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.
That was a total "mind blown" moment - something that looks like an accordion *shouldn't be able to make those noises!!!!!!* 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.
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 🇳🇿.
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.
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.
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.
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!! 💕 Greetings from Karachi, Pakistan. ❤❤❤❤
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!
Surprisingly, it's not so much a rival for Roland accordions; it's more a continuation. The guy who developed this is the same guy who developed the Roland one. This is essentially an FR-9X
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.
Thanks a lot! Yes, the accordion in general has so many possibilities. In a digital world, that's the blast! I once met Jordan Rudess who listened to a demo of me playing a previous digital accordion and he was very interested. He said the only thing he misses, is pitch control - here we go now!
I started in 1956 playing and still playing. Play midi mostly and soon won't be able to play. Enjoyed your playing and demo. Will stick with my Ketron and acoustic. Hope more people take up this instrument in USA. also play zither
I wasn’t really up and running regarding digital accordeons haha! What an awesome instrument. It’s basically a multi-controller. And you did a superb demo of it, du bist beeinddruckend!
Thank you for the informative DEMO! I admit I had to think of *ROLAND* during your demo as I own one. Being older, I don't need much for satisfaction but LOVE the new DIGITAL enhancements for this (STILL) great instrument! Thank you!
Thanks so much! As a sound nerd, I wanted to dive way deeper into getting the best sound out of it, but just hat the FISA for a couple of hours. So I can't wait for a second round in October!
hat mich echt vom hocker gehauen! das muss ein wahr werdender traum für dich sein als akkordeonspieler! bleib dran und bändige das biest! hiermit sind wirklich bis jetzt unerreichte möglichkeiten gegeben.
Amazing tech. I'm looking at this in different way. Not as a digital accordion. For those who use sample libraries to create movie scores etc., the amount of articulation for something like a violin, oboe etc,..could be very powerful. There have been many devices and keyboards designed to help with that - but most come up short. Thanks for sharing. The price might be an issue for some. Amazing performance on your part. Cheers. 👍
Does it also have a midi output or can it be used as a midi controller? I could also imagine it being very interesting as a midi controller. I had accordion lessons myself for many years but then stopped playing the accordion because I find it too limited for modern music. A digital accordion like this could change that.
@@RedHair651 because he probably want to play north american music/global music which has very low use of accordion. But I bought one to play the popular music from my region, here accordion is the main instrument.
I bet most people don't realize how cool it is to have velocity sensitive keys on an accordion. On a piano, the notes are velocity sensitive... their initial loudness depends on how hard you press. But, on a piano, you can't change the volume once the note is hit. With a traditional accordion the volume is related to bellows pressure. Being able to use BOTH techniques enables a degree of expression that I'm not sure any other keyboard instrument has delivered on previously.
Echt toll, was dieses Gerät kann!!! Und das Akkordeon auch.... ;-) Aber im Ernst jetzt: Wirklich gut präsentiert. Bin eigentlich kein großer Freund von Akkordeons, aber hier muss ich sagen: Chapeau!!! LG von einem ehemaligen Trompeter.
💢Revolucionário! Não sei oq outros como a Roland fazem.. Mas esse mostrou coisas q eu nunca tinha visto numa Safona! É como 1 bom Teclado Syntetizador em Forma de SANFONA! Isso nas Mãos do GRANDE DOMINGUINHOS Seria FANTÁSTICO! 😀😊
Much more to like than the Roland equivalents to me, most notably, because I am not keen on Roland synth sounds wholesale. This I actually could see a use for.
I have the Roland FR-8X which I love this accordion is blowing my socks oFF. An instrument that is all most impossible to duplicate is a steel guitar but this accordion my just be the one to do it. If it works, I would love to see a demonstration. I enjoy your playing.
Absolutely brilliant demo. The instrument is very well designed but your skills and taste have elevated it! By the way, I never thought KORG would be good at making digital accordions but here we are… But truth be told, I am not very fond of the brilliant black plastic.
In the 1990s I met a MIDI accordion player, he added a plucked bass fiddle to the bass knobs and an acoustic guitar to the Chord knobs and so he could sound like a 3 men band and completely live. When he added some sounds to the melody side and some style accompaniment, it became a band with 6 and more people. Because the accordion isn't touch sensitive, it works the best with organ sounds, harpsichord and with everything with soft attack, as string ensemble, wood winds, brass and not so satisfying with piano.
Such things exists for about 20 years from Roland and it has the advantages, you can have 10 different kinds of accordions and an accordion with more registers isn't heavier. Also adding non Accordion sounds or doing the sound of a legendary Dutch accordion Duo.

Wow, that sounds great! Thanks for sharing your comment!
I can imagine people turning up at an event saying " Ugh, an accordion!" - then you start playing!
That‘s indeed my mission - but also on the acoustic accordion 😀 Have a great day!
Do you have an idea, which song to play for exactly this purpose? 😁
@@MatthiasMatzke I think you'd have to from French traditional style to somethingb like 'living on a prayer!!
@@MatthiasMatzke Kimmo Pohjonen has got plenty of good examples on this exactly.

The level of talent you have to play this instrument is incredible
@@blackaigam thank you! Because of digital accordions, I studied music production after jazz 🤓
It is unique and has various sounds and effects, which will be very useful for the Accordion Players. Thanks Korg for the new innovations.

This digital accordion is awesome, great renovation.
We visited the Accordion Museum in Superior, WI last month. Now I’m watching videos to learn more about them. Korg version is amazing.
There are so many interesting developements in the accordion world!
I used to play the accordion when I was a kid. Didn't know there were now Digital ones ... thats so cool!
OMG it is not only about this amazing machine but the talent required to play on it. Really great job!
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!

The best demo on this new acc I've seen yet. Interested in seeing it with a few sidemen. Look forward to your next performancd. Ohio, USA
Thank you, that means a lot to me! Oh yes: I'd love to be back to Ohio and the great IDEAS Symposium!!!
Unbelievable. Way way better than Korg’s own demos. Technically superb but also with a preternatural grasp of the synth features.
Thanks so much! As a sound nerd, I wanted to dive way deeper into getting the best sound out of it, but just hat the FISA for a couple of hours. So I can't wait for a second round in October!

Wow, Korg made a stunning instrument! ❤
I'm very happy such a brand joined the accordion development. I played Kronos for years
The accordion is an instrument that cuts through very well in crowded mixes. It's a huge sound. This accordion sounds spectacular💯💥
I think so, too! Thanks for watching!

What an amazing instrument! Thanks for the video. From Tennessee, USA.
Thanks a lot! Wow, I've always wanted to visit Tennessee!
