Deep in the forest of Superbooth earlier this month, Korg showed off some up-and-coming gems, if you knew where to look. That included a compact NTS mixer, updated Sinevibes effects for Korg gear, and add-ons for the phase8 “acoustic synthesizer,” including effects you can 3D-print. I’ve done some digging on what it’s about.

Korg’s Berlin office has established a regular presence at Superbooth in a wooded area just outside the main stage. This year’s theme was a lemonade stand, with regular performances of invited guests on the phase8. That included myself, Tom, Late Snack, Fabian & Zufu, Lukas, Liam, Le Sec, Kyle Dixon, and the legendary Cuckoo — a mix of friends and Korg Berlin’s own team. (I’ll let you know when those videos arrive.)

Into the woods!
