[@j.e.wgreve1535]

Have you posted it anywhere? Please let us know where to find the info.

[@gulejtetjana5791]

I I’m interested, is it still available?

[@misaelurena1607]

hi where can i get one?

[@DavidBostock-ti2fv]

FIRST LEARN TO SIGHT READ PROFICIENTLY see phone app Clefs ( set input as scrollable keyboard ) also use other free version phone apps for their rhythm practice. or music "theory" information. Become familiar with interval and chord terms. Music is taught backwards, it's like primary reader Dick Jane Spot is dropped on your desk in kindergarten and then in 3rd grade they they introduce you to the alphabet. Load up on free versions of music Phone apps, especially sight reading at first, and set input to scrollable keyboard that was developed from 12 TET that Music Grand Staff was also developed from. Music "Theory" is 99.44% 12 Tone Equal Temperament a very useful popular music system, a compromise from Just Intonation system that inspires it, not a "theory". No language is a "theory" they are all systems.

if you can use it as a midi controller how many notes do you get? whats the range there are 128 midi notes?

[@j.e.wgreve1535]

Does it come programmed with the traditional vallenato and merengue tuning and layouts as well?

[@lesteraizlewood8457]

Do Roland make a stradella bass to make it a B C C# for Scottish music?

[@chriswalsh4553]

I just got one, awesome accordion and i have been playing the diatonic Accordion for a number of years.. I normally play jigs and Reels waltz and polka...How can i set it up for when i do a key change it will go to that style of Accordion? there is just a couple of styles i really like.. Thanks

[@aagevaksdal]

Can it be programmed to chromatic accordion griffs?

[@benrozencranz3087]

Does it transpose ?

[@JuanDeSedasMusic]

is this accordion for sale?

[@DavidBostock-ti2fv]

I have never known of these. When I have looked at web page it was for the small button V "accordion" For marketing I suppose people have to live with "accordion". For a user THESE ARE A SYNTHESIZER in accordion format. Music "theory" isn't a theory it is 12 Tone Equal Temperament a very useful convenient music system, but a compromise from a Just Intonation system that inspires it. English isn't a "theory" German isn't a "theory" 12 TET isn't a "theory"

Hi, does it need to pull or push Bellow in order to make it sound?

[@angelortizoviedo1638]

Así es, exactamente como un acordeón normal, de hecho se puede ajustar la sensibilidad del fuelle, saludos

[@jerzyboy24music]

I want to get one

[@luisvasquez5577]

Other features I like also are capabilities of wireless through rechargeable batteries (I wonder where I could get them), Or wireless Microphones or Bluetooth. Also that left board has 18 buttons instead of 12. I have not tried other tablatures besides the standard viena tablature pre loaded. I understand it had means to make user tablature (which would be very interesting). Also that you can assign any sound from a bank sound of a connected cellphone, tablet, lap top or keyboard and you can practice in silence with earphones. Is wireless earphone feasible? (How?)

[@tomakad]

You probably need a bluetooth transmitter for that.

[@edanderson-u3n]

Let’s. Hear it

[@edanderson-u3n]

Stop talking

[@l.p.1602]

Thank your for the informative video. Can you tune the rows semitones apart? Like B/C/C# ?

[@michelmailhiot4848]

Yes, you can édit to your need every buttons

[@mateolozada6227]

That’s cool, they don’t sell them anymore?

[@systemsless]

They discontinued them

[@systemsless]

No the whole v accordion line but the diatonic one, yes

[@chrissalazar7650]

@@systemsless i wonder why

[@systemsless]

@@chrissalazar7650 people who use diatonic accordions general seem to stick to tradition sadly

[@omareverson9209]

@@systemsless I also think a majority of the people who play diatonics just didn't know of it

Leave in the shop.

👎👎👎👎Ummmm...The Roland V accordions available now are chromatic (each button plays the same note on push and pull). NOT diatonic (Different note on push/pull for each button). VERY disapointing this year old video ad is advertsing a producty discontinued years ago. And isn't even close to providing correct technical information. 👎👎👎👎
