If you use an expander for your accordion, can you tell me which one and what you can do with it.
Thank you.
Thank you.

Hello lovers of good music! I have been a member of this great site for quite some time now, but I have never been on the forum before. So, as requested, I introduce myself to you: My name is Gérard (nickname: gege_musette), I am an accordionist in Belgium (Tournai area) and I play on an acoustic accordion. I'm considering to buy a Ketron SD40 expander (or other) but I'm not sure it could be 100% usefull for me, so I'm going to post today a topic to explain my motivations in the category : "chromatic accordion". Thank you all for welcoming me and maybe helping me in my choice.

Good evening
The OMB software developed by Jos MAAS allows you to play all the STYles of the world.
STY files are all available on the internet and produce
very nice rhythms depending on the chord played.
It is cheaper than the product under consideration .

Welcome to the forum Gérard ! You will appreciate the dedication of both the Members and the Administrators of P.À who are all great.As for your search for an arranger, I bought the bk7m from Roland in addition to my tyros. It is very well designed and very easy to use. For my part, it is coupled with my Digit air millénium Cava. For small performances it suits me. well musically Excellent day Musette27

Hello "musette27"" and thank you for your welcome message.yes, I know the BK-7m from Roland which seems to have softer and more mellow rhythms than the Ketron which are rather percussive and aggressive but unfortunately, it is no longer available in Belgium!!! Moreover, the Roland is much less expensive.again thank you and well musically.gege_musette

Indeed I was disappointed by Ketron (old styles for my taste) or the purchase of a tyros for the ball. It's true that the bk7m is no longer sold in France. It seems that Roland should release a new module but I do not know more. To be continued! Excellent afternoon. Musette27

Rebonjour,It is indeed also the noise which I heard here in Belgium about the BK-7m, namely that it would be soon replaced by a new model! I think I'll wait. Good Sunday.
Hello everyone,
I would like to have some information that I have not found anywhere on the midi system. I know that it can be installed on an acoustic accordion, in order to continue to play without being connected to an arranger or expander and to keep his accordion without having to buy another one.
I would like to know how much it would cost to install this device on my Fun star 120, and is it a danger for the accordion, and who should I contact for this manipulation, and finally, how much does the midi cost in total (arranger, midi device,...)?
I thank you in advance and wish you a pleasant day.

Hello Leo,
The technique for MIDI on the acoustic accordion is not "open", it remains quite rare today except for a few professionals and it is quite expensive.
Cavagnolo has made a big leap forward with their new digital Digit Pro or simple model. They also do mixed acoustic/digital or all digital modification from an acoustic.
Good research

Thanks to you for the information, I have also inquired (below is a part of the email from Limex):
"The installation of the LIMEX system on your HOHNER accordion is not a problem.
You don't lose any register of your accordion, of course a cut-off register is a plus. There is no risk for your accordion, the acoustic sound is not changed.
LIMEX offers several solutions. Prices vary from 1250€ for the basic system to 3525€ for a complete system transforming your acoustic accordion into a real digital accordion, with the addition of microphones (also possible without microphones)
Digital has never been so easily accessible at a lower cost. "Good evening Leo

Here you are with a price range which seems to me correct.
It is true that the MIDI and now the digital of modern times embellish the game, it also opens new repertoire.
The cost is decreasing, but for good stuff you still have to pay the price. There is no mystery about it, quality has a price. Then the options (Microphone, HF etc..) must be able to be added later.
A good system to be able to make evolve its instrument with time and the means.
Hoping that your pleasure is at the rendezvous,
Good evening
