Korg Phase 8 | Superbooth 2024
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 4 окт 2024
- After showing its "Phase 5" at last year's Superbooth trade event in Berlin, Korg will this year demonstrate an updated prototype, the Acoustic Synthesis_Phase8.
Phase8 is part melodic synthesizer, part drum machine. It features eight independent electromechanical voices plus a sequencer with polyrhythmic shifting, wave-shaping possibilities and an envelope generator.

The sound of the keys being pressed was louder than the sounds being produced which I couldn’t hear. Gave up after about three minutes. :-(
The demos for this almost sound like they are trying to disguise the sound. Let us hear it properly. At the moment the design looks very limited. Just eight fixed notes makes it a Kalimba with a pickup and an ebow.
Can not hear
This will land on Bad Gear fast.
This is the first video I've seen that doesn't look the same as last year's demos. The feedback-sustain is exciting! But nobody has mentioned what frequencies the resonators are capable of. I assume it's fixed to eight notes in a specific scale? And people are gonna need to CNC mill their own forks if they want a different scale? I love that someone's doing R&D. And I like the idea of a Volca Rhodes, but it's gonna need more like 25 notes. And I'm really rolling my eyes every time one of these guys says "You can interact with it!" without demonstrating any kind of remotely musical interaction. If interaction is your selling point, put a whammy bar on it!
4 minutes in, it sounds incredible. I really connect with that. Really intriguing.
the audio sadly is dreadful quiet
Live it sounded more complex and with more harmonics. Very bad recording here
It feels like they reinvented the wheel
I think this thing's amazing
The problem is, after listening to several videos of this, it just doesn’t sound very good, and I keep thinking that you could get an FM synthesizer to make similar sounds very easily if you wanted to.
Korg is notorious for making stuff nobody asked for but let's hope it will be cheap, for 3 hundreds this will be a cool addition to Soma hardware
I’ll eat my hat if this thing retails at less than one grand
@@ThePointingArrows haha same
I love the Cy Twombly art on the side panels.
An electric marimba.
And it's not acoustic it's electric.
Give one to Four Tet
Oh that's awesome and very interesting!
Ccpretty please re-upload this with a better mix. You obviously have source audio of the instrument but all we can really hear is the demo narration and clacky key presses.
Sunk-cost fallacy: “the phenomenon whereby a person is reluctant to abandon a strategy or course of action because they have invested heavily in it, even when it is clear that abandonment would be more beneficial.”
beautiful innovation!!!
Not sure about this one. I rather like the hybrid nature of it, but struggle to imagine it fitting into my workflow. If the tines can be tuned to different scales, that would definitely be a good bonus.
Man I hope this gets mass-produced
Users: "Please make a modern electribe that doesn't suck azz..."
KORG: "So anyway here's Mutable Rings with extra steps..."
90s electribe interface with modern file management would be nice.
Really interesting, nice concept!
Utter waste of time and effort. No thank you.
0:00 Ah, the Superbooth drone shot from 1879 😊
Genius
Interesting
Wow it’s a worse Fender Rhodes.
Interesting device but I think will need to adding another resonators maybe it can be based on vargan and combfilters
Hopefully it’s affordable in the end …
The concept it cool, but it seems incredibly limited and one dimensional. Feel like the synthstitute's gonna hate on this one.
It might be one dimensional... But that one dimension can be used quite well.
Typo in video thumbnail: "accoustic"
😍👏👍
Better sound used here - and full explanation of the instrument:

…that was it? Am I missing something…? Sounds like a stream of water sputtering over an upside down metal washtub 🤔😬😅
a kinda steampunk technology
Someone needs to mass produce the Swarmatron. This thing is really boring.
I think I like, I'm not sure :)
Ebows are a thing.
i wannit
Trash unfortunately
I have yet to hear this thing do anything other than a muddy mid range thunk. Just hit the side of a paint can and sample it if that's what you want. You guys need to stop talking about this and show that it can do anything other than that one boring sound.
it's the clown who made monologue then he got funding & moved to berlin for some reason - sonic dead end
Metallophones can sound gorgeous... I think it should have bigger tines to give a richer sound, and motion sequencing so that it can play more than one tine when you press a button. And also some way to retune the tines... and if possible, to be able to do it while the note is playing, without deadening the note. I think all of those would make it more musical. And a few more tines, or else at least have a harmonizer effect. I'm not sure which of my suggestions would be feasible, or fit their design ethos, or musical interests.
@@alancalvittiKorg has opened a research centre in Berlin registered as another company under the Japanese headquarters, to allow the group there to focus on R&D without being swamped with the slow bureaucracy that would hamper creativity.
This is what one of the engineers at Superbooth explained me
To be fair, live it sounds way more complex and with more harmonics.
I see what you mean. Heck. You can just clunk actual pipes through a mic and a delay pedal and go old school
😂. Um...
It sounds like an overpriced kalimba goin through a bunch of cheap efx pedals
Looks great though
Love the concept, I’m just sad that Korg is the one doing it. I’m sure y’all will take a good idea and botch it by the time mass production starts lol
Very interesting product, but I'm sorry, didn't like the presenter or the presentation, sounded like he was an arrogant tech guy explaining to people he thought were sure to be total morons. BTW the first thing I hope they offer are alternative types of vibrating prongs, maybe bundle a few different types.
gimmick
Considering almost nothing has improved in a year, this will be released as an electric kalimba with not much variation in sounds.
Interesting
