Built on KORG’s latest Acoustic Synthesis technology, phase8 delivers haptic sound generation through physically vibrating steel resonators—then extends that organic source with envelope shaping, sequencing, analogue wavefolding, pitch-dependent modulation, and automation. The result is an instrument that feels alive in your hands and reacts to touch, acoustic feedback, and the environment around it.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e8-voice acoustic synthesizer powered by KORG Acoustic Synthesis\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eHaptic sound generation using independent electromechanical voices with steel resonators\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eSwappable and tunable resonators for custom scales and character\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003ePolymetric rhythm sequencer with step programming and unquantized live recording\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e3 modulation modes including tremolo and pitch-dependent audio-rate options\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eOptional harmonic quantization for advanced modulation textures\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eTrigger delay for tempo-relative delayed strikes and rhythmic movement\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eParameter automation: record and replay panel control movements per sequence\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eReal-time physical interaction: touch, pluck, strum, tap, and experiment with found objects\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eAIR slider boosts or reduces acoustic response for expressive “in-the-room” control\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eExternal control and sync via MIDI\/USB-MIDI, CV, and Sync I\/O\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch4\u003eAcoustic Synthesis That You Can Feel\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003ephase8 uses physically vibrating bodies to generate sound, enhanced with the kind of electronic control you’d expect from a modern synthesizer.

Shape everything from short, percussive strikes to long sustained tones with envelope control, then easily swap and tune resonators to customize the scale and overall character of your instrument.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\n\u003ch4\u003ePolymetric Sequencing, Modulation, And Motion\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAn intuitive sequencer supports both step programming and unquantized live recording, with per-voice step skip for polymetric patterns. Add motion with three amplitude modulation effects (including pitch-dependent audio-rate options), dial in delayed triggers relative to tempo, and automate any front-panel control over a sequence using the record function.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eBuilt For Real-World Play And Creative Setups\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003ephase8 invites hands-on experimentation: touch, pluck, strum, or tap resonators—or introduce found objects for new textures. With MIDI\/USB-MIDI, CV control, and Sync I\/O, it integrates easily into hybrid rigs. External MIDI can trigger phase8 notes, and the onboard sequencer can drive external MIDI instruments for a tightly connected creative workflow.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eSPECIFICATIONS\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eVoices: 8 (Acoustic Synthesis, electromechanical with steel resonators)\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eResonators: 13 chromatically tuned included; 8 installable at one time\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003ePrograms: 8\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eI\/O: MIDI TRS-A In\/Out; USB-C (USB-MIDI + firmware); Sync In\/Out; 1\/4\" Line Out; 3.5mm Headphone Out; CV In (+\/- 5V)\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003ePower Supply: AC Adaptor (DC 12V)\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003ePower Consumption: 4.8W\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eDimensions (W x D x H): 231 x 236.5 x 46 mm\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eWeight: 1.71 kg\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eIncluded Items: AC Adaptor; Hex Key; Quick Start Guide; Precautions Sheet; 5 Additional Resonator\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\n\n\n\nManufacturer: Korg USA\u003cbr\u003eModel: PHASE8LE\u003cbr\u003eSKU: I881639-N-0-WHXB\u003cbr\u003eUPC: 670716024913\u003cbr\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eWe are Chuck Levin's Washington Music Center\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eSince 1958, Chuck Levin’s Washington Music Center has been the trusted destination for musicians and audio professionals across Maryland, Virginia, and Washington, D.C.
