Matrix IV 47

RIGHT HAND

47 notes from D#2 to C#8

- Register 16 with 47 notes extension from D#2 to C#6
- Register 8 chamber with 47 notes extension from D#3 to C#7
- Register 8’ out chamber with 47 notes extension from D#3 to C#7
- Register 4 with 47 notes extension from D#4 to C#8

These 4 voices develop the 15 traditional registers for classical accordion:
| 16 | 16+8 | 16+8+8’ | 16+8+4 | 16+8’ | 16+4 | 16+8’+4 | 16+8+8’+4 | 8+8’+4 | 8’+4 | 8+8’ | 8+4 | 8’ | 8 | 4 |

Unlike other accordions in the Matrix it is possible to add registers in union by taking them from the reeds that are arranged in the reed-blocks of the left manual:
- Register 32 with 47 notes extension from D#1 to C#5
- Register 16 with 47 notes extension from D#2 to C#6
- Register 8 with 47 notes extension from D#3 to C#7
- 2nd register with 47 notes extension from D#4 to C#8
- 5th+ register with 47 notes extension from A#3 to G#7
- 5th- register with 47 notes extension from A#2 to G#6
- 3rd register with 43 notes extension from G#4 to C#8

Thanks to the unions, hundreds of new combinations of unusual accordion sounds are possible, programmable on the accordion in 60 registers divided into 4 banks of 15.
It is also possible to divide the keyboard into two parts that have two different registers (splits). To do this, it is necessary to create a register that contains at least one voice of the right hand and at least one of the left hand, the split point can be made in any desired right hand key.

LEFT HAND VERSION E 96:

59 notes from E1 to C#8
3 voices 8,8,2
- Register 8 with 59 notes extension from E1 to D6
- Register 8 with 59 notes extension from E1 to D6
- Register 2 with 58 notes extension from E3 to C#8

These 3 voices can be mixed with each other as well as with the right hand. We have at our disposal 4 banks of 14 registers each (7 for standard basses and 7 for free basses), making a total of 28 standard bass registers and 28 free bass registers.

Given that it is possible to assign the desired note(s) or chord(s) to each individual key in the left-hand manual, it is easy to see that we can programme any number of registers and systems of standard and free basses we wish: chromatic free basses with the C I, C III system, for V°, standard basses with the lowest note starting from E or G, from A and also from C etc. As well as, the possibility of inventing new systems or solutions.

The valves that blow out the sound of the left-hand reeds, unlike the mechanical ones on the right hand, are electronically controlled. If we press the button lightly we will get the minimum volume of the reed sound, while if we press it harder we will get the maximum volume, all of which can be further managed by pressing the bellows. Unlike a normal accordion where this minimum volume point is not possible to obtain by playing fast, in the Matrix we can either manage it manually as in a normal accordion or we can program it, i.e. we can tell it in a given register to open the valve at minimum volume even if we press the button all the way down, in this way it is possible to make fast passages at low volume. For standard basses we can also choose whether we want flat chords and loud basses or vice versa.

All these options must be programmed in advance thanks to a special App. inserted in the tablet that comes with the instrument: we can program all the register changes of the song or songs to be played in chronological order and advance them with a button of the chin register or with the pedalboard connected via Bluetooth to the instrument, thus allowing the musician to change without having to remember and search for the register position to be selected and without ever taking his hands off the instrument.

The pedalboard is equipped with a second element that has the function of 'sustain'. If one or more keys of the left manual are pressed at the same time as the right pedal, the reeds concerned will continue to play after we release the key, allowing the musician to play other melodies over the sustained notes. Releasing the pedal will cause the valves to close and stop playing.

The pedalboard is connected via cable to a visualiser which is in turn connected via Bluetooth to the accordion, the latter provides the accordionist with all useful information regarding the modes, banks, and registers selected, of the left and right hand.

LEFT HAND VERSION E 86:

The left hand can also have a second version called E-86, with which we obtain a deep note extension up to C1. In this case, we obtain the following composition:

59 notes from MI1 to C#8 (with the possibility of using C1, C#1, D1, D#1 as pedal notes)
3 voices 8,4,2
- Register 8 with 59 notes extension from E1 to D6
- Register 4 with 59 notes extension from E2 to D7
- Register 2 with 58 notes extension from E3 to C#8

64 notes from E1 to C#8
- Register 16 with 64 notes extension from E1 to G6
- Register 8 chamber with 64 notes extension from E2 to G7
- Register 8’ out chamber with 64 notes extension from E2 to G7
- Register 4 with 58 notes extension from E3 to C#8

Unlike other accordions, in the Matrix, it is possible to add registers in union by taking them from the reeds arranged in the reed-blocks of the left manual:
- 16’ register with 64 notes extension from E1 to G6
- 8’ register with 64 notes extension from E2 to G7
- 4’ register with 58 notes extension from E3 to C#8
- 2nd register with 46 notes extension from E4 to C#8
- 5th+ register with 51 notes extension from B3 to C#8
- 5th register- with 63 notes extension from B2 to C#8
