Configuration of Korg 05/rw module to piano accordion .

Post by Mockie »

Hello
Can anyone help me on connecting my accordion with MASTER midi to a Korg 05R/W Module.
I want to have electric bass and piano chords on left-hand, I want to use it for Irish and Scottish dance music.
I have the manual PDF format for model.

Thanks Frank

If the accordion MIDI system has been set up to transmit on the "industry standard" MIDI channels, then it will be necessary on the 05R/W to find a suitable Combi, or create a new or modify an existing one, that has the desired bass, and piano sounds in separate timbre slots. Then use the menus on the 05R/W to assign MIDI channel 3 for the bass timbre, and channel 2 for the piano timbre. You might wish to assign strings to MIDI channel 1 so the treble keys activate those. If necessary, also set the Transpose for each timbre, so the notes played correspond to expectations. Connect the accordion MIDI out to the 05R/W MIDI in. The volume of each timbre can be controlled using the Level settings in the menus on the 05R/W.
