La valse d'Amelie - MUSETTE (melody) + BANDONEON (acc.)

Introduction

Suonopuro Super Fisa is a hybrid virtual instrument, based on both sampling and physical modelling synthesis, which recreates the sound of a series of various accordions: melodica, concertina, cajun, bandoneon, musette, accordion, folk and classical fisarmonica. These are all bellows-driven instruments, whose sound is produced by the vibration of free reeds

Super Fisa uses the most advanced technological solutions in the field of virtual instruments, to obtain sounds that are not just a simple imitation of the originals, but which, thanks also to a wide range of effects, transform these traditional instruments into something more new and modern.

Moreover, its numerous functions make it very versatile and playable live. It can be used both in monophonic or in polyphonic mode. It can also perform up to two parallel secondary voices simultaneously, in the style of the great EWI player Michael Brecker.

It does not require complicated settings or intricate ways of playing: just play normally on your MIDI instrument to get legato and staccato, crescendo and diminuendo, piano and forte, vibrato, glissando, etc.

The Super Fisa is designed to get the best, in terms of expression and control, from any kind of MIDI instrument:

 • Electronic Wind Instruments (Akai EWI, Yamaha WX5, Casio Zanzithophone, Roland Ae10g, Morrison Digital Trumpet, etc.);

 • MIDI strings (Cantini MIDI violin, Zeta MIDI violin, etc.);

 • MIDI converters, like the Sonuus i2M;

 • MIDI keyboards (NI Komplete control, M-Audio Oxygen, etc.); • MIDI controllers (TEC breath controller, MIDI expression pedal, Yamaha BC3, etc.).
