 10.5 Bass & Chord Mode
V-Accordion

■ Orch Bs Sust—The footswitch can be used to hold the 
orchestral notes of the Bass section that are transmitted 
via MIDI. This is for MIDI control only.
■ OrchFB Sust—The footswitch can be used to hold the 
orchestral notes of the Free Bass section that are transmit-
ted via MIDI. This is for MIDI control only.
■ OrchCh Sust—The footswitch can be used to hold the 
orchestral notes of the chord section that are transmitted 
via MIDI. This is for MIDI control only.
■ Orch On/Off—The footswitch can be used to switch the 
Orchestra Treble section on and off. This has no effect on 
the Orchestra’s mode setting, nor can you specify which 
orchestral sound should be used. (You can, however, use 
“2.13 Orchestra Link” for that.)
■ Start/Stop—This setting only makes sense if you connect 
the FBC-7’s MIDI OUT socket to the MIDI IN socket of an 
external sequencer, arranger module, drum machine or 
DisCover 5M. Pressing the footswitch once will cause the 
external device to start playback. Obviously, you need to 
load the desired song, select a Music Style, etc., before-
hand. Press the footswitch again to stop playback.
■ Intro—This setting only makes sense if you connect the 
FBC-7’s MIDI OUT socket to the MIDI IN socket of an 
arranger module. In this case, the footswitch can be used 
to select the “Intro” pattern of the active Music Style.
Note: Arranger instruments of other manufacturers may not 
understand this message. If in doubt, see their MIDI implemen-
tation section for details. The MIDI message transmitted by this 
footswitch is PC83 (program change) on MIDI channel 10.
■ Fill Up—This setting only makes sense if you connect the 
FBC-7’s MIDI OUT socket to the MIDI IN socket of an 
arranger module. In this case, the footswitch can be used 
to select a fill-in pattern of the active Music Style that 
selects a more richly orchestrated accompaniment pattern 
upon completion. 
Depending on the arranger instrument you’re controlling, 
you could use this footswitch up to three times to jump to 
the most complex level. If you then press the footswitch 
again, however, nothing happens. You thus cannot cycle 
back to the lowest level (which is called “Original” on older 
Roland arranger instruments).
Note: Some arranger instruments provide only two accompa-
niment levels.
Note: Arranger instruments of other manufacturers may not 
understand this message. The MIDI message transmitted by 
this footswitch is PC81 (program change) on MIDI channel 10.
■ Fill Down—This setting only makes sense if you connect 
the FBC-7’s MIDI OUT socket to the MIDI IN socket of an 
arranger module. In this case, the footswitch can be used 
to select a fill-in pattern of the active Music Style that 
selects a more scarcely orchestrated accompaniment pat-
tern upon completion. 
Certain arranger instruments provide four accompaniment 
levels, so that you could use this footswitch up to three 
times to return to the most fundamental level (please see 
the manual of the arranger instrument you’re controlling 
to find out how many levels it provides). If you then press 
the footswitch again, however, nothing happens. You thus 
cannot cycle back to the highest level (which is called 
“Variation” on older Roland arranger instruments).
Note: Some arranger instruments provide only two accompa-
niment levels.
Note: Arranger instruments of other manufacturers may not 
understand this message. The MIDI message transmitted by 
this footswitch is PC82 (program change) on MIDI channel 10.
■ Ending—This setting only makes sense if you connect 
the FBC-7’s MIDI OUT socket to the MIDI IN socket of an 
arranger module. The footswitch can be used to select the 
“Ending” pattern of the active Music Style.
Note: Arranger instruments of other manufacturers may not 
understand this message. If in doubt, see their MIDI implemen-
tation section for details. The MIDI message transmitted by this 
footswitch is PC84 (program change) on MIDI channel 10.
■ Set 1~40—The selected footswitch can be used to recall 
the specified Set (i.e. the Set whose number you choose). 
Consider using “Set Up/Set Down” if you prefer to cycle 
through all available Sets.
■ Register 1~14—The footswitch can be used to recall the 
selected Treble register. That is why you must specify a 
number here. Consider using “Regist Up/Regist Dwn” if you 
prefer to cycle through all available registers.
(Default setting: 2 Bs Rows) This 
parameter allows you to specify 
the number of button rows for 
playing bass notes. The default 
is 2 bass rows and 4 chord rows. 
By selecting “3 Bs Rows”, you thus gain 20 bass buttons 
(an entire row) and lose the “dim” chord buttons – but 
that may just be more convenient for you. See also the 
illustration on page 70.
There are four “3 Bs Rows” options: “A-7th” and 
B-7th” mean that the 6th chord row plays seventh 
chords (“7”) that don’t contain the fifth. In the case of a 
C7 chord, you therefore hear C-E-B
b (but not the G). 
“A-7th” and “B-7th” differ in the arrangement of the 
bass notes (see the illustration on page 70).
The “Bx-7th” option reverses the “B-7th” settings (from 
right to left), so that the C3 note shifts from 9th to 
12th position.
Note: This shift does not apply to Free Bass mode, which is an 
altogether different mode.
The “A-5dim” and “B-5dim” options mean that those 
seventh chords don’t contain the root note. A C7 chord 
is then sounded with the notes E-G-B
b (but not the C). 
“A-5dim” and “B-5dim” differ in the arrangement of the 
bass notes (see the illustration on page 70).
Note: The FR-7/FR-5 is supplied with several reference caps 
designed to help you locate the bass and chord buttons without 
looking at them. See also page 23.
