It does not have an internal mic'ed zydeco sound, but somebody could create one and load it into the accordion. They don't go into the details in any depth, but I assume that you would use a sampler and create a multi-sample, like you would on a sampling keyboard.

==really.. you couldn;t do that with the
original chromatics



The way you cut the bass reed off is more or less the same as on a normal triple row. There are 5 register switches on the front, and each has two settings. So, that is 8 different sounds, and the differences have to do with which reeds are turned on or off. In addition to that, there are 12 "accordion sets", which are the fundamental sampled sounds of real accordions that the thing is based on. So, you select an accordion set first, and then select one of the 8 sounds within that set. There is also a setting where you can change the amount of mussette by 15 steps. They don't say how each of the steps relates to a number of cents, unfortunately.

==is there a setting that at least
sounds like a regular cajun accordion?


You can also change the keyboard layout to be anything you want, including changing just a single button. The way you do that is that you download an app onto your PC or Mac, change the note assignments, load the result into a thumb drive, attach the thumb drive to the accordion and off you go. You can change the bass side this way too.

==ok
i have read that so i believe it
even though you couldn;t do that
on the original chromatics either

[[if you could have, you could have
made it into a diatonic - though
roland claims the pressure sensor
in the chromatics does not
distinguish 'in' from 'out'
which i find hard to believe
maybe its firmware doesn;t but a
pressure sensor should go + and - ]]



I have not tried it yet, but I see no reason why you couldn't set this thing up to be a three row diatonic.


==you mean chromatic


For that matter, you could set it up with both C system and B system.

==yes but the more common chromatic is 5 row, as you know :)
