 9.7 Name

This function allows you to 
name the selected Set (8 char-
acters). It would be a good idea 
to use the name of the instru-
ment you “built” using the TRE-
BLE, BASS, FREE BASS, etc., group parameters – or the 
name of the Song you wish to use this Set for.

(1) Select the character position (indicated by a dark 

square) by pressing [UP] (previous character), 
[DOWN] (next character) or the [DATA÷ENTER] knob 
(next character).

(2) Turn the [DATA÷ENTER] knob to select the desired 

character.

• Press [UP] and [DOWN] simultaneously to erase the 

currently selected character (it will become a space).
Example: To replace the period (“.”) in “Fr.Folk” with a 
space (“Fr Folk”), position the cursor on the “.” and 
simultaneously press [UP]/[DOWN].

• To insert a space before the currently selected char-

acter and push all subsequent characters one posi-
tion to the right, select the character that should fol-
low the space, then press and hold [UP]. Example: To 
insert a space after the “.” in “Fr.Folk” (creating the 
name “Fr. Folk”), position the cursor on the second “F” 
and hold down [UP] for a while.

Note: If the name already contains 8 characters (“Bandoneo”), 
the last character is erased (example: “Band one”).

• To delete the character indicated by the cursor and 

move subsequent characters one position to the left, 
select it (example: “Fr.Folk”) and press and hold 
[DOWN] (“FrFolk”).

This parameter allows you to 
choose the Treble register (1~
14) that can be activated by 
pressing the Master bar. Note 
that this is only possible while 
the Treble section is in Solo mode (page 26) or while the 
Orchestra part is set to “CANCEL”.

In all other cases (Dual, High, Low modes), the Master 
bar is indeed used to mute the Orchestra part. And in 
Solo mode, the first press allows you to return from the 
Orchestra (if it’s on) to the Treble section.

Note: If you also take advantage of the Treble register’s “Link” 
functions (see p. 46), this “Recall” parameter actually allows you 
to reconfigure your entire FR-7/FR-5 simply by pressing the Mas-
ter bar.

This parameter allows you to 
assign an icon to your Set, 
which is displayed above its 
name on the Main page. In most 
cases, you will probably choose 
a picture that somehow illustrates the contents of your 
settings, but that is entirely up to you. The FR-7/FR-5 
contains 40 preset icons (stored in its internal memory).

The SYSTEM group contains parameters that are related to all Sets and all sections: they apply to the 
FR-7/FR-5 as a whole. See pages 38 and 40 for how to select and adjust the parameters.
Press [UP] and [DOWN] simultaneously to select the value that is indicated as “Default setting”.

Any changes you make can be saved using the WRITE 
function. 

(1) Press and hold the [MENU÷WRITE] button until the 

following page appears:

(2) Rotate the [DATA÷ENTER] knob (or use the [UP]/

[DOWN] buttons) to select “Global”.

(3) Press the [DATA÷ENTER] knob to confirm your 

selection.

Note: The GLOBAL page shows all parameters that are saved to 
the Global memory (there is only one such memory).

(4) Press the [MENU÷WRITE] button to save your 

changes. The display briefly shows a confirmation:

Note: If you don’t save the edited Global settings, they will be 
used until you switch off the FR-7/FR-5 (or change the settings 
again).
