{"product_id":"korg-phase8-acoustic-synthesizer","title":"Korg phase8 Acoustic Synthesizer","description":"\u003cp\u003eIntroducing 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. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003ephase8 is an organic, responsive instrument that feels alive in your hands and responds to the world around you.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFeatures \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e- Haptic sound generation through Acoustic Synthesis \u003cbr\u003e- Swapable and tunable steel resonators \u003cbr\u003e- Polymetric rhythm sequencer\u003cbr\u003e- Modulation modes\u003cbr\u003e- Trigger delay\u003cbr\u003e- Parameter automation\u003cbr\u003e- Real-time interaction \u003cbr\u003e- External connectivity\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eHaptic sound generation through Acoustic Synthesis \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAcoustic 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.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIt is beyond “analogue vs digital”. It’s even beyond electronics.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e8 independent electromechanical voices with steel resonators are at the heart of the instrument’s acoustic sound. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSwapable and tunable steel resonators \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003ephase8 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.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe design allows you to easily swap and tune resonators, letting you customise the scale and character of your phase8.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cbr\u003ePolymetric rhythm sequencer \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAn intuitive sequencer supports both step programming and unquantized live recording. Each voice offers step skip for polymetric sequencing.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAll sequences can be saved and recalled across 8 memory slots. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eModulation modes\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eYou can cycle between three distinct amplitude modulation effects: tremolo and two audio rate, pitch-dependent modulation types. The last modulation effect can be optionally harmonically quantised.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eTrigger delay\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eUsing the instrument’s shift knob, you can add delayed triggers to the resonators relative to the selected or synced tempo. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eParameter automation\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAll controls on the instrument’s panel can be automated over a sequence using the record function. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eReal-time interaction \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBeyond adjusting parameters, phase8 invites physical interaction. Sculpt sound by touching, plucking, strumming, or tapping the resonators – or experiment by adding found objects for new textures.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe AIR slider lets you boost (or quiet) the acoustic response of whatever you bring in contact with the instrument. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eExternal connectivity\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBoth MIDI \/ USB-MIDI  and CV can be used to externally control the knob parameters.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003ephase8 can be tempo synchronized to other devices over MIDI \/ USB-MIDI and Sync.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eExternal MIDI devices can be used to trigger notes in the Acoustic Synth, and the sequencer can trigger notes in external MIDI instruments over MIDI \/ USB-MIDI.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThese connectivity options allow many possibilities for phase8 to integrate into any creative setup. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cbr\u003eSpecifications \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eInput \/ Output\u003cbr\u003eMIDI TRS-A In\/Out\u003cbr\u003eUSB-C (for USB-MIDI and firmware)\u003cbr\u003eSync In\/Out\u003cbr\u003e¼” Line Audio Out\u003cbr\u003e3.5mm Headphone Out\u003cbr\u003eCV In (+\/- 5V) \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003ePrograms\u003cbr\u003e8\u003cbr\u003eFirmware updates\u003cbr\u003eProduct page\u003cbr\u003ePower supply\u003cbr\u003eAC Adaptor (DC 12V)\u003cbr\u003ePower consumption\u003cbr\u003e4.8W\u003cbr\u003eDimensions (W x D x H)\u003cbr\u003e231 x 236.5 x 46mm\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWeight\u003cbr\u003e1.71kg\u003cbr\u003eIncluded items\u003cbr\u003eAC Adaptor\u003cbr\u003eHex Key\u003cbr\u003eQuick Start Guide\u003cbr\u003ePrecautions Sheet\u003cbr\u003e5 Additional Resonators\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Korg","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":44431153102941,"sku":"BM4959112250543","price":1519.05,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0736\/8179\/7213\/files\/Phase8_2.jpg?v=1778348809","url":"https:\/\/gearstage.store\/products\/korg-phase8-acoustic-synthesizer","provider":"GearStage","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
