IDI Accordions
The SD5 can be managed by an Accordion connected via MIDI, thanks to the fact
that the attribution of the MIDI channels to the single parts of the keyboard, the
bass transposition, the velocity and also the use of the bass voices can be con-
trolled. The controls directly depend on the
MIDI implementation of the Accordion therefore, for very simple MIDI accordions
some of the functions described hereafter may not be available.
CONNECTING A MIDI ACCORDION
The MIDI Out Output of the MIDI Accordion should be connected using a MIDI cable
to the MIDI 2 In input (Keyboard) of the SD5. Enable the Accordion mode on the
SD5.
ENABLING THE ACCORDION AND ITS PARAMETERS
The parameters for the MIDI Accordion are accessed, from the main page of the display, by pressing FF33 U
Uttiilliittyy and, from the first page of the
U
Uttiilliittyy menu, by pressing FF11 A
Accccoorrdd. A new page of dedicated parameters opens. When the Accordion is connected, the Accordion mode is
enabled by pressing F10, which from the disabled mode (denoted by Inactive), becomes enabled (denoted by Active). To disable the Accordion
mode, press the F10 push button again. The Accordion mode calls up a number of MIDI settings that can however be modified as desired.
The following parameters are available in the Utility Accordion menu:

other.
