Introduction to Orch. Free Bass Chord Parameters
All changes you make here apply to the last Orchestra Free Bass
register you selected. So be sure to select LEFT HAND [ORCH
CHORD/F.BASS] button and press the register whose settings you
wish to change before selecting and editing any of the Orchestra
Chord Edit parameters. You can, however, decide to save your
settings to a dierent register if you realize that you’ve been editing
the wrong one.
IMPORTANT NOTE
The FR-8x internal memory remembers your settings while the
FR-8x is switched on. While editing, there is no absolute need
to save your settings. Be aware, however, that all changes are
lost when the FR-8x is switched o.
See “How to Save a Set” (p. 42) to save your changes. Also
be sure to read “Important remark about saving your settings”
(p. 70).

Parameter Value Explanation
OCTAVE –3~0~+3
This parameter allows you to transpose
the Orchestra Free Bass 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.

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 Free Bass 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 Free Bass sound is
being used). This setting applies to both
the FR-8x internal speakers and the R/
MONO socket.
Choose “0” if the Orchestra Free Bass
sound should be at the center of the
stereo image.
10.3 Eects Send (Not for VTW Organ Tone)
The FR-8x contains 1 multi-eects processors
(“MFX”), one reverb processor, one chorus
processor and one delay processor that can be
used to process the Orchestra Free Bass section.
