OCTAVE –3~0~+3
This parameter allows you to transpose
the Orchestra Chord section (i.e. the
selected orchestral or organ sound) up
or down.
Use it if the part you want to play with
the bass buttons is too low or too high
for what you have in mind.
VOLUME O, –40~“Std”~40
This parameter allows you to set the
level of the Orchestra Bass part
PANPOT
63 Bass~0~63
Treble
Depending on the selected sound, this
parameter allows you to change the
Orchestra Chord part’s placement in the
stereo sound eld (i.e. between the left
and right speakers) to create a livelier
sound image. The Treb” values mean
that the sound will appear on the same
side as the Right Hand (treble) accordion
sound. This setting applies to both the
FR-8x’s internal speakers and the L/
MONO socket.
The “Bass” values mean that the sound
will appear on the same side as the bass
accordion sound (which is not available
while an Orchestra Chord sound is being
used). This setting applies to both the
FR-8x’s internal speakers and the R/
MONO socket.
Choose “0” if the Orchestra Chord sound
should be at the center of the stereo
image.

(“MFX”), one reverb processor, one chorus
processor and one delay processor that can be
