Howdy folks! I got my FR 4x a few days ago and have been trying to get used to it. Slowly, I think I'm starting to make progress. Lots of things that I hadn't expected to have to get used to, key action (much, much stiffer than any accordion I've played before), huge amount of effort with bellows to drive the sound, etc
However, one that is really taking forever is the huge amount of sounds available and slowly working through each of the sets. I am kinda wondering if folks might have some favorites they can recommend. The button accordion played in this Dervish recording is kinda my goal for a general accordion sound: It's very wet by not dissonant. Also, I'm guessing it would be considered a musette since I don't hear anything more than a single octave. I'm up to set 24 or or something and so far, the musettes and accordion/masters are either too dry or too dissonant to suit my target sound. I've got tons more to go through and I do have Richard Noel's sets as well.
Also, what do you typically do with reverb chorus? I've been fiddling with changing those up and haven't quite settled on whether I prefer them on/off/type of setting...
