Hi!

Here’s my problem and a wish for it to be solved.

I have a midi accordion whit which I trigger Audya sounds.
Midi accordion transmits on three midi channels (ch1 for right hand keyboard, Ch2 for chords, ch3 for bass).
I don't trigger styles, only sounds. For that purpose I set a PROGRAM with three sounds (accordion, guitar and bass sound). In Audya MIDI settings (MENUE-MIDI-ChRx-VOICE) I set the three voices to receive on channels 1,2 and 3.
When I plug the midi accordion into midi input IN2 and call the correct PROGRAM everything works OK.
So far so good.
Now the first problem - starting to play the Audya itself, the bass sound and some other chords are very silent; this problem is known to me from SD1 already, when the bellows is closed, the Expression controller is low and that means low volume.
On SD1 I just pulled the midi cable out and the volume was back. With Audya nothing restores the volume back and I have to reset it.

And the second problem - when I play Audya itself first and then plug the midi accordion cable in and set the prepared PROGRAM, the triggered sounds, their volumes and pitches are not correct and nothing except reset can restore it.

So I always have to reset when I change between Audya and midi accordion.

As mentioned SD1 handles different midi signal sources OK.

I hope AJ and Ketron specialists will find time to deal with this issue. In Frankfurt exhibition I saw an Audya demonstrator who used the same midi accordion controller that I use (Totter Midi) so hopefully
Ketron will be able to check the behavior with the same equipment.

In the meantime all other suggestions are greatly appreciated - maybe it is possible to reset only MIDI settings and not entire Audya or something like that.

Best regards,
Luka

Hello!

No comments so far, I guess there's not many accordion players with similar problem.

It is very inconvenient to reset Audya after each usage of accordion especially knowing Ketron did an excellent job with SD1 in this respect.

I hope for AJ to find some time and investigate this issue. I believe some kind of midi reset would help when changing registrations.

With no info about possible solution of this problem I will have to ask my local distributor for help which means sending Audya to Ketron and staying a long time without keyboard.

I have started looking into this.

What accordion are you using?

Thanks,

AJ

Thanks, AJ!
I use accordion with Totter midi controller installed.
Ketron used this setup in Frankfurt exhibition.
