*** NEW in this arranger software version ***: Now you can additionally use a lot (not all) of "Yamaha" standard style files (*.STY)! This files are not included but can easily be found in the world wide web!See a short video here: "youtube Accompanist Walter Schurter"Let you accompany automatically (more than 100 MIDI style files included) by pressing a chord key on the bass side of the accordion or play the chords with an external MIDI keyboard (MIDI interface or ev. camera kit for USB-devices required).Chromatic Accordion (buttons or 88 piano keys!) "C-System", "B-System", "Free bass mode", "Quint converter" (only iPad's), "Drum mode", MIDI file player/recorder. Bayan not included.Some user comments:Even better! * * * * *von n9yty - Version - 1.1.3 - Nov 21, 2014So, this update took a great app and added the B-griff or B-system layout for no extra charge.AAccompanist * * * * *von Rgk45 - Version - 1.0.3 - Nov 10, 2014What a marvelous app!! Wow!!! I am absolutely pleased.Klasse App * * * * *von Uwerrr - Version - 2.1.1 - Feb 7, 2015Macht groen Spass. Bin total Begeistert. Danke"Auto Accompanist" includes all features of the popular "AccordionPlus" (see details there), but has amazing additional functionalities. No external sound module is required (General MIDI sounds are included).See video here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Em5TNB89GzcYou get best results with Apple devices having min. Apple A6 processor, connected to a stereo equipment (earphone, not "lightning" connector). Don't use Bluetooth (to much delay time)!Set the chord recognition split point (left/right hand) for the external keyboard in "Settings". For MIDI Out, set MIDI Thru to "ON".The included styles (e.g. Tango) are based on simple MIDI files which you can produce yourself with a sequencer program or e.g. with "Band-in-a-Box" (PG Music Inc.). You can use the included two sample files to create new styles.The MIDI files must comply with the fellowing (channel numeration is 0-15, not 1-16):- 2 bars drum intro (for synchronization)- 4 bars accompaniment- 1 or more bars ending- Channel 9 (10) for drums- Channel 10 (11) for bass- Channels 11 to 15 (12 to 16) accompaniment- MIDI events for instrument, volume, reverb, chorus and left/right must be present, if you will save changes- Tempo information- For a "Cmaj" based MIDI file, name it *_Cmaj.mid - For a "Cmaj7" based MIDI file, name it *_Cmaj7.mid (e.g. "Tango_Cmaj7.mid")- The MIDI file must be a "Type 0" file (single track).If you are not able to make a "Type 0" MIDI file, send me the file, I convert it for you.Changes that you make on existing styles (tempo, instrument, volume, reverb, not master volume) can be saved in a new MIDI file.If you need help to create a MIDI file for accompaniment, please contact me.As the MIDI files for accompaniment are recorded in "Cmaj" or "Cmaj7", it is possible, that not all 32 detected chords sound as you like it (optimized for the accordion, maj, min, 7 and 7dim). Send me the new accompaniment MIDI files, thanks.Tips:- When you hold down the button "A" and then press "B", then the bars are played alternately (each combination is possible, except "End"). This may be useful for waltz styles like "LUCILLE" to hear the alternating bass.- You should always press a new chord a little time before the end of the bar to make sound the new chord correctly from beginning.- MIDI data from the played style are sent to "MIDI out", when "MIDI Thru" is ON. Known problems: - In iOS > 6 there is a function called "Multitasking ...". Please set the switch to OFF (only iPads, Settings, General). Otherwise playing with multiple fingers does not work correctly!- No sound: Is the silent switch set to OFF or volume too low?- About 20 seconds after starting for the first time the accompaniment you can hear some tempo irregularities or strange sound effects. I could not find the reason, may be it is an iOS problem.
