The Phase8 synth is an experimental project developed by Korg Berlin, a European R&D branch of the Japanese instrument manufacturer headed up by renowned engineer Tatsuya "Tats" Takahashi, best known for masterminding the Minilogue and the Volca series.
Phase8 is not your average synth. Described as an "acoustic synthesizer", it's an experimental hybrid instrument that brings together acoustic sound generation with electronic control via synth-style sequencing and modulation.
