DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF INVENTION

(32) An embodiment of present invention will be described in detail below with reference drawings. FIG. 2 illustrates a perspective view of an accordion 1000. The accordion has a right hand play side 100, a left hand play side 200, and a bellow 300.

(33) The accordion 1000 is a music instrument that is played by compressing or expanding the bellow 300 while pressing buttons or keys in the right hand play side 100 and/or the left hand play side 200. The bellow 300 allows air to flow across strips of brass or steel, call reeds, which vibrate to produce sound inside the body.

(34) The right hand play side 100 is used a musical keyboard similar to a piano-style keyboard and/or an organ-style keyboard by compressing or expanding the bellow 300 while pressing button or keys in the right hand play side 100. The right hand play side 100 is normally used for playing the melody. Some use a button layout arranged in one way or another, while others use the piano-style keyboard and/or the organ-style keyboard. Each system has different claimed benefits by those who prefer it.

(35) The left hand play side 200 includes buttons or keys in the left hand play side 200. The left hand play side 200 is normally used for playing the accompaniment. These almost always use distinct bass buttons and often have buttons with concavities or studs to help an accordionist navigate the layout despite not being able to see the buttons while playing.

(36) FIG. 3 illustrates a perspective view of the right hand play side 100. As shown in the drawing, the right hand play side 100 according to the embodiment includes a musical keyboard similar to a piano-style keyboard and/or an organstyle keyboard, and speaker 110.

(37) The speaker 110 is a channel for a sound by compressing or expanding the bellow 300 while pressing button or keys in the right 100 and/or left hand play side 200.

(38) FIG. 4 illustrates a perspective view of the left hand play side 200. As shown in the drawing, the left hand play side 200 according to the embodiment includes buttons or keys in the left hand play side 200, and a strap 202.

(39) The strap 202 is a leather strap on the left-hand manual to keep an accordionist's hand in position while drawing the bellows 300. The strap 202 makes it easier to balance the weight and increase bellows 300 control while sitting, and avoid dropping the instrument while standing.

(40) FIG. 5 illustrates an exploded perspective view of a functional equation. As shown in the drawing, the functional equation according to the embodiment includes a function to explain a method of this invention.

(41) The functional equation is based on a clock that has a cycle and 12 numbers. The 12 numbers start from 1 to 12. Arrangements of the 12 numbers are clockwise. The 12 numbers are arranged inside the circle.

(42) The functional equation has notes on the outside of the cycle. A first row outside of the cycle shows the 12 notes which are C note key (C chromatic Scale) in FIG. 5. The chromatic Scale has 12 notes, and uses every half-tone/semitone position. The C chromatic Scale as an example is C, C#, D, D#, E, F, F#, G, G#, A, A# and B. The arrangement of C chromatic Scale starts on the C note at a number 12 position. The direction of the C chromatic Scale is clockwise. Thus, a second note is a C# note at a number 1 position, a third note is a D note at a number 2 position, . . . a last note is a B note at a number 11 position. When the direction is reached one around or one loop, it will be counted as one octave.

(43) The functional equation has a last explanation on the outside of the cycle. A second row outside of the cycle shows an X function. The X function has a method for arranging 12 notes. A direction of X function is clockwise by X, X+1, X+2, X+3, X+4, X+5, X+6, X+7, X+8, X+9, X+10 and X+11. The X is a starting note. The starting note X can be any note of this position.

The details of assigning a plurality of pitches to the buttons of left hand play side by the Software 2300, 3200, or 6100 is similar as the one performed by the CPU (controller) 2200 or 3200 as described above.

(199) When a button of the electronic accordion 2000, 3000, or 5000 is pushed by the accordionist, the CPU 2200, 3200, or the PC 6000 (the Software 2300, 3200, or 6100) determines which button is pushed, and determines a pitch corresponding to the pushed button according to a sound table. The sound table is stored in a memory of the electronic accordion 2000, 3000, or the PC 6000. The sound table specifies a relationship between a location of each button of the electronic accordion 2000, 3000, or 5000 and each pitch. The relationship between the location of each button of the electronic accordion 2000, 3000, or 5000 and each pitch is as shown in FIGS. 18 to 31. The CPU 2200, 3200, or the PC 6000 (the Software 2300, 3200, or 6100) reads out a sound signal corresponding to the pitch determined by the CPU 2200, 3200, or the PC 6000 (the Software 2300, 3200, or 6100) from a sound source (for example, MIDI). Then the CPU 2200, 3200, or the PC 6000 (the Software 2300, 3200, or 6100) outputs the sound signal read from the sound source to the speaker 2400, 3300, or the amplifier 6200. As a result a sound corresponding to the sound signal is played through the speaker 2400, 3300, or the amplifier 6200.
