 10.14 Treble Release T.

V-Accordion 

r

The second time you press the [DATA÷ENTER] knob, the 
display briefly shows:

Set this parameter to “Off” if you don’t want to use the 
[DATA÷ENTER] knob for transmitting MIDI Start/Stop 
messages.

Note: You can also assign the MIDI Start/Stop functionality to 
one of the FBC-7’s foot switches. See “10.4 Pedal Controller” on 
p. 68.

(–64~0~63, Default setting: 0) 
Here is parameter that allows 
you to shorten the Treble accor-
dion sounds if you feel the vir-
tual reeds linger a bit long after 
you release a key. To do so, select a negative value. The 

term “Release” is taken from synthesizers and refers to 
the speed at which the notes you play disappear when 
you release the keys.

Just think of the difference between a cymbal you hit 
with and without muting (“choking”) it:

Of course, the difference is far less dramatic here, but it 
may just be what you are looking for. You can also 
make the notes longer by selecting a positive value. “0” 
means that the original realease time doesn’t change.

The FR-7 comes with a Ni-Mh 
battery that allows you to use it 
without connecting it to the 
supplied FBC-7. The FR-5 pro-
vides the same battery compart-
ment as the FR-7, but the battery is an option. (As long 
as you do not purchase such a battery, you need to 
connect the FR-5 to the supplied FBC-7.)

Note: There is no “EDIT” page here, because there is no parameter 
you can set.

Depending on how the FR-7/FR-5 is powered, the dis-
play shows one of the following messages:

This message means that the FR-7/
FR-5 is powered by the battery in 
its compartment. The battery icon 
shows how much power is left.

It would be a good idea, however, 

to stop by this page before you go on stage or start 
playing, because what you see then might just con-
vince you to use the FBC-7.

This message means that the bat-
tery is being recharged by the 
FBC-7. This is not performed auto-
matically. You need to connect the 

FR-7/FR-5’s “TO FBC-7” socket to the “TO FR-7/FR-5 
V-ACCORDION” socket on the FBC-7 and press the 
BATTERY CHARGER button (so that it lights). The bat-
tery icon indicates the amount of energy already 
available.

When the battery is fully charged, the display briefly 
shows a “Recharge Complete” message.

While the FR-7/FR-5 is connected to the FBC-7, the 
latter supplies the power to your V-Accordion (the 
battery in the FR-7/FR-5’s compartment is therefore 
bypassed). However, while the BATTERY CHARGER 
button lights, the FR-7/FR-5 cannot be used, because 
the FBC-7 “concentrates” on recharging the FR-7/
FR-5’s battery.

This message means that the FR-7/
FR-5 contains a battery, which is 
not used, because the FR-7/FR-5 is 
connected to the FBC-7. The FBC-7 

therefore supplies the power to your V-Accordion. 
The battery icon nevertheless informs you about the 
battery’s current charge.

This message means that the FR-7/
FR-5 contains no battery. It is con-
nected to the FBC-7, however (oth-
erwise you would not be able to 

switch it on). In the case of an FR-5 without an 
optional battery, this is the only message you’ll ever 
see.

This parameter allows you to 
copy the settings of all three 
effects processors from one Set 
to another. This may help you 
save time, because the effects 
processors contain an impressive number of parame-
