FR-7/FR-5 V-Accordion

(1) Press and hold the [EXIT÷JUMP] button until the 

display looks as follows:

(2) Press register [12] to specify the function group.

The MIDI channels can be set via a parameter of the 
“MIDI” group, which is why you need to select that 
group.

(3) Press register [1] to select the following page:

(4) Press the [DATA÷ENTER] knob to select “PART” (left 

entry), then turn it to select the part whose MIDI 
channel you want to set.
The entries you can select are: “Treble”, “Bass/Free”, 
“Chord”, “OrcBass”, “Orchestra”, “Orc Chord”, “Orc 
FreeBs”, “Basic Ch”, and “Control Ch”.

The “Basic Ch” (default setting “13”) can be used for 
selecting Sets from an external MIDI device (using 
program change numbers 1~40). If your external 
source sends Bank Select messages along with the 
program change number, CC00 and CC32 must both 
be set to “0”.
The “Control Ch” (default setting “13”) can only be 
used for sending program change messages (see 
below).

(5) Press the [DATA÷ENTER] knob to select “CHANNEL” 

(right entry), then turn it to select a MIDI channel.
The options are: “Off” and 1~16. Select “Off” if the 
part in question should neither receive nor transmit 
MIDI data.

Though it is perfectly possible to assign the same 
MIDI channel to several sections, the result is usually 
disappointing and may lead to a lot of confusion. 

(6) If necessary, repeat steps (4) and (5) to assign dif-

ferent MIDI channels to the remaining parts.

(7) Press [EXIT÷JUMP] to return to the Main page.

(8) To save your changes, proceed as follows:

• Press and hold the [MENU÷WRITE] button until the 

following page appears:

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

[DOWN] buttons) to select “Global”.

• Press the [DATA÷ENTER] knob to confirm your selec-

tion.

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

• Press the [MENU÷WRITE] button to save your 

changes. The display briefly shows a confirmation:

• Press the [EXIT÷JUMP] button to return to the Main 

page.

There may be situations where you use a MIDI sequence 
as accompaniment for your accordion solo. If such a 
sequence already contains the bass part (for example), 
you may not want to play it again, yet not doing any-
thing with your left hand may feel a little strange. By 
selecting “On” for a section, you switch off its connec-
tion with the internal tone generator (this is what MIDI 
buffs call “Local Off”). The section now receives MIDI 
data from a sequencer or other instrument you connect 
to the FBC-7’s MIDI IN port. (It also transmits MIDI mes-
sages to the FBC-7’s MIDI OUT port.)
