Hello normangooijer and welcome to the Logic Pro Help forum. This "Tips and Tricks" forum is meant to share tips and tricks, and is not the place to ask questions.Next time, please ask your question in the Logic forum, thank you!

For now I'll answer your question here, and later I'll separate it from this thread and move it to the Logic forum.

So.. if your accordeon can send MIDI on different channels, you can use this:

Control Multiple Instruments on Different MIDI Channels
