Dear Mr. Dale Mathis
I ordered the Roland FRX1 from Kirsten Musik Haus a few months ago. I always watched your videos and was impressed. But what I didn't know was that it didn't sound like the ones you have on your devices... I thought it already had sounds like that. Now I've heard it from your videos and I'm so disappointed, can you help me somehow... it's also very quiet, the problem is I can't speak English.

Lieber Herr Dale Mathis
Ich habe mir vor einigen Monaten das Roland FRX1 bei Kirsten Musik Haus bestellt. Hatte mir immer ihre Videos angeschaut; und war begeistert. Aber was ich nicht wuśste das es nicht so klingt wie sie es bei ihren Geräten haben…. habe gedacht würde solche Klänge schon besitzen. Jetzt habe ich es durch ihren Videos mit bekommen und bin sowas von entäuscht, , Können sie mir irgendwie helfen…… es ist auch sehr leise, das Problem ist ich kann kein Englisch.

I get similar requests like this one on a regular basis. The only folks I work with are those who have purchased their accordion from Kraft Music in Milwaukee, Wisconsin. Dale Mathis does not sell software as a separate item.

Dale Mathis says, "Playing accordion is better than fish oil pills for your brain!"
Adapted from a January 30, 2017 article in the Penn Medicine News
Playing an instrument (your accordion) may be one of the best ways to help keep the brain healthy. “It engages every major part of the central nervous system,” said John Dani, PhD, chair of Neuroscience at Penn’s Perelman School of Medicine, tapping into both the right and left sides of the brain. For example, playing the (accordion) – which requires the right hand to do something different than the left-- uses the peripheral nervous system, which controls movement of your fingers, as well as gross and fine motor skills. The brain’s executive function – which plans and makes decisions – comes into play as a musician plays one part but keeps focus on what’s coming next. Couple that with the total sensory input – visual, auditory, emotional and all at the same time – and it becomes a total “workout” for the brain. “Recent studies suggest that music may be a uniquely good form of exercising your brain,” he said. “Fun can also be good for you.”
And the best news: While learning to play an instrument as a child provides life-long benefits to the brain, taking music lessons (or continuing to play your accordion) in your 60s – or older – can boost your brain’s health as well, helping to decrease loss of memory and cognitive function. Results from a study of people who started to play piano (or accordion) between the ages of 60 and 85 noted that “after six months, those who had received piano lessons showed more robust gains in memory, verbal fluency, the speed at which they processed information, planning ability, and other cognitive functions, as compared with those who had not received lessons.” So it’s never too late.
