Where Luthiery Meets Synthesis at KORG
With the phase8, KORG introduces its proprietary "Acoustic Synthesis" technology: sound is generated by vibrating physical bodies and then shaped by precise electronic control. Neither purely analog nor strictly digital, this hybrid synthesizer occupies a unique place in the KORG lineup by offering a haptic and expressive playing experience, close to that of a contemporary acoustic instrument.Who Is It For and What Are Its Uses?
The phase8 is aimed at intermediate to expert musicians, sound designers, performers, and composers of electronic, ambient, techno, experimental, or film music. Its physical response and direct interaction make it an inspiring tool in the studio, as well as a stage performance machine capable of sensitive improvisations and evolving textures.Technical specifications
