A One And A Two...

Now I think I may have seen it all — Roland is now building, of all things, a digital accordion.

Roland is pleased to introduce another milestone in digital musical instrument history —the V-Accordion. Models FR-7 and FR-5 are the first instruments of their type to successfully integrate powerful digital technology such as new Physical Behavior Modeling (PBM) into a traditional accordion design, offering performance features and authentic sounds that appeal to a wide range of musical styles.

Wide range of musical styles, they say. Right. I suppose one good thing about it is that you can change its voice so it doesn’t sound like an accordion.

I don't see why it needs the bellows. Moving air seems distinctly analog. But while on the subject, how about a digital Les Paul - http://www.gibsonmagic.com/digitalguitar.html

Bellows are what give you control over the dynamics. Play a chord and you can swell it, and make it die away again. Try doing that on a piano! :-)
