Related: I made https://www.keyboardaccordion.com to be able to play the accordion layout (chromatic and diatonic) with a computer keyboard. (Desktop only, of course.)

This is a fantastic idea! I had no trouble playing scales along the row.

Is the source code available? As a C#/D player, I find the relationships between the rows unfriendly, and miss the bottom two buttons of the row. Plus I'd love to have real accordion sound samples, and maybe MIDI output...

(ooo, plus I guess if you only wanted two rows of right hand notes, then you could have two rows of bass buttons, just like a real box only with a lot more chords available...)

Yep, the source is on GitHub! Yeah, I didn’t set up any but the standard Hohner tunings, but any would be easy to implement.
Geez, was the "open source" link there all along and I just missed it? Thank you!!
