Example: To insert a space before the “s” in “Celeste” (creating the name “Cele ste”), position the cursor on the “s” and

hold down [UP] for a while.

Note: If the name already contains 8 characters (“Bandoneo”),

the last character is erased (example: “Band one”).

•To delete the character indicated by the cursor and move subsequent characters one position to the left, select it (example: “Celeste”) and press and hold [DOWN] (“Celete”).

2.1 Reed Type

This parameter allows you to do

	two things that are impossible
	with an acoustic accordion: you
	can (a) transform the selected
	register into a different instru-
r	ment and (b) assign different sounds to each footage
	the register plays.
	Note: Each FOOT can be assigned one TYPE (combinations like
	“16= Bandoneon, 16= TexMex, 16= Organetto” are impossible).
	A register, as you may know, may contain several reeds
	tuned to different pitches (“feet”), so that you hear the
	16’, 8’ and 4’ reeds when you select it, for example. The
	“Register” parameter below allows you to select the

desired footage(s). Here, you specify how each reed (that can be assigned to a register) should sound. This allows for complex combinations like the following:

Bandoneon Classic Cajun F-Folk Steierische TexMex Triktixa

<16> <8> <8–> <8+> <4> <5-1/3> <2-2/3>

We’ll let you decide whether such a combination really makes sense, but it is possible… For each of the 14 Tre- ble registers, that is.

•If necessary, press the [DATA÷ENTER] knob to select the “FOOT” parameter, then rotate the [DATA÷ENTER] knob to select the reed you wish to assign another sound to.

The options are: ALL, 16, 8, 8–, 8+, 4, 5-1/3, 2-2/3

•Press the [DATA÷ENTER] knob to select the “TYPE” parameter, then rotate the [DATA÷ENTER] knob to select a type (“instrument”).

The TYPE options are: Bandoneon, I-Folk, I-Folk2, Classic, Cajun, Jazz, F-Folk, D-Folk, Organetto, F-Folk2, Classic2, Studio, Tradition, Steierische, OldItaly, TexMex, Trikitixa.

To save time while changing the TYPE for one or sev- eral reeds, you could proceed as follows: suppose all reeds are currently set to the “wrong” TYPE and you want to use 16’, 8’ and 4’ as “Bandoneon”. In that case, set FOOT to “ALL” and TYPE to “Bandoneon”. Next, use STATUS on the “Register” page to switch off the reeds you do not need.

Note: Whenever you select “ALL” and set a different reed type, the “Valve Noise” setting is automatically adapted to the reed type you select here. You may have to change it afterwards if you wish to use a different noise type.
