Help - Musitech-Q and a Roland BK7

[DrHeaven]

I've just taken delivery of a a new Beltuna Alpstar that has a Musictech-q-Select external box. The accordion plugs into it with a cable that looks more like a TV connector. I was told i would been an expander to produce a sound from the Musictech so I bought a secOnd hand Roland BK7 backing unit.. now I'm confused...

I don't understand how to program the Musictech box - and even I need to do so given that I have the Rroland bk7. 

 Sadly there'a no Youtube showing how it all hangs together... can any kind soul enlighten me? Rob H

How about some pics of the accordion and it's plugs and wires? I'd also highly recommend getting the user manual from Beltuna/Musictech so that you could at least map out what MIDI channels the following maps out to:
- Right hand
- Any Right hand MIDI orchestrations
- Left Bass
- Left Chords

Without this as some basic info it's about as hard to drive as a car without keys... possible, but you are going to need to start tearing things apart.

Whilst doubtlessly fascinating and rewarding for the persistent and determined, it would seem venturing into the realm of the electronic is not for the faint hearted and diffident, like myself! :-/

Obviously, not a case of just " plug in and go!"

I can report that I have got the rig to work! Its a case of ignore the Musitek box - just plug the accordion into it and then plug the musitek box by midi cable to the Roland BK7 arranger. - the Roland handles it all and there's no need to do anything at all to the musitek box - despite the lights and numbers...
