ORC.BASS EDIT parameters

The parameters of the ORC.BASS EDIT group allow you to edit the Orchestra Bass section. See page 27

for details about the Orchestra Bass section. See pages 35 and 37 for how to select and adjust the

parameters.

Press [UP] and [DOWN] simultaneously to select the value that is indicated as “Default setting”.

The selection of Orchestra Bass sounds can be auto-

mated on the “2.12 Bass Link” page (page 42) – for each

Treble register.

Any changes you make can be saved even without

using the WRITE function (see p. 77). To avoid losing

your changes, it would be a good idea to take advan-

tage of the following automatic routine.

Whenever you press [EXIT÷JUMP] after editing a Menu

parameter, the FR-7/FR-5 asks you whether you want

to save your changes:

“YES” is selected by default. If you want to save your

changes, proceed as described below. (If you don’t, turn

the [DATA÷ENTER] knob to select “NO”, then press the

[DATA÷ENTER] knob.)

Note: You can save your changes later using the WRITE function

(see p. 77). But be sure to do so before selecting another Set –

and before switching the FR-7/FR-5 off.

To save your changes:

(1) Press the [DATA÷ENTER] knob. The display now

responds with:

(2) If necessary, select another Set than the one you

are currently using.

(3) Press the [WRITE] button to save your changes. The

display now briefly confirms that your settings

have been stored:

Note: Do not switch off the FR-7/FR-5 or select another Set

before saving settings you want to keep: save them first.

5.1 Lowest Note

This parameter allows you to

specify the lowest note the

selected sound can play. If you

have ever worked with a Roland

arranger module, you may be

familiar with the term “Wrap”. That is precisely what

this parameter does.

The Orchestra Bass sounds (like the Orchestra sounds of

the Treble section) are PCM waveforms (samples) of

acoustic instruments. Each acoustic instrument has a

set range: it cannot sound notes below or above that

range. A normally tuned 4-string bass guitar allows you

to play a low E, but not the D below it, for instance:

Samples (PCM waveforms), on the other hand, can

lower the pitch of a recorded sound almost indefinitely.

But that doesn’t sound very natural. The “Lowest Note”

parameter allows you to specify the lowest pitch the

sample can use. If you nevertheless play a lower note

on the button keyboard, it will be sounded one octave

above the corresponding pitch – and sound natural.

Here is an example:

The Orchestra Bass sound therefore sometimes changes

octaves. For some songs, the default setting (E 28) may

yield odd results, especially if you need to play walking

bass lines, etc. In that case, you can change the “Lowest

Note” setting to achieve a satisfactory result.

The options are: E 28, F 29, F# 30, G 31, Ab 32, A 33,

Bb 34, B 35, C 36; Default setting: E 28. (The figures

refer to the MIDI note numbers – each MIDI note has its

own “address”.)
