ALPIN MASTER 128 BANK 32
Page 9
ALPINE MASTER 128 offers a selection of German folk music sounds from the TRADITION Exclusive 200 sound board.
Info: Bass Bank 32
The bass programs on BANK 32 are special versions specifically for accordion players. The program symbol C/Cis means that the
lowest note C36 (36 is the key number) will automatically play one octave higher. Es/E means that all notes lower than E will play
one octave higher. By simply selecting a program number, you can set how low the bass should be. The setting is purely a matter
of personal taste, key and your own style.
Accordion and diatonic harmonica mechanics allow play within one octave. The range between low C and B (notes 36-47) has
become the standard range for MIDI. However, the C-B range is rarely playable on natural bass instruments. The lowest note on
four-string e-bass guitars and contrabass is E.
* NOTE This program does not react to velocity in the normal sense for MIDI accordions specifically. The sound will not be louder
or softer when you play with velocity by pressing the key faster or slower. Use the VEL value to select the samples in exactly the
dynamic range that you want. Use the bellows dynamic to play louder or softer. In other words, you can play “piano” samples
loudly if you so choose.
