6. Editing sounds

Almost all sound aspects of your FR-7/FR-5 can be changed ("edited") to your liking. On p. 31 we already showed you
how to quickly edit the most important aspects of a sound. All changes you make are temporary. If you want to preserve
them, you need to use the WRITE function.

Selecting parameters

IEasy and Full modes
Be aware that the availability of a parameter may depend on the display mode that is currently selected (page 19). If
you can't seem to find the parameter you need, switch to "Full" mode.
IImportant note
Before changing your settings, be sure to select the Set the changes should apply to using the SET buttons (or the SET
footswitches on the FBC-7). That will help you avoid a lot of confusion at a later stage.
Selecting parameters using the Jump function
The FR-7/FR-5's parameters can be selected like on a
mobile phone (by entering their numbers) or using the
Menu structure. Let us first look at using the mobile
phone approach:
(1) Switch on the FR-7/FR-5.
See "Switching the power on and off" on p. 16. The
display now looks more or less as follows:
(2) In the descriptions below, locate the parameter
you wish to edit and look at its number.
(3) Press and hold the [EXIT÷JUMP] button until the
display looks as follows:
(4) Press a register [1]~[12] to specify the parameter
group.

The menu contains the following function groups:
Group
1 TUNING* Parameters related to the overall pitch
of your FR-7/FR-5. The Treble, Bass/
Free Bass and Orchestra groups con-

only apply to those sections.

(including MIDI parameters).
3 BASS EDIT Parameters for the Bass section

EDIT tion (including MIDI parameters).

8 ORC FREEBS Parameters for the Orchestra Free Bass

10 SYSTEM* Parameters that apply to all sections

11 UTILITY Parameters for checking the battery,
copying and archiving settings. This
group also contains a function for
restoring some or all factory Sets.
12 MIDI* MIDI channels, MIDI remote control.
Parameter groups with an asterisk (*) are not saved
along with the Set parameters. They are global
parameters that can be saved to a special memory.
