You can add sounds using a sampler and midi sound module.

It is true that there is no DIRECT way to add your own sounds to the FR-18, but it can still be done.

If you are adept at such things, you can create your own samples of an internally mic'ed Cajun accordion, and then load them into a midi sound module. Connect the FR-18 to the sound module via a midi cable and voila!

Yes, it's probably a lot of work to do it well. And yes, the midi sound module is just one more piece of gear to haul around and set up. The point is, that it can in fact be done if you had enough determination to do it. I am not one of those people myself.

I don't know if Roland could be persuaded to take any action themselves. It is possible. I sent them a suggestion and I was pleased to see that they added that feature to the software update. It was a pretty obvious suggestion, and I don't know that they were influenced by what I said or not.

i am not that determined

yep
i am not that determined

you would be using the accordion as nothing more than a midi controller at that point, also

plus i might also want "air miked cajun accordion" too while i was at it

also, if you just sampled output of a C accordion, it might sound weird when you changed pitch to Gb..

i think that 'sampling sounds' step is in reality a lot of work

Re: Where can I purchase a 'Cajun Style Accordion' that can play in ALL keys?

Yes. I've been building one en cachette, that is actually has 11 buttons (so does not meet your specs), plays in all keys except Fb and E#, with bases to match. Treble has HiLo LoHi rows. Patent pending

Are we forgetting "just" tuning.

The "Cajun" sound is primarily from the "just" tuning and then 4 reeds.

By "Cajun" style.. do you mean single row 10 buttons ?

How about a dry tuned 2 row box in B/C or C#/D . Theoretically can play in all 12 keys. Practically can be played in a few.

You may have a problem with your patent. See link #2.

I just sold one on my local Craigslist.

I got it at a local estate sale. The family said that it was used only once by a now deceased player. The weight killed him...
