V-Accordion

First steps

The sections of your FR-7/FR-5

Before showing you how to use the FR-7/FR-5, let’s briefly look at

the various “sections” of your instrument, as that will help you

understand how your V-Accordion works.

The FR-7/FR-5 is a “virtual” accordion. That term was borrowed

from synthesizers that recreate the sounds of other synthesizers

using a different technology (hence the term “virtual analog syn-

thesizer”, for example).

The FR-7/FR-5 recreates the sounds of various accordion instru-

ments (the “virtual” part) and can even generate orchestral sounds,

like trumpet, flute, etc. (the synthesizer part).

The sections outlined in the illustration to the right contain several

functions you can set. Let us agree to call those functions “parame-

ters”.

The parameters allow you to change certain aspects of

the FR-7/FR-5’s sound: you can select a French

musette, an Italian accordion, etc., specify how strongly

the virtual reeds should be detuned, add digital effects

and more. Each section has its own parameters, so that

you can fine-tune your sounds until you really like the

entire accordion sound. You can save your settings and

select them each time you want to play a given piece.

There is thus no need to set the parameters time and

again.

The various sections are combined into “Sets”. Why

is that? Because that way, you only need to select one

memory (the Set) in order to save and recall the set-

tings of all sections.

There are 40 Set memories that already contain useful

settings right out of the box. But you can replace them

with your own settings. (And if 40 Sets are not enough,

you can archive and load new sets via MIDI, see

page 75).

Sets are like the trunk of a car that contains several

instruments (bandoneon, musette, etc.). The instru-

ments themselves can be recalled via the registers.

There are 14 Treble memories, 7 Bass, Free Bass and

Orchestra Bass registers and 22 Orchestra registers per

Set. Except for the Orchestra sounds, the registers can

behave like on an acoustic accordion, i.e. they allow you

to change the footage combinations.

If you are really into programming, however, you could

also assign completely different instruments to each

aforesaid car trunk) for a variety of accordion sounds.

Another advantage of the Set structure is that it allows

you to reconfigure the three digital effects processors

(Reverb, Chorus, Delay) whose settings always apply to

all sections.

O, and… the Sets can be selected with the SET [√][®]

buttons on the FR-7/FR-5 and the SET ([1], [2]) foots-

witches on the FBC-7 (if it is connected to the FR-7/

FR-5).
