A New Form of Synthesis from Korg!? | Superbooth 2023

[@derekfernandez7701]

As exciting as it is to hear about this revolutionary new form of synthesis - I'm most excited to see Jack reunited with Luke from Korg! 😍

[@DaraM73]

There’s a Cuckoo in the nest!

Korg! On the Electro-Acoustic Resonator. (There's a name suggestion to start with "E.A.R!") Firstly I love it! Been working on something similar. My suggestions for the finished instrument: Must haves; A full envelope (ADSR) / Real Spring reverb / Filter / LFO. Would be Awesomes; Bucket Brigade Delay that can loop (per note) / Individual attenuation per note (resonator) / cv in per note (for modulation,) tuning (pot with a middle snap) per note. And a manual tamper stick of some kind, (think a guitar tremolo) I love it as is, and can live without some of those, but the ADSR is a must.

Jack and Luke from Korg the best duo out there

[@edwardjons8684]

Gamechanger really have changed the game- this awesome new acoustic synth seems to be taking some inspiration from what those Latvian dudes have been doing. More please!

[@KirklandWilliamsWorkout3000]

The Boys are back In town! Luke and Jack 🔥

[@richardfrailing2529]

I just hope the world doesn't end before this revolutionizes synthesis in a way that returns musicians to the joy of tangibility. Fingers crossed!

[@seoverus7805]

I spotted a True Cuckoo :)

[@wolfchan4389]

noticed that myself!

[@michaels8607]

Korg makes monster gear..I have this tiny synth from them and it's wild..

[@MrBluGruv]

If there were a version of the microKorg engine in a physical keyboard form with at least 8 voices, I think it would truly still hold up today. It's nice that the price hasn't substantially increased since launch, if at all really adjusted for inflation, but even for $400-500, 4 voices is quite limiting, and this is coming from someone who got one in 2003 and still owns that same one. The closest I had read at one point in time was supposedly you could chain two MS2000 units together as A-B where they would interpret every other midi note as a note to play (basically one unit plays every even key press and the other every odd), effectively giving you 8 voices if you combine the outputs, but it's been far too long to be able to confirm that.

An acoustic synth.... that's impressive.🗽🤖

[@cheapnoiseinthehouse5578]

Oh yes! I can't wait to get my hand on this new synthesis.

[@Naotaku]

Yeey, it's Luke from Korg! :D

[@geecen]

MK still got it. My first synth which I sold a few years ago. It goes to show that a great digital design can be timeless.

[@ntro9347]

mini keys, lack of control. It should've been the MS2K that survived this long, as it was the superior synth (using the same engine).

[@Lespaulman987]

​@@ntro9347 The MS2000 was also huge, heavy, and prone to broken keys and knobs. I haven't played one without some kind of problem. The Micro was portable, durable, easy to learn, and don't forget every other company copied the form factor. The 2010s were full of cheap micro synths, but the microkorg has stood the test of time.

[@ntro9347]

@@Lespaulman987 that's anecdotal as I never had an issue with them. I can't say that the plague of micro keys and having less control is a good thing either. But I guess that is par for the course when these days everything is dumbed down to the most common denominator.

[@baked88]

Tats! 🙏🏻❤️ (edit: is a genius)

[@SteelObelisk]

Another episode of can it play funk with Jack.

[@Twelve50TV]

So upset my Microkorg original just died wont power on after i changed studio location :(

[@christoroppolo8742]

So what’s the deal with Korg gadget?! Their greatly ignored daw? Will they ever update and improve it? ✌️👽

[@Juksemakeren]

The KORG dust magnet

[@nixonkutz3018]

Always a hoot just to hear Jack hittin' it. And ooh I know what convolution is too

[@michaelstaniak8238]

Cicada with a little more control.

[@plutostube]

why no real demo like the visitors had? :)

[@middle_pickup]

So glad I watched the whole 10 minute video to hear 10 seconds of lav mic of this new synth. Excellent work, boys.

[@jackduxbury1632]

We weren’t allowed to take a direct feed brother - I did ask - Promise! ✊

[@middle_pickup]

@@jackduxbury1632 That's understandable. Teasing us out for a full 10 mins of our lives with this edit is not. I don't mean to be harsh. Just saying.

[@ChrisP3000x]

@@middle_pickup You should ask for a refund.

[@middle_pickup]

@@ChrisP3000x in effect, I kind of am. Just specifically for future videos that could also be edited the same way this was to hook you for the full view without delivering on the headline.

[@ChrisP3000x]

@@middle_pickup So how did it go? Did you get a refund?

[@billyellow4849]

Strips of metal vibrating in a magnetic field? They've only gone and invented the Hohner Clavinet! 😄

[@avetisk]

WHYYY is Korg always so secretive about their new syyyyynths? Whyyyyy???

[@Justsobusy]

Korg is trash

[@suga4all]

So, is a Rhodes piano now also considered an acoustic synth? 😅

[@annother3350]

Does the thing need a blind person to tune it?!

[@nonchai]

utterly daft. this could and SHOULD have been done in software - this is pure retro-analogue fetish

[@gaoeykreg]

So because it’s not up your street, it’s wrong? Gotcha. Thanks for clearing that up for us all.

[@djjuno106]

I want one of those led stands the crystal korg is on…-anyone know where I can get one?
