KORG FISA SUPREMA PIANO MBK's Emulative Realism
KORG's R&D team in Italy, deeply rooted in the accordion world, has meticulously crafted every detail of this instrument—from key sizes and layout ergonomics to overall response. This deep understanding of accordionists' needs has resulted in an instrument that offers a truly unique playing experience while honoring the legacy of KORG co-founder Tadashi Osanai, himself an accordionist and passionate about the instrument. KORG's commitment and care are evident in every aspect of the FISA SUPREMA.
Versatility
The FISA SUPREMA offers a high degree of tonal versatility with 45 traditional accordion types, carefully crafted using physical modeling technology. It allows the modification of many essential parameters, such as reed type and combination, internal or external chamber placement, growl and mechanical noise selection, tuning adjustments, bass configuration, and even selective timbre aging. This flexibility enables musicians to tailor the instrument to their style and personal taste.
Expressiveness
Beyond sound generation, the FISA SUPREMA's expressiveness and realism are due to the exclusive Natural Bellows Response technology, which faithfully replicates an acoustic accordion's bellows response. This system constantly monitors and adjusts the bellows' movement, direction, and pressure, capturing every nuance of your performance in real time, ensuring a highly realistic and fluid dynamic response from delicate passages to more energetic ones.
Digital Power of FISA SUPREMA PIANO MBK
The advanced digital technology adopted in the FISA SUPREMA PIANO MBK opens up a whole new world in terms of tonal flexibility, expressiveness, and control. The FISA SUPREMA offers a vast, high-quality sound library that significantly enhances the performance and musical possibilities of the traditional accordion, providing 5 different types of organs, pianos, strings, brass, and synthesizers, all freely combinable. The expressive possibilities of these sounds are further enhanced by KORG's Advanced Proportional Bellows Behavior technology. Additionally, thanks to the exclusive Hyper-Real Sound Cluster (HSC) and Hyper-Real Drum Sounds Cluster, the FISA SUPREMA can also simulate the rhythmic support of an entire band.
Advanced Control
The FISA SUPREMA offers complete control over every performance detail, allowing you to layer sounds to create the most complex tonal combinations, quickly store and recall configurations through dedicated "Scenes," and adjust parameters through a series of controls, such as programmable buttons, multiple registers, assignable controls, chin switches, an assignable Master Bar, touch sensors, Aftertouch, velocity-sensitive keys, and a two-axis accelerometer that influences the sound by moving the accordion forward and to the right. The FISA SUPREMA offers a high expressive potential, allowing musicians to intuitively but naturally shape their sound.
FISA SUPREMA PIANO MBK User Interface
The FISA SUPREMA uses an extremely logical and intuitive user interface, with navigation through numerous functions facilitated by a bright color display and the rational arrangement of menus. All physical controls and shortcuts are designed for ease of use, allowing the performer to focus solely on the artistic aspect of the performance without technical distractions. The FISA SUPREMA also offers a choice between two operating modes: "EASY," with the same capabilities as an acoustic accordion, and "ADVANCED," which significantly extends its potential.
Internal Amplification
The FISA SUPREMA offers superior sound quality thanks to its built-in 56W stereo amplification system, ensuring efficient and dynamic listening for both the musician and the audience. You can also connect headphones to the instrument for practice, study, or playing with excellent listening at any time without disturbing others or being disturbed.
Connectivity
The FISA SUPREMA is equipped with advanced connectivity options such as MIDI In/Out (DIN), Bluetooth MIDI, Bluetooth Audio, USB MIDI, USB Audio, and Audio LOUT L/R, allowing it to integrate with all digital equipment, recording setups, and live concert systems. Bluetooth audio also allows for the playback of musical backing tracks from mobile devices such as smartphones or tablets directly through the accordion's speakers. The FISA SUPREMA always offers maximum flexibility for connecting computers, listening systems, or other musical instruments necessary for creating, recording, and performing.
Portability of FISA SUPREMA PIANO MBK
Weighing just 10.6 kg, the FISA SUPREMA is easy to transport in any musical situation, such as rehearsals, concerts, and lessons. Its ergonomic design also allows for continuous use without fatigue. The FISA SUPREMA has a dual power system: via a rechargeable lithium-ion battery with a runtime of about 8 hours and via an AC adapter. Charging can also occur during a performance without interruptions, ensuring no power issues. The long-lasting battery allows extended use of the instrument without sacrificing any practical aspects compared to an acoustic accordion.
Maintenance-Free
The FISA SUPREMA is a digital accordion that naturally does not require tuning or other maintenance on the reeds or bellows and always guarantees consistent performance and reliability in any operating condition.
Why Choose a Digital Accordion?
In live performances and studio recordings, traditional accordions often present several challenges, including miking difficulties, limited tonal versatility that sometimes requires the use of multiple instruments, a lack of headphone connections, and no MIDI functionality. Thanks to its advanced digital features, the FISA SUPREMA can solve all these problems and offer several advantages over traditional accordions, including extremely stable tuning, the ability to use different tuning systems, and the elimination of maintenance issues associated with intonation or the bellows.
