Korg - FISA Suprema Digital Accordion (Piano Key)

The Korg FISA Suprema Digital Accordion is a truly next-generation instrument that unites the feel of a premium 120-bass acoustic accordion with the power and flexibility of a modern digital workstation. This piano-key version gives traditional accordionists an instantly familiar 41-key right-hand layout, while unlocking an enormous palette of accordion, organ, orchestral and drum sounds, all driven by Korg’s advanced T2L engine and cutting-edge bellows technology.

Developed in Italy by a team deeply immersed in accordion culture, FISA Suprema captures every nuance of a real instrument, from the bellows response and key noise to the growl and “age” of the reeds. At the same time, it removes many of the headaches associated with acoustic accordions, offering stable tuning, deep programmability, powerful onboard speakers and extensive connectivity for studio, stage and silent practice.

Authentic Feel, Digital Freedom

FISA Suprema is built from the ground up to feel like a serious acoustic accordion. The 41-key piano right hand and 120-bass left hand both feature velocity sensitivity and aftertouch, so your dynamics and expression translate naturally into sound. Korg’s Natural Bellows Response and Advanced Proportional Bellows Behaviour technologies continuously track bellows movement and pressure, giving you the same push-pull expressiveness you expect from a traditional instrument, but with the consistency and control of a digital engine.

Deeply Customisable Accordion Sound

With 45 accordion types from around the world, you can cover everything from folk and musette to classical and contemporary styles without changing instrument. You can choose reed combinations, cassotto placement, tuning, growl and mechanical noises, and even “age” the sound to taste. Detailed simulation parameters such as musette detuning curves, valve and key noises, bellows resonance and individual reed starts let you fine-tune the response so it behaves exactly how you want under your hands.

Beyond Accordion: Organs, Orchestra and Drums

FISA Suprema goes far beyond a single-instrument emulation. Virtual tonewheel technology delivers five distinct organ types, including two tonewheel flavours, transistor (Farfisa and Vox-style) and pipe organs, with over 148 patches assignable to the registers. More than 170 orchestral sounds, dedicated Soloist and Synth patches, plus Hyper-Real Sound Cluster and Hyper-Real Drum Sounds Cluster options give you band-like textures and realistic drum parts directly from the accordion. With up to 320-voice polyphony, complex layered scenes remain smooth and responsive.

Performance Control and Simple Operation

Despite its depth, FISA Suprema is designed to be intuitive on stage. A colour LCD with clear menus, easy/advanced operating modes and well-placed shortcuts keep navigation fast and distraction-free. You can layer and split sounds, store scenes for instant recall, and shape your performance using chin switches, a fully assignable master bar switch, touch sensors, aftertouch and a unique 2-axis accelerometer that responds to physical movement of the instrument. Whether you want a straightforward acoustic-style setup or a highly programmable digital rig, FISA Suprema adapts to your workflow.

• Natural Bellows Response and Advanced Proportional Bellows Behaviour - Korg’s bellows technologies continuously monitor bellows direction, pressure, number of keys pressed and note pitch to recreate the feel of an acoustic accordion. This gives you a highly expressive dynamic range, smooth transitions, realistic bellows shake and independent resistance for push and pull, so the instrument reacts just like a fine traditional accordion.
• 45 Global Accordion Types with Deep Editing - A wide library of 45 accordion models covers instruments from around the world, removing the need to own multiple accordions. You can customise reed footages, cassotto placement, tuning, musette detuning curves, growl, mechanical noises and “ageing”, tailoring the sound and response to your personal style and preferred repertoire.
• Extensive Sound Palette with Organ, Orchestra and Drums - The Advanced T2L engine powers a huge selection of sounds, including five organ types, over 170 orchestral patches, dedicated Soloist and Synth voices, plus Hyper-Real Sound Cluster and drum sounds. With 320-voice polyphony and multiple register assignments, you can build rich, layered scenes that cover everything from solo accordion to full-band textures.
• Modern Connectivity and Onboard Speakers - MIDI, USB MIDI/Audio, Bluetooth MIDI and Bluetooth Audio, plus standard audio outputs and headphone connection, make FISA Suprema easy to integrate into any live or studio setup. The built-in bi-amped speaker system delivers clear, powerful sound for both player and audience, while headphones provide high-quality silent practice whenever you need it.
