the sound is really good~ "One man band"!! Seems the software is complicate to use?

@accordionlearner The software "One Man Band" was easy to install and operate. Of course you must understand the fundamentals of MIDI. Like any such installation, you must match the MIDI channels of your instrument with the software. There is an online user group where you can post questions. But for me this software is just for training. Once I am convinced that my setup works and I can play it, I intend to upgrade to vArranger2.

@grazamel Thank you Amelia.

@alainhammond Thank you Alain. You can of course produce videos of such performances by playing the accompaniment on your keyboards/organ and recording it separately, as I did in "Susy's Polka". But of course with your talent you can do a much better job.

Now you are heading in the right direction with auto-accompaniment, using an SD4 for it is so much better and more musically interesting than the previous one sans the SD4. Good job, nice recording. Keep it up.
