1. 3 Best Accordion VST Plugins and Samples of 2020 As far as popular instruments go, the humble accordion is not one that usually pops into mind. It is a box-shaped, free-reed aerophone instrument first developed by Friedrich Buschmann in 1822, and of which has been deeply associated with folk and (to some degree) classical music.

Peti is a unique plugin instrument, which uses hybrid FM/PM* synthesis technology to emulate the sounds of the Harmonium and Accordion, members of the Reed Organ family. Traditional Reed Organs operate by means of hand-or foot-driven bellows, which pump air over metal reeds to make them vibrate.

The Reed Organ dates back to 1840, when the Harmonium was patented in Paris by its inventor Alexandre Debain. But the so called 'free-reed' instruments are much more ancient, like the Chinese mouth organs. The famous Melodica is also a 'free-reed' instrument. The Harmonium in its smaller form is widely used in north Indian music and, as derivation, in pop and rock music too for its full and sweet sound.

*[FM/PM = Frequency Modulation/ Physical Modelling, Peti plugin does not use samples or wavetables.]
Peti is capable of emulating a wide variety of reed organ variations, from both suction and pressure families, accordions, as well as timbres which resemble pipe organs. Within the new Peti SA the synthesis engine has been improved allowing more variations and better emulation of many harmonium and accordion types.

The name 'Peti' comes from the Indian portable version of the Harmonium ('peti' literally means little box in Hindi), although the structure is closer to that of a Western harmonium. While the Peti word ('portable harmonium' in Hindi) has been chosen as a tribute to the huge tradition of portable harmonium usage in India and Pakistan, 'SA' has been added to the name of this new version of the plugin both to signify a new start, since SA is the name of the first note of the Indian scale, and as a tribute to the European origins, whereby SA refers to 'Suprema Armonia', for the centuries old tradition of accordion builders in Italy. You may also consider the SA to stand for Supreme Accordion due to the enhancements in Peti SA for its accordion emulation.

Peti SA also emulates various features of the Harmonium/Accordion, including the noise of air in the bellows and chambers, a 'musette' tremolo feature, and 'key coupling' allowing a single note to trigger two voices. Keyboard noises are also emulated.
Peti SA provides features to control many parameters while playing: a MIDI CC value of choice, Aftertouch and Velocity. That allows for instance a ModWheel or an expression/volume pedal to be used to enhance the natural performance of the emulations.

Features: (See the [New in Peti SA] label for the new features)

Two Reed Banks, the core sound generators, with the same parameters available independently for each Bank. The two Reed Banks are not identical, swapping settings between Bank 1 and Bank 2 will subtly change the overall sound. The parameters available for each Reed Bank are:

[#] Brighter: Adds more upper harmonics in the timbre.

[#] Harmonics: Two different harmonic 'flavours' for each Reed Bank.

[#] Modulation: This parameter controls the overall amount of harmonics added.

Plus:

[#] Harmonics deviation: Extra parameter for Bank 1. [New in Peti SA]

[#] Phi: Phase difference between the two Banks. [New in Peti SA]

[#] KT: Extra 'keytracking' for Harmonics and volume, improves some accordions/harmoniums emulations. [New in Peti SA]

Global Parameters:

[#] Resonance: Reeds physical resonance.

[#] Resonance L H: Octave shift of resonance.

[#] HiBoost: Presence equalizer. [New in Peti SA]

[#] Chorus: Controls the effect which is often called 'musette' or 'tremolo'.

[#] Chorus L H: Balance of the Chorus across the keyboard range. [New in Peti SA]

[#] Ratio: Pitch difference between the two Reed Banks. Octave, same pitch or a fifth.

[#] Breath: Controls the amount of 'air noise'.

[#] Space: Preset reverb. [New in Peti SA]
[#] Keys: Keyboard noise, key release noise [New in Peti SA] or high pitched click on attack

[#] BoxSize: Emulates the size of the instrument. [New in Peti SA]

[#] Volume: Controls the output level.

[#] Volume + = : Allows to set the volume unaffected by the number of notes played This emulates those harmoniums or accordions that due to air pressure distribution decrease their sound volume when more notes are played at the same time. [New in Peti SA]

[#] Pitch: Controls the master fine-tuning setting.

[#] Bellows Controls: Rate and Mode, 11 types of automated pressure modulation.

[#] Velocity Sensitivity: Allows you to adjust the instrument's response to MIDI velocity.

[#] MaxVoices: Sets the polyphony of Peti from 1 (mono legato) to 16.

[#] Keyboard Coupler: This control emulates a mechanical 'coupler' which is found in some Harmoniums. It causes two notes to be played simultaneously by one key, with an interval which may be set to an octave, a fourth, or a fifth.

[#] Scale Changer: This control shifts the keyboard tuning up to 12 semitones up or down.

[#] MIDI Continuous Controllers, Aftertouch and Pitchbend: Selectable CC and AT, with adjustable depth, for several plugin parameters.
And adjustable pitch bending range. [New in Peti SA]

[#] Scalable interface (Resizeable GUI), several sizes. [New in Peti SA]

[#] Four GUI colours schemes, plus infinite user custom schemes. [New in Peti SA]

[#] Tooltips: With show/hide switch. [New in Peti SA]

[#] Cross-platform preset system with human readable files. [New in Peti SA]

[#] 50+ presets: Harmoniums, accordions, melodicas, organs and others. [New in Peti SA]

[#] Ability to import FXB FXP presets from the older Peti plugin.

[#] Planned feature for 1.1 : Microtuning

Demo limitations:

[#] Sound mutes after 20 minutes, reload the plugin to play more.

[#] Plugin state is not saved in the DAW.

As far as popular instruments go, the humble accordion is not one that usually pops into mind. It is a box-shaped, free-reed aerophone instrument first developed by Friedrich Buschmann in 1822, and of which has been deeply associated with folk and (to some degree) classical music.

It’s not exactly favorable in the present-day music production stage, but I also wouldn’t be too surprised to see one. Even so, an accordion VST can add surprising flavor, and while they’re not exactly common, I think they have a place in the production world—especially in film scores. Besides, one can never have too many instruments at their disposal.

In this article, we will dive into some of my top choices. There are many options out there, some of which you just won’t like, so I did all the work in the hopes of presenting to you the best of the best. The following compiled list is of accordion VSTs and plugins that I have experienced and enjoyed.

But, first: what do you look for in a VST, exactly?

What to Look for in an Accordion VST

Sound

Obviously, I lean towards the products that, in my opinion, sound the best. I have abstained from listing those I don’t like the sound of.

Price

Some of the accordions come in huge sample packs that include a lot of other organic instruments. Sometimes, it can be cheaper to purchase a bigger sample pack rather than having to get plugins that only have one or two instruments.

Dynamic

How does it sound when played with a keyboard? I write and produce using a digital piano, so I prefer plugins that sound real. The more dynamic and realistic it feels in delivery, the better.

So now that we know what to look for—the list.

The Best Accordion VSTs List

Alright guys, let's get to the list already!

Akkordica VST
Best Free Accordion VST

Akkordica is a pretty cool VST: it features an accordion, a harmonica, and a melodica. These are all very similar types of instruments that also sound similar.

Do you like melodicas? Read my informative post on my favorites here.

There’s an ADSR envelope generator that pairs well with this VST. You can really get in deep here, but the one thing I’m not a fan of is the overall sound.

Sound

It’s not my favorite. It has quality sound, but as it is a free download, you sacrifice a little bit in the audio department. If you’re in a pinch for money, this is a great option—it’s hard to beat that price.

Overall

Free Accordion Vst Instruments

A solid pick in general, especially for those on a budget. A lot of people recommend this plug-in, so it’s definitely worthy of at least checking out.

You can get it here.

Sonokinetic Accordion

The company did a thorough job on this one; they recorded all their samples in their recording studio, using different attacks and velocities and hence making the samples sound much more realistic.

It’s one of the more in-depth sample packs for the accordion out there, as it was specifically made for it. Kontakt works extremely well with this and recognizes it with chord mode. This allows you to play chords to a better capacity.

Check out my favorite bass guitar VSTs in this post here!

Sound

I believe that this plugin delivers top-notch, realistic sound. I think the sound is quite pleasing, and it’s by far the most convincing.

Overall

The Sonokinetic accordion is totally a great investment that's definitely worth the capital put into it.

Eduardo Tarilonte’s Accordions 2

This is probably the biggest collection that I have found, with over 13 different accordions and 8,000 samples to pick from. Of course, with such a vast range, it is also understandably pricier.

The samples were recorded on a U47 microphone (which is a condenser mic, a dynamic microphone can also be used to record, especially when it comes to drum samples), one of the more expensive mics to record with. You will notice immediately that this is an extremely high-quality sample pack.

The library takes up 6.2 GB, which to me is a huge amount of space—not something I particularly love about this. You’ll need to have an updated DAW, with Pro Tools 10 being the minimum.

Sound

Extremely pleasing in the sound department. I would definitely say that I like it as much as the Sonokinetic product when it comes to sound.

Overall

Probably the most in-depth accordion sample pack that you can buy. It will take up a lot of space on your laptop or personal computer, though. With that being said, it’s still an amazing product.

Personal Experience

Personally I do not have a ton of experience with the actual instrument but have used these types of VSTs with frequency. Overall, it's worth trying, to say the least.

You can get it here.

Can You Play the Accordion If You Know How to Play Piano?

The short answer: yes. But that doesn’t mean you are going to be good at it. In fact, the opposite may be true. This is an incredibly difficult instrument to learn, so don’t expect to be great right away!

The good thing is that with VSTs, it doesn’t matter if you know how to play.

Conclusion

Accordion Vst Free

There aren’t a whole lot of options, so I hope you were able to find something to your liking. If you’re not going to be using these a lot, I recommend just going with the free alternative. My goal here was to present you all with some quality information you wouldn’t be able to find elsewhere, so I hope I have accomplished that to your satisfaction.
