Korg Phase 8

Discover the KORG phase8, an eight-voice acoustic synthesizer that combines the richness and unpredictability of the physical world with the precision of modern electronic control. Thanks to KORG’s Acoustic Synthesis technology, sound is born from vibrating steel resonators and then sculpted through envelopes, modulation, rhythmic sequencing, and analog wavefolding.

The result: an organic, tactile, and ultra-responsive instrument that feels alive under your fingers and interacts naturally with its environment (touch, rubbing, acoustic feedback). Sculpt the timbre by plucking, tapping, or rubbing the resonators, or experiment by adding objects. The AIR slider amplifies or attenuates the acoustic response of anything that comes into contact with the instrument.
