Upgrade from at least one Single Accordion (Engine 2 or Engine Player) to Accordions 2 - Collection

Accordions 2 - Collection for the Engine Player combines all previous instruments in a modern, fully updated version, including the brand-new Folk Melodeon. With improved performance, direct control, and Eduardo Tarilonte’s unmistakable sound, this edition brings the accordion experience to a new level.

The largest virtual accordion collection

Since its beginnings, Tarilonte’s Accordions has been the benchmark for realism, expression and musical depth. With this new edition, the instrument reaches a new dimension: all previous accordions have been carefully refined and expanded with the brand-new Folk Melodeon - a traditional diatonic accordion with a warm, characterful sound.

Recorded at Eldana Estudio with the legendary U47 microphone, chromatically sampled with 3 dynamic layers and 3 round robins, Accordions 2 captures the living breath of the instrument. Even the finest details - bellows movements, key noises and natural release sounds - deliver an incredibly authentic playing experience.

Additionally, Accordion, Folk Accordion, Concert Accordion and French Musette include a left-hand section with basses and chords, complete with rhythmic accompaniment (14 styles, latch, style and note length control) for instantly playable, style-typical patterns.

Authentic Playing Techniques

Accordions 2 - Collection was created with special attention to the natural playing behavior of real accordions. From dynamic bellows control and freely combinable registers to realistic key and release noises - every nuance reacts just as musicians expect from the real instrument. Bandoneon Sforzato, Bellow Shake and Natural Release add extra depth and expression to every performance.

The sound of the world in one library

From the streets of Paris to the Alps and the tango clubs of Buenos Aires, Accordions 2 - Collection captures the soul of the accordion in all its forms. Whether for folk, film scoring, Latin or world music, every note breathes authenticity, emotion and depth.
