As I described in the video, the orchestral sounds that these user sets provide are organized with "Song Orchestration" in mind. That is, they are organized such that you can more conveniently choose different versions of a particular instrument. For example, you can conveniently compare two or three different saxophone sounds to determine which one is most appropriate for playing a particular part of a song. One song part might demand a mellow sounding alto sax, another a more harsh baritone. Using different sax sounds for different parts within the same song is a trick that keyboard players have been using for years to make their music sound more authentic. You choose. You, after all, are the musician. It's your job to decide what sounds you will use to play each part of your various songs.

The idea is for you to configure the FR-1x's single User Program Bank to represent the orchestration of a single song of up to 8 parts. To accomplish that you save to each User Program Location Button within the FR-1x's single User Program Bank whatever sound and features you wish to use for that corresponding part of the song performance. When completed your song orchestration needs to be saved to USB flash drive for convenient recall on an as needed basis during your onstage performances. You can build up a complete library of song performances.

This more modern approach to playing an electronic instrument relieves you of the effort of having to remember what instrument sounds you want to use for each part of your many different song performances, as well as where those instrument sounds are located on your instrument. It also allows you to make certain orchestral changes that would otherwise be impossible to accomplish while playing onstage. When the audience compares two musicians having equal playing skill, one using a properly prepared multi part orchestration and the other choosing his orchestral variety interactively, on the fly, while playing, the audience will always prefer the properly prepared, multi part orchestration. Glenn Miller proved that many years ago.

Basically, you decide in your music studio which instrument sounds to use when playing each part of your song, and then from that point on your instrument remembers everything necessary to play the complete performance, and not just the starting point, it remembers everything. You are now relieved from having to think about certain things while playing different songs onstage, things like: "What instrument sound should I use now?", and worse, "Where is that particular sound located on my instrument?" All you need to do is load the song from the USB flash drive, and then activate whatever User Program Location Button represents the corresponding parts of your song. Typically Location 1A will represent Part #1. If your orchestration has only 4 parts, you can use User Program Locations 1A, 2A, 3A, and 4A. If you have more than 4 parts, you'll have to make use of the "B" locations. The FR-1x is capable of playing an 8 part orchestration of any song.

We at Roxy's wish you success with this playing technique on your FR-1x.
