the sounds and the respective set dynamics value:

Some useful tips for the accordionist

1. Connect the midi cable to the Midi In 2 socket.

2. Activate the Accordion menu

3. If the accordion sections (Right, Bass and chords) fail to play correctly, make sure that the

midi channels have been set correctly.

4. If the setting of the Channel Receive is modified, save the new setting as Accordion 1. This ope-

ration is used to automatically call-up the new Midi setting when the Accordion menu is activated.

5. There are two Midi Set-ups reserved to the accordionist, namely Accordion 1 and Accordion 2.

6. Accordion 1 is advisable when automatic styles are used or when a manual accompanimentis played.

7. Accordion 2 is advisable when classic songs are played. In fact, it is thus possible to control

all 16 parts of the Midi In 2 from the accordion.

8. The Accordion menu may be saved in Registration.

9. To set the bass in Manual mode, activate the MANUAL function using the appropriate key.
