"Midi" socket change?

[Ventura]

yes, some devices use channel 2 for chords and channel 3 for bass,
others switch the channels to 3 and 2

many MIDI devices also transmit treble on channel 4
so that you can control multiple modules in different ways,
just as the Roland has orchestral voices on channel 4

there are 16 midi channels.. 10 is usually used for drums/kits

Wow, that's always a good sign. I know my Iorio electronic accordion needs some electrical work, but that one is so old that I am not really motivated in dropping money on it. My Elkavox, on the other hand, still works 100%, and that is one that I would invest money in, if it ever needs it.

Good luck with it, post pics and videos when you can.

I Loved my Elkavox 83 never let me down in 20plus years of gigging ................rock sold and reliable
It's making music some where in scotland with my much loved Technics SMAC1200 accomps module complete withe all my brilliant technics style disk ....................it was a sad day when the owners in Japan decided to pull the plug on the Technics range !!

 

[Ventura]

the module never made it to the states because the plug was pulled
here first.. they could have taken over the market their stuff was that
good, but the Music "market" was a blip on their radar for the effort
it took

Strange how, as soon as you commit something to type, the solution hits you in the face
I was looking on youtube for a different reason regarding the BK7 when it suddenly occurred to me that the BK7 was set to power up using Roland settings.
I started it up, went into the Wizard, then selected Accordion2 setting.
It asks you to hit a RH note, left hand Bass note then left hand chord note.
It then configures it and Voila, all behaving properly. Duh!!

I’m happy you got it all worked out! Good luck with it.
