Will the Roland usb Bluetooth dongle work to trans mit sound to my wireless headphones? I also will likely get the CME midi Bluetooth connector. It’s my understanding that it might work just plugging one piece into the midi out port on the bottom of the accordion.
Also, can someone explain briefly the main difference between 3x and 4x (both piano accordions) as regards Bluetooth and midi.
Thanks!!
 
the usb port handles computer type data

the MIDI port on the bottom transmits or receives MIDI data

the round 1/4" outputs transmit analog audio (sound)
left/right/headphones

i don't believe either Roland has Bluetooth, but separate bluetooth'
devices that are useful have been discussed by people here
so you can look those up and learn which ones work and what
others have successfully used them for

if you want to send the sound wirelessly, you plug something
into one of the audio outputs that takes the place of a wire
and sends the sound to a matched receiver that has
headphones/pa system whatever attached to reproduce the sound

...besides, BT has horrible latency that at this time makes it useless. CME is working on wireless BT, but it's not out yet.
 
Something to look at…latency is low…I purchased a different variant of this product, but use it to connect Bose L1 Pro to another speaker. A low cost unit, many others are priced considerably higher.

Interesting! I have a Boss WL-20 for my mandolin, and I've wanted to try it on accordion. But my accordion has a stereo jack, and the Boss adapter only works with mono. So this looks interesting.

This is for ear monitoring only, headphone jack.
WL-20 is different, it connects to amp, line level output, either left or right mono jack like on FR4x.

Yes, I understood that :) At the moment my Guerrini doesn't have any microphone system, so a device which has stereo and not on the congested 2.4GHz wi-fi band is of interest. Sadly, the 5.8GHz the Sweetwater device uses looks to be illegal in the UK, so I'd need something different.
