I tried to recreate the classic sound of the "musette" accordion with a little detuning between the various reeds and enhancing the bass sound (lacking original sampling) with the help of a baritone sax, which being a reed instrument has a very similar. On slider 5 there is a chorus and on 6 there is a reverber. Have a good fun Lupin .aac gipsy musette_1.aac

Hey guys, I´d like to share one of my Accordion Hex Layer Sounds. It is a French Style or German Polka Musette Sound. It is based on MZ-X500 internal Samples. Layer 1+2 - Sample No. 144 - French Accordion, detuned and paned Layer 3 - Sample No. 151 - Bandoneon - to put some sharp edges on top. - - Use Slider 3 Layer 4+5 - Square Waves, detuned, envelope detuned and paned - to give more fat to the sound Layer 6 - Sample No. 309 - Pipe Lead - just to add some dust in the Background Put some Reverb to it - I prefer a small room, with some pre delay Put some Delay to it - I prefer a short stereo one Feel free to use and have fun.

This Stage Setting attempts to improve upon the standard accordion tones that come with the PX5S. The underlying tone is a two-layer hex layer with the waves being the bandoneon samples. The knob/slider/modulation/pedal settings control the same functions as the ConcertGrand setting except: Knob 1 controls layer detuning so that you can increase the "musette" or "wet" effect of the sound as it is commonly referred to in accordion lingo. (* See further note on this below) The Mod Wheel adds tremolo as opposed to vibrato to better simulate what happens on the accordion when the bellows are manipulated to provide some modulation to a sustained sound...usually through a hand shaking motion. All-in-all it is just not possible to incorporate all of the physical attributes of playing a real accordion into any tone or Stage Setting on the PX5S (or any other electronic keyboard I have played except the Roland V-Accordion of course), Nonetheless, I am hoping some of you can "squeeze" something useful out of this...(ugh...). * For some reason, the Bandoneon waves seems to be sharp a fair amount so you will note if you dissect the tone settings, that I made a fine tuning adjustment. That may be a result of the detuning effect in the base waves themselves. When you detune the layers further with a Knob 1 adjustment, your ears may perceive the sound to be sharpening further. If you plan to use a detuned level more often, I would go in and further adjust the fine tune level...unless of course you like that bit of dissonance.
