The keyboard has been reduced from 41 to 37 keys, and functions such as the master bar and aftertouch have been simplified to make the instrument even easier to use. With the KORG FISA SUPREMA C PIANO, musicians can use a medium-sized accordion that is lighter and more comfortable but just as powerful and versatile as the FISA SUPREMA Standard. Perfect for musicians looking for an instrument tailored to their needs without compromising on sound quality or functionality.

The Emulative Realism of the KORG FISA SUPREMA C PIANO

The KORG research and development team, based in Italy, is deeply rooted in the world of accordions and has meticulously crafted every detail of this instrument: from the size and position of the keys to the ergonomic layout and its overall response. This profound understanding of accordionists' needs has allowed for the creation of an instrument like FISA SUPREMA that offers a virtually unique playing experience, while also honoring the legacy and memory of KORG co-founder, Tadashi Osanai, himself an accordionist and enthusiast of the instrument. KORG's commitment and care in this project are reflected in every aspect of the KORG FISA SUPREMA C PIANO.

Versatility

The KORG FISA SUPREMA C PIANO offers a high degree of tonal versatility thanks to the availability of 45 types of traditional accordions, meticulously crafted with physical modeling technology. The KORG FISA SUPREMA C PIANO naturally allows for the modification of many important parameters such as: the choice of reed type and combination, their internal or external position to the cassotto (tone chamber), the selection of the type of growl and mechanical noises, tuning adjustment, bass configuration, and even selective aging of the timbre, thus allowing every musician the opportunity to adjust the instrument to their own style and personal taste.

Expressiveness

In addition to sound generation, the expressiveness and realism of the KORG FISA SUPREMA C PIANO are due to the exclusive Natural Bellows Response technology, which faithfully replicates the bellows response of an acoustic accordion. This system constantly controls and adjusts the movement, direction, and pressure of the bellows, capturing every subtle nuance of your performance in real time, ensuring an extremely realistic and fluid dynamic response from the most delicate to the most energetic passages.

The Power of KORG FISA SUPREMA C PIANO

The high computational capacity of the digital technology adopted in the KORG FISA SUPREMA C PIANO opens up a whole new world in terms of tonal flexibility, expressiveness, and control. Indeed, the KORG FISA SUPREMA C PIANO possesses an extensive library of high-quality sounds that significantly increases the performing and musical possibilities of the traditional accordion, offering: 5 different types of organs (ToneWheel1/2, FARF, VX, and PIPE), pianos, strings, winds, synthesizers, freely combinable with each other. The expressive possibilities of these sounds are further enhanced by the Advanced Proportional Bellows Behavior technology (patent pending by KORG). Furthermore, thanks to the exclusive Hyper-Real Sound Cluster (HSC) and Hyper-Real Drum Sounds Cluster, the KORG FISA SUPREMA C PIANO can also simulate the rhythmic support of an entire band.

Hyper-Real Sound Cluster assigns real-time control of additional accompaniment parts, both harmonic, such as guitars, banjos, etc., and percussive, to the bass buttons, offering complete musical support for performance simply by playing the bass parts.

Advanced Control

The KORG FISA SUPREMA C PIANO allows for complete control over every performance detail. Sounds can be layered to create the most complex tonal combinations, and their configurations can be quickly stored and recalled using dedicated “Scenes.” Parameters can be adjusted via 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 can influence the sound by moving the accordion forward and to the right. The FISA SUPREMA thus offers high expressive potential, allowing the musician to constantly shape their sound in an intuitive and, above all, natural way.

User Interface of KORG FISA SUPREMA C PIANO

The KORG FISA SUPREMA C PIANO employs an extremely logical and intuitive user interface; navigating through its many functions is made easy by the bright color display and the rational arrangement of menus. All physical controls and shortcuts have been designed for ease of use, allowing the performer to concentrate exclusively on the artistic aspect of the performance without technical distractions. The FISA SUPREMA also offers a choice between two operating modes: “EASY - simple” with the same possibilities as an acoustic accordion, and “ADVANCED -” which significantly extends its potential.

Internal Amplification

The KORG FISA SUPREMA C PIANO offers superior sound quality thanks to its integrated 70W Stereo amplification system, ensuring efficient and dynamic listening for both the musician and the audience. Headphones can naturally be connected to the instrument for practicing, studying, or playing with excellent sound at any time without disturbing or being disturbed.

Connectivity

The KORG FISA SUPREMA C PIANO features advanced connectivity such as: MIDI In/Out (DIN), Bluetooth MIDI, Bluetooth Audio, USB MIDI, USB Audio, and Audio LOUT L/R, enabling it to integrate with all digital equipment, recording setups, and live concert systems. Bluetooth audio also allows playback of musical backing tracks from mobile devices like smartphones or tablets directly through the accordion's speakers. The KORG FISA SUPREMA C PIANO always offers maximum flexibility for connecting to computers, listening systems, or other musical instruments, essential for creating, recording, and performing.

Easy Transport of KORG FISA SUPREMA C PIANO

Its significantly compact weight and dimensions, only 9.9 kg, make the KORG FISA SUPREMA C PIANO an easy instrument to transport for any occasion or musical situation such as rehearsals, concerts, or lessons. Its ergonomic structure also allows for continuous use without fatigue. The KORG FISA SUPREMA C PIANO has a dual power system: via a rechargeable lithium-ion battery with an autonomy of approximately 8 hours, and via an AC adapter. Charging can also occur during a performance without interruption of operation, thus avoiding power supply issues. The high-capacity battery allows for extended use of the instrument without sacrificing any practical aspect compared to an acoustic accordion.

Maintenance-Free

The KORG FISA SUPREMA C PIANO is a digital accordion that naturally requires no tuning or other maintenance of the reeds or bellows and always guarantees consistent performance and reliability under all operating conditions.

Why a Digital Accordion?

In live performances and studio recordings, traditional accordions often pose several challenges. These include microphoning difficulties, limited tonal versatility which sometimes requires the use of multiple instruments, the lack of headphone connections, and the absence of MIDI functionality. Thanks to its advanced digital features, FISA SUPREMA can solve all these problems and offer several advantages over traditional accordions, including: extremely stable tuning, the possibility of using different tuning systems, and eliminating maintenance problems associated with voicing or the bellows.
