Hi Guys,
First post, so please be gentle...
I have a Roland FR4X and a Roland BK7M (band in a box) that "plays along with me" - driven by the bass+chords etc - which I have to say I thoroughly enjoy, but unfortunately to the detriment of my acoustic accordions, which sadly are not getting played much at the moment. At some stage, because of the amount of technology on the FR4X, I dread the day that it develops a fault. Honestly, who of us over the age of 60 REALLY trusts modern technology?.
So I have started to think about adding treble and bass microphones together with midi out from the bass (only) to my acoustic accordion.
I don't want the acoustic accordion to generate non-accordion sounds etc, so I don't want an ugly midi control panel on the acoustic accordion, just the line out and midi out ports at the base of the accordion.
Also, I am looking for something with internal (to the accordion) rechargeable batteries etc that would drive the electronics etc.
Is this achievable? or am I imagining something that doesn't exist?
