Korg FISA SUPREMA

[prunhardt]

That's a relief! I revisted Uwe's videos and the lack of volume control appears to be in the tremolo settings. You can set the amount of tremolo but not the volume of the tremolo, which I guess is the volume difference between the main reed (in tune) and the offset reed (slightly higher or lower).
So that's one worry resolved! I'm getting more and more exited at hopefully being able to try a Fisa in person, hopefully at WMF2025.
The Fisa has to do really well to replace (or just complement0 the accordions I already have. I consider all the orchestral sounds, drums and other features just "nice to have" but for me what's really essential is whether it can replace 1) a nice classical accordion with cassotto and 2) my bass accordion (which needs to sound like an accordion, but very low, going down to C1).

If you play amplified, then the Korg does a good job and sounds really good. If not, then you can hear that the Korg is an electric accordeon. No match for a good acoustic, I'd say (bought my Fisa last Friday, to have a spare and many types of accordeons under a button when playing in the band).

Hi all, did anyone set up a wireless midi connection with a PC, succesfully? I have a cable connection working, but would like to go wireless. What do I need?

Here is a brand new video from Luigi Bruti. The sounds he gets out of this instrument are incredible!

Brilliant example of 3 features that are small but together make a nice big difference when combined with the right song... SOLO and SPLIT KEYBOARD and SCENE changes.

Not to a PC and not on a FISA, but my Roland FR-8X communicates via wireless MIDI to change UPGs/SETs on the 8X and at the same time choose a specific song on the BK-7m from a song list.

It should work the same on FISA. Soon as I get mine, I will be doing some testing…the midi aspects are the same as on my Korg arrangers. Should be simple communication…especially with my Airturn bt500s-6 pedals. 6 pushbuttons and two analog inputs for maybe expression pedal and/or wah wah? Songbookplus and Onsong should have similar communication when selecting a song…I am almost thinking going back to Beat Buddy to replace an arranger. Then super compact system…

It should work the same on FISA....

Actually, the FISA is likely going to do more in that department.

Thanks Kep! Sounds really good to me.

I'm so pleased to see Richard playing again. I met him once many years ago at the Las Vegas Convention . just when the Roland accordions came on the market . He was there on his own not supported by the Roland company and if i remember correctly he had a FR7 and a smaller roland .
He did this all himself he just wanted to share his rolands and his experience with the attendees . He was kind caring and loved his music and interested in talking to the attendees . A true Gentleman ............................I'm so pleased he is on the mend .

Can't wait for this. My purchase comes with Richard's programs (whenever they are ready). Richard has an arrangement with my dealer.

Cool, actually hard to tell this is a “digital.” (Until it isn’t). Very talented fellow too.
