Hello,
I'm trying to make a Diatonic (button) Accordion. Is there a way to substitute the MIDI keyboard with something with buttons like a computer keyboard or Adruino? Any help would be appreciated.
Thanks.
Hello,
Any midi input will do, keyboards are just the most common.
Arduino is a good solution for your goal. Many examples of Arduino-midi projects available, even specialized accordeon ones.
You may run into some complexities since left and right hand of accordeon can have different sounds. These can be solved once/if they occur in your case.

Awesome! Sounds like I have to get creative. I’ll post some updates, if I find a way to make it work. Thanks.
Glad to help.
Once you run mentioned complexities, don't hesitate to post.
I made a fork: see homspace-xs4all-nl/homspace/samplerbox (replace "-" with ".").
In here I want extend some features to have good accordeon support as well.
A new release is coming, but current one (summer last year) might give you an idea too.
I'm particularly interested in setting up the left hand (chords and triads), because being a drummer I get lost in theory :-)
You might contact me via my site as well.
Just out of interest - would a USB QWERTY-keyboard work with SamplerBox, or does it need to be a MIDI input device? Thanks
