- I have a few accordians too! Not midi'd however. I was going to invent
- a midi accordian a few years ago but it sounds like someone beat me to the
- punch. And so it goes...
- With my Korg i4s, I often use a Yamaha G10 midi guitar. The EC5 foot
- controller along with the midi guitar, allows me to control the entire set
- without having to fiddle with the keyboard controls at all. In fact I often
- setup the keyboard behind me (once even completely off-stage) then do a
- complete live performance standing down front, holding just the midi guitar.
- It's pretty impresssive when I kick in 1000 watts of a "Mick & Keith"
- variation holding just the guitar.
- Anyway, I agree with Mark, the main thing is to map out what your
- accordian is sending out and on which midi channels. I would start with KB1,
- no layers or splits and simply change its midi channel (in Global) until I
- found the one the bass keys activate, because that is where I would want my
- chord changes to originate. The chord keys on your accordian may be set too
- high to generate "chord changes" on the i5 without having to mess around with
- split-point location, etc. This shouldn't take you very long, there are only
- sixteen possibilities. If your accordian doesn't send out midi from the bass
- keys (I sincerely hope this is not the case) then you do the same thing with
- the chord keys making sure this time that you set your split-point far up the
- scale on the i5, C8 or C9, to ensure that the i5 is scanning for chord
- changes in the range your accordian is sending.
-
- A few questions: Does your accordian have actual reeds or is it
- entirely electronic with only a midi synth inside? And where can I get one?
