Not that it really makes a big difference to me, but I believe the lowest bass note is a "D". It also has hand made reeds with 22 individual and unique right hand registrations. It's a very unique accordion with great sound and versatility. I enjoy it a lot for many different genres of music. The Atlantic, Atlantic Musette and Atlantic Deluxe are all nice sounding accordions, I've played them many times! Thanks for posting! :)

Thank-you Ed!!

Mulțumesc pentru comentariul frumos!

Thank-you very much!

Thanks for posting! I don’t feel I am a great teacher, but I enjoy sharing!

Thak-you again!!!!

Thank-you for posting, much appreciated!

Thanks so much!!

Thank-you for posting!!

Thank-you fir posting! the 80's was indeed a good time for accordions, the push for electronic sounds was the start of what we see today. Yamaha nade some great sound modules and I still even have a Yamaha FB-01. I aksi have a couple of the older accordions with "vintage" electronic sounds and they still work well today, though sadly I can see a time when they will just stop working.

Hi there, thanks for takng the the to post! Yes, those are all my accordions, 14 to be exact... its more than most but less than some. :) I think you were asking me for a program to edit videos? My personal favorite is Davinci Resolve. Though I use the paid version, it comes in a free version too. As for some playing, I am fooling around on my Beltuna, I should have a nice tango soon!

I am going to be at the NEAC&M in may for Mother’s Day weekend and will likely bring my Roland FR-8X and Hohner Gola 459 for the event. :)

Very welcome! Wow, this video was made a while ago and maybe needs to be updated a little… maybe a future project!

Thanks for posting! I know they are pretty expensive, but Roland just announced a pretty serious price drop a couple of months ago, maybe it is now closer to being available for you?

Thanks! I do enjoy the making of these kinds of videos, they are my form of relaxation therapy, and if I help out one person, that’s just extra gravy for me. :)

Hi, thanks for posting! Realistically it is not possible to answer such a question completely for the simple reason that I do not know HOW you want to use your 4X with your arranger, but if all you want to do is use the arranger to follow your chord changes, set the arranger chords to listen (receive) on channel 3. For other functionality, you can refer to the appropriate free PDF manual from Roland on the 4X and see what channels to use. I hope that helps.

@@JerryPH Thank you for your response, Jerry. You make perfect sense in your answer regarding “how” I am using my arranger. I will spend time with it and the manual I have. I wish I had your technical expertise! Your videos are very informative and enjoyable to listen to. '

Thanks for the praise, but we all start from the same level and move in the direction our needs take us. Good luck! :)

Actually, I'd love the one with the real badger hair, but those are just SO EXPENSIVE! Thank-you Ed!!

Hi there, thanks for posting! With over 2800 views and no such comments before AND me listening to it on a pair of professional studio monitors at low and high volume levels, I hear no buzzing. I respectfully suggest you check your speakers?

Hi there, thank-you for posting! I go in to great detail in this video: ua-cam.com/video/nUON-oaTmI8/v-deo.htmlsi=3UviNXzcsb0JB5B_ << Enjoy!

Extra-light but practice to keep a gentle hand else it sounds "wrong"

Guido, thanks for taking the time to post, your kind words are appreciated, I hope to have another video out within a couple weeks!

Hi and thanks for taking the time to post, I appreciate it! Yes, I am rather disappointed in the Limex product from the sense that they have an incredible product, but not interested in supporting the North American market since the closing ofJohn's accordion service a few years ago. I have a Beltuna Leader V that I would like to have the Limex MIDI acoustic setup modified a little, but there is just no one around here to help me with this. Before purchasing the 8X, I would see if you can find one locally, either through an accordion club or at a friendly location that would let you try it. I love my 8X, but it's not for everyone... the keyboard is very deep and slow, there are limited places to get service from and they are complex as hell... but I would not sell mine for anything, it is just that much fun! Thanks for dropping by!

Thank-you for the kind words!

Thanks Paula, much appreciated cuz!

Thank-you for the comment and kind words!

Ahoj a dobri den!

Thank-you for the awesome post! This is a Czech polka that I heard as a child, and am making a couple more videos before I switch genre. If you liked this, more is coming!

My best friend in the world, thanks for posting!

Monst definitely, and this place is magic to visit!

Thanks so much for your kind comments and for watching, also good luck with your playing… 30 hours a week… wow, that is incredible!!

@@JerryPH I could play music 6 hours a day almost with no break!!! It was very special time and lot of joy with people from many countries of the world.

Thank-you, I like the Limex, but sadly their support in Canada is very weak.

@@JerryPH Yes, I know! I am in Germany and have Limex in few instruments and can contact best experts. But now I retired and do not use it. But for 10 years often played over 30 Hours per week in the Saison. And enjoyed it. Sometimes 1.000 people a Day came.

They are! Thanks for posting!

Yes that is exactly the issue, a firmware update will address this issue for you. Merci d’avoir pris le temps de demander!

Thanks for posting! Perhaps you could experiment with changing MIDI channels?

@@JerryPH. Jerry. Thanks for idea of trying different channel but sure how to do that. I did support from midi jack folks but they couldn’t fix it. So I’m back to using midi cable. Wish I could go wireless. I’ll look into changing channels.

Thanks for taking the time to reply, but the person that I initially made this video for had no problems following along successfully. At what point did you have difficulties, I would like to see if I could help.

Hi there, thanks for posting... unfortunately no this is nothing related to MIDI, but DATA transfer from the V-accordion to the Roland EDITOR application. That said what you are looking to do on an 8X is simply connect a MIDI cable to an adapter that goes from MIDI to USB and connect that to your computer and capture that data using a music application, for example, REAPER.

Thanks for the kind words, much appreciated!!

Hi thanks for posting. First, you need *2* WIDI master kits. The in and out go in to both the ins and outs on the EVO and the BK. The reason for that is that the wire from the MIDI IN powers the MIDI OUT side, so you need BOTH, same rule for the EVO. After that, turn on the BK, wait a few seconds, then turn on the 8X and watch the BK connect as the MIDI connection is made.

thanks once again.@@JerryPH

I think that the reason they do it that way is that the vast majority of users have a MIDI in-out jacks. The FR-4x and lower don’t, so hence the need for external power. That said, an enterprising person could likely build something that couple place the WIDI inside the accordion and also power it using the internal power… but that’s a bit beyond me. :)

@@JerryPH now according to the people who make Widi the fr-4x will put out power when in normal midi out mode. I have a zivic puc+ that powers on 2 aa batteried but 1 its bulky and 2 it seems to have stopped working since i last uded it. I need to get one of the usb powered widi jacks or whwtever they are called anyway for my ewi usb, i wold hwve just not to hwve tge extra weught. Although i could always attach the bsttery ypto my belt.

Right, but the 4x has only 1 MIDI jack, so it is in OR out so functionality is cut a bit because the power is turned on when you use the MIDI in, the direction that is the least used generally speaking. As for the battery, depends on how long you need it to last. External batteries will last a lot longer, especially of you gig a lot, a small $5 Walmart external battery will last 2-3 full days powering WIDI adapter.

@@JerryPH thanks Jerry. So if I have this right,what your saying is that when the midi is switched to out on the 4x it does not output any power from the eon connector, but when it is switched to in, it outputs power. That’s very strange as it’s normally the reverse on midi equipment with the out sending the power. While on the subject of power do you know anything about the Roland cube street ex. I wanted to power mine from an external power pack, but I can’t for the life of me find the right connector to make up a lead. I emailed Roland customer support years ago to see if they would sell m a connector but they never replied. My old cube street has a normal input jack and I can power that fine. At the moment I have a couple of battery casings for the ex that I can swap at will, but I would much prefer to use a power pack. I might need up butchering my mains power supply for the jack, as I only power on batteries, if I’m playing indoors I usually use a separate PA system.

Hi there, thanks for posting! I'm pretty sure that the EVO could be made to work with the BK-7m, as they are very close. I would first try the V-accordion setting exactly as above, and then if it doesn't work, I would research what channels the EVO uses and just match them up in the BK-7m and save that settings. The BK should be flexible enough to accommodate any possible differences.

Thanks. I'll give it a shot. Keep up the great work. @@JerryPH

Hi Emile, thanks for reaching out. It is very hard to troubleshoot such an issue over the internet, but I have a few suggestions: - Please make sure you have a good battery. Sometimes even new batteries have issues. - You can try to do a backup of your setup and then do a factory reset and restore your settings to see if that helps - you may ultimately need to reach out to a Roland authorized repair center if nothing else is working. Good luck!

Hello Jerry. Thanks again for your help and concern about my problem. The battery is brand new and I loaded it carefully according to the manual instructions. I measured the tension from the adapter=> says 24V, which is correct. Tension from the battery reads 25.2V, which is correct, too. I first try that factory reset. I must say i'm a bit scared at the result and the perspect of losing everything, even though I've made all the necessary backups, but you never can tell. Electronics is such a mysterious science sometimes. If I don't get the expected result, I'll eventually get in touch with a Roland authorized repair center. Thanks again for all.

Hi Jerry. This is Emile again. I did what you said, i.e. I did a full factory reset and restored my settings. Surprisingly enough, when I turned on the accordion on the battery it started!!! But after a first reload, I got the same problem as before. Could not start the accordion on the battery. I had first to connect it to an AC plug. It's like having a brand new car but still having to carry the crank around, just to start it. It drives me crazy. Hope a Roland authorrized repair center will be able to solve the problem.

Hi, thanks for commenting! I used the Roland BK-7m for the rhythms.

@@JerryPH Now BK-7m is discontinued, I suppose...It is not possible to get it

Actually if you are in the V-Accordion groups or Roland groups they still come up for sale fairly often. Not manufactured anymore does not mean not available! I found mine just by chance locally in a box for Sony Bluetooth stereo in a 2nd-hand store for quite a good price!

@@JerryPH any more question. . Because the FR 8X has a USB port you can put a back accompaniment, in this case, it would be unnecessary the BK-7m. What do you think about this?

Hi... to answer the question, I have to explain the reason for the USB port. The USB port of the accordion sends NO SOUNDS, but sends the MIDI control to define each chord. The USB sends the signal to the USB input on the BK-7x and the sound exits the BK-7m via it's analog sound outputs. Since there is no analog sound input on the 8X, the answer to your question is no, this is not possible. That said, a FR-4x does have an audio input, so if that is what you need, that is the model to go for.

Hi there, I don't understand the question... I *was* playing the accordion completely on both left and right hands. Were you commenting on the backing track (rhythm) that I added? Thanks so much for taking the time to post, you are appreciated!

@@JerryPH Sorry, but it sounds like keyboard automatic music. I love the pure accordion sound, or played together in a band.

@@musikstudiosing That is totally fine, but this is how I enjoyed making this video... if it is not to your liking, there are millions of other videos you may watch... not everyone has the same taste, and I sincerely do not expect every one to share my tastes. Again, thank-you for sharing your opinion. :)

Thank-you very much!

Well thank-you very much!!

Thank-you! It's a dream to play for sure!

Thanks so much!!

Tony... thank-you!!
