Korg phase8 Acoustic Synthesizer (Standard Edition)

Introducing phase8, an eight-voice acoustic synthesizer that merges the sonic richness of the physical world with precise electronic control. With envelope shaping, sequencing, analogue wavefolding, and pitch-dependent modulation, phase8 harnesses the latest Acoustic Synthesis technology developed at KORG.

Acoustic Synthesis uses physically vibrating bodies to generate sound, enhanced with the electronic control you’d expect from a synthesizer. The result is an instrument that produces sound which feels alive and responds to physical interactions such as touch and acoustic feedback. It is beyond “analogue vs digital”. It’s even beyond electronics. 8 independent electromechanical voices with steel resonators are at the heart of the instrument’s acoustic sound.

Phase8 comes with 13 chromatically tuned resonators; 8 of your choice can be installed at any one time. Through envelope control, these resonators can produce everything from short percussive sounds to long, drawn-out sustained notes. The design allows you to easily swap and tune resonators, letting you customize the scale and character of your phase8.
