Korg's new compact synth is also a self-playing percussion instrument.
Instead of just including a library of pre-recorded samples captured from percussion instruments like marimbas and xylophones, Korg Berlin 's Phase8 features eight 'replaceable and tunable metal resonators' that are played using electromechanical triggers.
