I have for sale here an ORLA XM 45 Accordion Module plus accessories.

Whats included:

Orla XM 45 Accordion Module

Original owners manual with some handwritten notes in it.

Original Orla softside case for the unit

Power Cord

Two-pedal Foot Switch

Single Pedal Volume Control

Various connection cables

Also another box that was an interface between his concertina and the Orla XM 45. I believe this is a Castelfidardo unit but I cannot be sure, it does read Master Concert on the box.



PLEASE NOTE PICTURE 5- The slider lever for the Poly 1 Volume Control is BROKEN OFF. This control still functions properly but you need a ball point pen, or paper clip, or similar to adjust it unless you have long fingernails.



What is NOT INCLUDED:

Any pickup/microphone parts that would be installed on or in the accordion or concertina are NOT INCLUDED.

Technical Support is NOT INCLUDED

I don't have any expertise in connecting this to a instrument of any kind.



I can verify that the ORLA unit works perfectly. The interface "Master Concert" unit was working up until my dad passed away but I cannot test this other than to say it powers up and never had any problems.



This will be very well packed and will arrive undamaged.



I am happy to try to answer any questions you may have!



The following information was found online:



The Orla expander offers the following: 3 polyphonic sections, 1 drawbar flutes section, 2 monophonic sections, 7 programmable overall presets, 60 rhythms with 2 variations, 32 drum instruments, melody chord sequencer, programmable arrangements, digital reverb, midi in/out - through and stereo outputs.



Flutes: there are 9 adjustable footage drawbars, 4 programmable custom flute settings. Percussion: there are 3 footages. There is flute sustain with variable amount settings. There are tremolo and chorus effects which can be assigned to an optional footswitch. For the solo section which is played in monophonic mode it is possible to combine monophonic and polyphonic settings to play chords with the right hand with the highest note as monophonic but missed from the polyphonic sequence.



The glide setting can also be applied using an optional pedal. There are polyphonic presets, polyphonic chorus, polyphonic sustain (variable amount). With OMC when you play a chord with the left hand a complete chord is added to the right hand (this is a fabulous effect which enables the simulation of multi players from one instrument – my favourite feature). This setting can be used for close harmony or open harmony configuration. With polyphonic 1, polyphonic 2 or flute settings. You can also play using the duet setting which adds a second note to the right hand. Polyphonic 2 presets give further sounds. Polyphonic chorus gives a fuller sound. Polyphonic 2 sustain can be set at varying levels. DCS allows a second polyphonic sound to the chord section. There are a number of sounds available as bass presets.



Bass sustain is available with varying levels. Pedal sustain can be assigned to optional pedals. Fade allows sounds to fade out. A digital reverb is also available. The rhythm section includes start / stop, auto start, intro / ending, fill in drum kit, tempo, track 1, track2, auto bass, auto chord, memory, left volume. Transpose, pitch, octave settings are also available.



This is a summary of some of the main features of the Orla expander which gives thousands of combinations and was built especially for the accordion. We find it gives a very full sound and we love the musette settings, the automatic harmony additions and especially the spacious sounds. We also find this unit very easy to use and yet all sections are easily controllable. There are a number of slider volume controls on the unit in order to get the balances right for the different sections.
