Playing KORG’s phase8, acoustic synth, with videos (mine and others)

KORG’s phase8, engineered by the skunkworks office in Berlin, has found some visibility. But what does it mean as an actual electroacoustic instrument? What’s it like to play? My Lemonade Stand video from Superbooth is out, along with others, so I thought I’d do some reflection

Sinevibes update puts every effect on every ‘logue KORG

Sinevibes has been cheering on KORG gear as much as KORG themselves. Now they’re bringing the entire range of 20+ effects to prologue, minilogue xd, NTS-1, NTS-1 mkII, NTS-3, and microKORG2 — plus you get major sonic updates for the Eternal flanger and Shift frequency shifter.

Sinevibes Quarta: 10 FX, 4 zones on the pocket-sized NTS-3 kaoss pad

Korg’s NTS-3 is an absolute joy — a cute, pocket-sized, inexpensive kit that you can load up with custom effects. But that gets even more interesting once you add Sinevibes’ library of effects. And now you get one especially created for the X/Y pad. I’ve been testing a prerelease build, and this is a return to everything that I love about kaoss. And oops — here’s the perfect pocket live/DJ effect.
