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.

phase8 is an organic, responsive instrument that feels alive in your hands and responds to the world around you.

Haptic sound generation through Acoustic Synthesis

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.
