How good is KORG's new Digital Accordion FISA SUPREMA?

What new features can you look forward to? What possibilities does this instrument offer? Is it worth switching from BugariEvo or Roland FR-8x?

In this video, I'll take you along: A first day with the new KORG #fisasuprema #accordion at @mmprofishop

If somebody told me there exists a digital accordion with pitch bend, aftertouch and independent layering I would told them to stop inventing. Yet here we are and my mind is blown away.

Missed opportunity for Korg to call it the AKorgian

[timconstable]

I can imagine people turning up at an event saying " Ugh, an accordion!" - then you start playing!

I’m not an Accordion player but I love the modern technology. At 80 years old and a ex woodwind player I have moved into the digital age, I now play the Aerophone AE30 and like you I enjoy the complexity of this instrument. Keep up the great work and keep enjoying your music. An ‘ol fan from New Zealand 🇳🇿.

Thank you for one of the best Digital Accordion demos I’ve seen. I have a Roland FR4X Accordion, which I bought about four years ago, and am still enjoying playing and discovering new sounds. The Korg is a marvellous instrument especially in your hands.

[josephdeery]

I am not an accordion player but this is brilliant love it!!!! Thank you very much

[blackaigam]

The level of talent you have to play this instrument is incredible

[bhaskarpuhan]

It is unique and has various sounds and effects, which will be very useful for the Accordion Players. Thanks Korg for the new innovations.

Mind-blowing!!! I am a music lover and have been extremely interested in instruments since childhood. At that time, I was always eager to know which instrument was playing in the song. Unfortunately, I couldn't choose a profession but graduated in Fine Arts (Graphics) in 1973. I'm 74 now, but my passion for music never fades out! The accordion was one of my favorite instruments. This is a great Accordion that will continue to mesmerize people like me!!!
Danke!! 💕

That was a total "mind blown" moment - something that looks like an accordion *shouldn't be able to make those What an amazingly expressive instrument! The fact that they've managed to cram in all the DSP, amplification and full range speakers, so it's self-contained one-man-band rather than just a controller that also needs a DAW to actually make all the sounds makes it so much better.

[brainstorm]

OMG it is not only about this amazing machine but the talent required to play on it. Really great job!

[ScottRedstone]

We visited the Accordion Museum in Superior, WI last month. Now I’m watching videos to learn more about them. Korg version is amazing.

[prasadshrivatsa]

Great instrument, no doubt. But then, magic is never really *in* the instrument. It's in the hand that plays it. Hats off to you Matthias! You are an accomplished master.

[BojanBojovic]

It is incredible how Korg gets the same sound character over many decades, they are now so famous for their broken-like sound reproduction, lo-fi feel, and the feel that the speakers are blown out. Bravo Korg.

[BrokenOboeReed]

Thanks for the demo Matthias. Korg has always made a good quality product and it's nice to see that there's a bit of competition in the accordion world for the Roland. Keep up the good work!

[crispernaki]

I'm so glad your video popped up on my feed. You are clearly having a lot of fun, and you make it look so easy (of course it's not).
This instrument does seem to provide an overwhelming number of possibilities for expression.

[JKUMusic]

Das ist ein wirklich beachtliches Instrument! Danke für die ausgezeichnete Vorführung (y)

[abioyeolufemi]

This digital accordion is awesome, great renovation.

[caspian]

You just put a huge smile on my face with this video Matthias, thank you so much.

[barskuleli]

Amazing instrument… Almost an evolution. And he plays so well… Congrats to Korg and him…
