Since a portion of you Hate everything no matter what I say, Here's a New one to Hate:

Nothing to hate here. That guitar sound is lovely, and the song is played just like it should! (The base is a bit overpowering and easily clips, but that's nitpicking.)

I checked the online owner's manual today and it says the default layout for the Free Bass is Fifth (Quint), but you can choose from a total of five free bass modes - Minor 3rd, Bajan, Fifth, Nord Europe, Finnish.
Works for me
I edited the link this morning
That’s what happens when you get so talented, both the lovers and the haters find you. Nobody hates me.
. Hope you can ignore them and have big fun. I think it sounds great, carry on!Alan Sharkis

I have the manual now. BTW, It's really well-written and laid out -- better, IMHO, than the Roland manuals and covers all models; current and planned. AND, it came out by the end of this week, as promised.
Low bar, this. Just saying. Still good to hear.
That is great! I downloaded the manual. The Compact model (button accordion) has the right dimensions. (The big one that is shown in all demos is really too large for a button accordion.) It becomes tempting!

I suppose everyone has their own idea of compact, but I don't see much difference. According to the manual, the "C" button version is only about 6% smaller in size and 7% less in weight. It has a less powerful amplifier, and they've removed the aftertouch and the master control bar features. No complaints about keeping most of the features, but why bother producing a compact model that is only slightly more compact? I was hoping for something smaller.

What is most important in the compact is the "width", which is actually what most accordion companies call "length", it is the length of the keyboard side. 469mm is about the standard length for a full size bayan. When you are playing this dimension is the height from where the accordion sits on your legs to the top, which in order to be comfortable should be well below your chin (especially on accordions with chin switches). When you see piano accordion players who are not very tall play a piano accordion with extended (45 or 47 key) keyboard you immediately get what I mean. Button accordions tend to be more compact on the keyboard side and the 500mm of the non-compact Suprema is really abnormal for a button accordion. 469mm (47cm) is normal. So yes, these 3cm make all the difference.I suppose everyone has their own idea of compact, but I don't see much difference.

I understand, but this sounds to me like the larger one is a design failure, being 3cm too wide. So they corrected this with the slightly smaller "compact" version. These are both 120 bass size, not what most people would consider compact, which would be a 96 or 72 bass.
It's more or less the same as what Roland did. The FR8x had the same keyboard length on the CBA and the Fr4x (also 120 bass) the same keyboard length as the Korg "compact". History repeats itself.
...both a manual for the clavier manual as well as a manual for the button manual, to labour a point - manual labour, that is.

Very, very impressive indeed, from a strictly amateur viewpoint, - but it still sounds like an electronic instrument, of course.
Even listening via utoob's compressions, iMac computor and high end studio speakers which all distort the original, it seems to still lack the complexity of direct acoustic sound as heard via the same sound muddying equipment.
I seem to have developed a 'thing' about this in much the same way as I prefer young red wines for their freshness and untamed animals for their simple honesty.
Getting more simple myself with advanced age as well
