 128
numbers. By selecting an entry, you tell the FR-7x
(for example): "Whenever I select a memory number
between 257 and 384 on the 'Send PC' page, please
change that to the corresponding program change
number in the 1~128 range, add the two CC values
to the right on this page, and send the resulting MIDI
messages."
(5) Press the [DATA÷ENTER] knob to select "CC00" (top
right entry), then turn it to select a value (0~127).
"0" corresponds to the first bank (called the "Capital
bank" on GM2/GS-compatible instruments).
Be sure to select this number based on the informa-
tion given in the owner's manual of the instrument
you wish to control. Also specify the correct CC32
number.
(6) Press the [DATA÷ENTER] knob to select "CC32", then
turn it to select a value (0~127).
Again, the value to enter here depends on the infor-
mation you find in the manual of the instrument you
want to control. Some manufacturers don't use CC32
messages for sound selection, others use them to
define modes, and still others rely on them as com-
plementary bank information.
(7) Press the [DATA÷ENTER] knob to confirm your
selection.
(8) Repeat steps (4)~(7) using a different memory
group.

(9) Press [EXIT÷JUMP] several times to return to the
main page.
(10) See page 103 if you want to save these settings.
If you don't save them, they are reset when you
switch off the FR-7x.
(11) Now use the "Send PC" page to test your assign-
ments. See below.
Transmitting program changes
(1) Connect the FR-7x to the FBC-7, and the FBC-7's
MIDI OUT socket to the MIDI IN port of the mod-
ule, synthesizer, etc., you wish to control.
(2) Set the module's MIDI receive channel (often
called "RX") to "13" (or the number of the FR-7x's
Control channel).
See its manual for details. If you are unable to
change the receiver's MIDI channel, set the FR-7x's
"Control Ch" to match the external instrument's "RX"
channel. (See "MIDI channel numbers" on p. 109 for
how to set the "Control Ch" parameter.)
(3) Hold down the [ORCHESTRA÷MODE] register while
pressing register [6].
(4) Use Treble registers [1]~[10] to enter the sound
number.
You may have to look in the owner's manual of the
module or synthesizer you are controlling to find
out which number you need to transmit for the
sound (or memory) you want to select. You can
enter any number from "1" to "512".
The [10] treble register acts as "0" here. To enter
"502", for example, press registers [5], [10], and [2].
The numbers you can enter have the following
meaning:
PC numbers Meaning
001~128 Use the CC00 & CC32 definitions of the
first group.
129~256 Use the CC00 & CC32 definitions of the
second group.
257~384 Use the CC00 & CC32 definitions of the
third group.
385~512 Use the CC00 & CC32 definitions of the
fourth group.
