Elevator Pitch

Partymaker: Accordion Synthesizer

Partymaker: Accordion Synthesizer is a set of electronics that adds synthesizer capabilities to the traditional acoustic accordion.

Product Description


How It’s Innovative

Partymaker: Accordion Synthesizer seamlessly integrates an advanced electronic synthesizer into the traditional accordion design. Unlike conventional digital accordions, it preserves the authentic acoustic feel and sound, ensuring that musicians can effortlessly transition between classic and contemporary tones.

Free from cables and external boxes, this system ensures that nothing will impede a musician’s performance excellence while maintaining the instrument’s original appearance and allowing for unrestricted movement on stage. Additionally, the system features built-in auto-accompaniment with support for various styles, enhancing the depth and versatility of any performance.

The system requires no external modules or cumbersome add-ons. It operates autonomously for up to 8 hours on a single charge, with the option of wireless audio transmission.

An optional digital microphone system further enhances versatility, allowing for precise control over sound capture and blending acoustic richness with electronic innovation.

Most Inspiring Use Cases

This innovation allows musicians to easily access a wide range of sounds and effects without extensive training or expensive external equipment. Additionally, the ability to blend acoustic and electronic elements offers possibilities for musical expression, encouraging experimentation and innovation in both composition and performance.

One of the most inspiring uses of Partymaker: Accordion Synthesizer lies in its ability to ignite a newfound interest among children in learning accordion. By adding a multitude of voices and auto-accompaniment features to the educational instrument, my system offers capabilities previously unavailable on traditional accordions. Consequently, accordionists gain access to a synthesizer with no less potential than that of a keyboardist. While the market offers numerous devices for keyboardists, generating significant interest in learning the keyboard, such options were previously not as readily accessible for accordionists.

Ultimately, this invention has the power to inspire a new generation of musicians to push the boundaries of what is possible in music, fostering a more inclusive and diverse musical landscape.

Expansion Plans

One potential avenue for expansion is the development of additional features and enhancements based on feedback from musicians and the evolving needs of the market. This could involve refining the existing functionality, adding new sound presets and effects. Furthermore, expanding the range of compatible instruments beyond accordions could broaden the product’s appeal to a wider audience of musicians, such as guitarists or wind musicians looking for innovative ways to enhance their performances.

Collaborating with music education institutions to incorporate Partymaker: Accordion Synthesizer into their curricula could also open up new opportunities for growth and adoption among students and educators alike.

Currently, my main technical focus is on researching new types of sound synthesizers and improving microphone effects and audio processing.

Commercialization

A comprehensive set of documentation for both system installers and end users has been developed and is ready to use.

The installation of the system on various models of accordions requires specialized expertise typically found in accordion workshops, along with some electronics knowledge. Establishing partnerships with these workshops could facilitate the commercialization process, ensuring that the system is integrated into different accordion types while maintaining the highest engineering standards.

Several installation kits have been sent to an accordion workshop for further testing and feedback collection from both installers and musicians. Additional devices, such as button sensor testers, have also been developed and included as part of the installation kit to aid the installation process.

I’m looking forward to the feedback and discussing a commercialization model.
