Thanks!

I found this one that Joel developed for the phase plant synthesizer. Since it is pure synthesis it might be tweakeable to your needs.

The only stop on OrganTeq that's remotely like an accordion reed is the Schalmei 4'. But this is one octave above ideal...

You can make the sound 'wet' by using two stops and detuning one. The bellows can be emulated by use of the expression pedal (CC11) but it's really not what you'll want as you're buying a Pipe Organ with all its grandeur just to use one stop and get close to an Accordion / Harmonium but not completely where you want to go..

Here are some demos for you to hear...

DRY

WET

WET Bandoleon (8' & 4')

Hope that helps ???

I'm not familiar with those accordions but perhaps Organteq could fit the bill? https://www.modartt.com/organteq_overview
Most demos are quite wet, but I guess you can turn reverb off and make it dry?

Hi and thanks for the suggestion.

With accordions wet vs. dry refers to the tuning of the multiple reeds of a same note, it can not be adjusted with reverb settings.
