F10 Accordion Mode: This enables or disables the use of the parameters for the MIDI Accordion.

SAVING THE PARAMETERS FOR THE MIDI ACCORDION

Thanks to the Power On Set-up function all the settings of the parameters described can be saved, which will be called up automatically when
the SD1 is turned on. To enable this procedure, press the SAVE/ENTER push button and then select F3 Power On Set-up. Press F10 Save to
save the settings in Flash RAM. Further details on Power On Set-up are given in the dedicated section.

THE MIDI PARAMETERS FOR THE ACCORDION

When the Accordion is enabled using F10 Active, the SD1 calls up the MIDI Accordion 1 set-up to attribute the MIDI channels to the keyboad sec-
tions in MIDI reception. The MIDI Accordion 1 set-up is that most frequently used with most MIDI accordions. The attribution of the MIDI recep-
tion channels can be modified in menu F6 MIDI that is accessed from the main page of the display and then using F2 Channel Receive.
You will see that, when the Accordion mode is enabled, the MIDI Set-up in F10 is Accordion 1. To modify the settings of the single sections,
move onto one of them using the CURSOR +/- push buttons and then enter the MIDI channel using the VALUE +/- push buttons. The main sec-
tions involved with the MIDI Accordion are:
Right Channel: This is the setting of the MIDI receiving channel for the part played with the right hand, namely the lead.
Left Channel: This is the setting of the MIDI receiving channel for the part played with the left hand, namely the left section of the SD1
dedicated to the acknowledgement of the chords for the Arranger.
Bass Channel: This is the setting of the MIDI receiving channel for the manual bass section.
Drum Channel: This is the setting of the MIDI receiving channel used to play the percussion timbres when the Left Drum mode is enabled.
To save the settings, press the SAVE/ENTER push button and then F10 Save. Further details are given in the MIDI section.

A GUIDE TO THE QUICK CONNECTION OF A MIDI ACCORDION

Connect the MIDI cable to the MIDI Out of the Accordion and the MIDI In 2 of the SD1.
Call up the F3 Utility menu from the main page of the display and then press F6 Accordion and then F10 to set the parameter on Active.
If the sections of the Accordion (Right, Lower and Chords) do not play correctly, exit using the EXIT push button, press F6 MIDI and then F2
Channel Receive to set the match between the MIDI channel of the Accordion sections with those of the SD1 using the CURSOR +/- and VALUE
+/- push buttons. If the settings have been modified, save them using the SAVE/ENTER push button then F10 Save, in the Accordion 1 set-up,
which is called up each time the Accordion mode is enabled.
Ketron SD1 is provided with two MIDI set-ups for Accordions. Accordion 1 is dedicated to the use of the Accordion with the SD1 Arranger and
Accordion 2 controls all sixteen MIDI parts of the SD1.
The settings of the Accordion menu in the Utility menu can be saved in a Registration.
To enable the manual bass, press the MANUAL BASS push button (the LED lights up).
Remember that most problems relating to a MIDI Accordion depend on the settings of the MIDI transmitting channels on the MIDI Accordion. If
various MIDI instruments are used and connected to the Accordion, it is preferable to modify the MIDI set-up of the SD1 rather than to re-pro-
gram the Accordion to match the MIDI set-ups of the SD1.
