I have decided to use synths to emulate certain instruments since they have features that a static sampler cannot currently provide.
Vector synthesis being one of those attributes.
I have attempted to emulate the breathing that occurs when an Accordian is sucking and blowing through it's reeds. I have posted a small snippet and have made some progress but I am afraid my meger knowledge is holding me back.
If anyone can suggest or provide a better timed envelope, or control where I could use an expression pedal to better emulate this sound, I would be deeply appreciative.
Below is the current state of the Preset, and a crappy mp3 to demonstrate the progress so far.

I realize this isn't what Vectron strengths are, but I need a quick passable instrument I can hit a button and have at my fingertips. Wasting an entire MIDI channel or slot in Gigastudio is a last resort as I have an excellent collection of these cheezy Bastards to use.
Chances are the same old hot shots will be entering the parties and places I use to play, so I have to have something fast to play at a seconds notice. This so far is working out soundwise, but a more experienced envelope programmer w/ knowledge of MIDI CC's and performance tricks is needed.
Thanks In Advance.

Thank You Brotha' Man Stardust,
But I already have several libraires for when I will use that sound to record with.
I was looking for a fast preset in a synth that will be loaded the entire gig in a Project Window. The synth used will be Vectron and it should work since it will be a short intro for hot shots who dwell in our den. I just need a little more envelope tweaking and possibly LFO adjustments. The sound is close enough, as Accordians generate complex sawtooths, and squarewaves, which was a breeze with the 16bit waves provided in Vectron.
I need more precise Vectoring to emulate the air being moved across the Reeds.

Re: Vectron Assistance Needed.
Actually since you always engage rather than lurk, it was motivational enough for me to continue my research.
Where I have been sucessfull at emulating the Prophet VS in the same way as the bands in the '80's used it. Especially a German female vocalist, who's name and band escape me, but their MTV hit song was called " Voices Carry ", and a couple of cuts the awesome keyboardist they used, who also played in Passport I think, had some excellent presets that always amazed me, but I was so into the FAT BASTARD thing, I sadly overlooked it's real beaty and strength.
So Again...................Ankyu.
I will post a demo of the Vectron / Prophet VS patch in the music thread, w/ a link to the preset and instructions on it's use. Since the K-Follow is vital an explanation is needed on how 3 different attacks per preset can be used,......just like they did on the big jobs back then.
