I had not noticed the sort of digital buzziness to the tone (most noticeable when playing multiple octave voices together, voices of the same octave doesn't matter much), until one of the dancers mentioned "what's up with all these digital accordions? I hate the sound. It's rough on my ears." And after that, I started hearing it.

==doesn;t make sense really
you didn;t hear it at first in quiet and home
now this dancer heard it in some noisy place over a PA while dancing?

==i;d have to hear it to know what it was

==possibly also PA operation was a factor also>?


==i;d guess it was more of an " that accordion sound you picked, sounds weird to me"


==more than ''every sound out of that box is "buzzy" because i happen to have noticed it was digital''



So, once before I had gone on the hunt to find something to tame the piezo sound of an electric fiddle I have, and chanced upon a compressor/sustain pedal that helped a little, though I never bought that and went another route instead.

But, the sustain idea stayed with me. What better way to smooth out a sawtooth wave form but with a bit of sustain.

==now you are redesigning the waveform>?




The other pedal I got for evaluation is the "Philosophers Tone" pedal, by Pigtronic.

This actually accomplishes the job a bit, though have to watch too much compression making the notes too staccato in some instances. And also emphasizing the digital flapper noise a bit too much when no note is playing, making it sound like a loud pop.

==compressors are very hard to set up right, even if you know what you want

==interesting problem, but i can;t help without hearing
