[. . . ] If the provided plug does not fit into your outlet, consult an electrician for replacement of the obsolete outlet. Protect the power cord from being walked on or pinched particularly at plugs, convenience receptacles, and the point where they exit from the apparatus. Unplug this apparatus during lightning storms or when unused for long periods of time. Servicing is required when the apparatus has been damaged in any way, such as power-supply cord or plug is damaged, liquid has been spilled or objects have fallen into the apparatus, the apparatus has been exposed to rain or moisture, does not operate normally, or has been dropped. For the CODE. [. . . ] It is therefore on this page that you specify whether the sounds you selected above will be used. · If necessary, press the [DATA÷ENTER] knob to select the "FOOT" parameter, then rotate the [DATA÷ENTER] knob to select the reed you wish to assign another sound to. The options are: ALL, 16, 8 · Press the [DATA÷ENTER] knob to select the "STATUS" parameter, then rotate the [DATA÷ENTER] knob to specify whether the selected reed should sound and which buttons can be used to play it. The STATUS options are: Off (no sound), Low (the lower half), High (upper half), Whole (all buttons). These options allow you to program what keyboard players would call a "split". You can create several nifty combinations, like "High" for 8' and "Low" for 16' (or vice versa) or "Whole" for 16' (all buttons) and "High" for 8' (only the upper three rows). Note: Assigning the same partial STATUS ("High" or "Low") to both reeds is a bit odd, because it leaves you with only half the number of active bass buttons. But it is possible. . . Note: Whenever you select "ALL" for "4. 1 Reed Type" and set a different reed type, this noise setting is automatically adapted to the reed type. It would therefore be a good idea to first select the reed type and only then change the noise type. 4. 5 Reed Growl This parameter allows you to simulate the typical noise a bass reed makes just before it stops vibrating altogether. Each instrument of the accordion family produces its own typical growl. The growl that matches the sound selected with "4. 1 Reed Type" probably yields the most realistic effect ­ but feel free to select another one if you like it better. · If necessary, press the [DATA÷ENTER] knob to select the "TYPE" parameter, then rotate the [DATA÷ENTER] knob to select one of the available instrument types: Bandoneon, I-Folk, I-Folk2, Classic, Cajun, Jazz, F-Folk, D-Folk, Organetto, F-Folk2, Classic2, Studio, Tradition, Steierische, Trikitixa · Press the [DATA÷ENTER] knob to select the "LEVEL" parameter, then rotate the [DATA÷ENTER] knob to set the volume of the Reed Growl parameter (­30~ "Std"~30). Note: Whenever you select "ALL" for "4. 1 Reed Type" and set a different reed type, this growl setting is automatically adapted to the reed type. Each acoustic instrument has a set range: it cannot sound notes below or above that range. A normally tuned 4-string bass guitar allows you to play a low E, but not the D below it, for instance: "YES" is selected by default. (If you don't, turn the [DATA÷ENTER] knob to select "NO", then press the [DATA÷ENTER] knob. ) Note: You can save your changes later using the WRITE function (see p. But be sure to do so before selecting another Set ­ and before switching the DEP-5/FR-5 off. Samples (PCM waveforms), on the other hand, can lower the pitch of a recorded sound almost indefinitely. The "Lowest Note" parameter allows you to specify the lowest pitch the sample can use. If you nevertheless play a lower note on the button keyboard, it will be sounded one octave above the corresponding pitch ­ and sound natural. Here is an example: If this is what you play on the button keyboard. . . To save your changes: (1) Press the [DATA÷ENTER] knob. Lowest Note= E (28) . . . these notes are transposed 1 octave up. (2) If necessary, select another Set than the one you are currently using. The display now briefly confirms that your settings have been stored: The Orchestra Bass sound therefore sometimes changes octaves. For some songs, the default setting (E 28) may yield odd results, especially if you need to play walking bass lines, etc. In that case, you can change the "Lowest Note" setting to achieve a satisfactory result.
