FR-7/FR-5 V-Accordion
Note: When you set the “12.2 Ext. Seq. Playback” parameter to
“On”, the FR-7/FR-5’s registers no longer transmit the sound
selection clusters you have programmed here. Instead, they
transmit their “Std” values. This will return to normal operation
when you set “12.2 Ext. Seq. Playback” back to “Off”.

■Volume
(Off, 0~127, Default setting: 100) This parameter
allows you to specify the volume value (CC07) the
register should send to an external device whenever
you press it. That way, the MIDI instrument you are
controlling is automatically set to the desired level.
Remember that selecting “0” silences the receiving
MIDI instrument. Select “Off” if the register should
not transmit this message. Note that the FR-7/FR-5
does not execute this message if it is returned to the
FR-7/FR-5 via the external device’s “Soft Thru” func-
tion.

■Panpot
(Off, 0~127, Default setting: 64) This parameter
allows you to specify the Pan value (CC10) the regis-
ter should send to an external device whenever you
press it. That way, the MIDI instrument you are con-
trolling automatically selects the desired stereo posi-
tion. “0” correspond to hard left, “64” to dead center,
and “127” to hard right. Note that the FR-7/FR-5
does not execute this message if it is returned to the
FR-7/FR-5 via the external device’s “Soft Thru” func-
tion. Select “Off” if the register should not transmit

■Reverb
(Off, 0~127, Default setting: 40) This parameter
allows you to specify the Reverb Send Level value
(CC91) the register should send to an external device
whenever you press it. Selecting “0” will set the
receiving MIDI instrument to “dry” (no reverb), while
“127” represents the maximum Reverb Send level.
Select “Off” if the register should not transmit this
message.

Note: If there is no audible change, you may have to check the
reverb effect settings on the receiving MIDI instrument.

if they do, they may not support this control change number
(this is especially true of older instruments).

■Chorus
(Off, 0~127, Default setting: 0) This parameter allows
you to specify the Chorus Send Level value (CC93) the
register should send to an external device whenever
you press it. “0” will set the receiving MIDI instrument
to “dry” (no chorus), while “127” represents the maxi-
mum Chorus Send level. Select “Off” if the register

■Velocity
(On, 1~127) Your FR-7/FR-5 is velocity sensitive. That
is a very learned term for the fact that the volume
and brightness of the notes you play on the Treble or
Bass keyboard depend on how hard (or fast) you
press the keys/buttons. The accordion sounds do not
respond to these playing dynamics, but the Orchestra
(Treble, Bass, Chord, Free Bass) sounds do and so do
most MIDI-compatible sound modules.

Even though the MIDI standard recognizes 128 dif-
ferent velocity values, only 127 can actually be used
for expression purposes. That explains why the set-
ting range is 1~127. Value “0” is usually used to sig-
nal the end of a note (i.e. when you release a key or
button).

This parameter allows you to specify whether the
velocity values corresponding to the strength with
which you press a key/button should be transmitted
(“On”) or whether your playing dynamics should not
be translated as such.

In the latter case, you need to select a value (1~127)
that will be applied to all notes that are transmitted
via MIDI. “64” is still relatively soft. Even lower values
are probably not what you want in most cases. Fixed
velocity values can be useful for playing organ
sounds on an external module.

Note that the setting you select here has no effect
when the “Note” parameter is set to “Off”, because
note numbers are always transmitted along with a
velocity value (any value different from “0” also
means “start playing this note”). Sending only a
velocity value without specifying the note to which it
applies doesn’t make sense.

■Expression
(Off, Bellows, Pedal) You probably noticed that the
strength/speed with which the bellows is pressed or
pulled influences the sound – which corresponds to
an acoustic accordion’s response.

This effect can be translated into a MIDI message
most external instruments understand. The MIDI
standard provides a message (“control change”) for
remotely controlling the volume of an external
instrument: CC11. It is chiefly used for expression
purposes (similar to the way in which a guitarist or
organ player uses a volume pedal).

often), select “Off”.

If you purchased an optional EV-5 expression pedal,
which you connected to the FBC-7’s EXPRESSION
PEDAL socket, you can also control the relative vol-
ume by foot. In that case, set this parameter to
“Pedal”.
