Each CEO better have given him head on hands and knees in turn. However we know this effort was at least a partial failure because if they did the black magic procedure correctly Korg would have instantly transformed into Teenage Engineering.
He never said he was leaving Korg, only that he was leaving his position as lead synth designer. I'm pretty sure he said specifically he was staying at Korg.
I’m quite excited to see what korg comes up with other than menu-diving digital synths! I can’t help but think that Behringer has lit a fire under their asses :)
"Behringer has lit a fire under their asses" not even close. eurorack, Arturia and Korg have started the analog renaissance. B is just riding those waves.
Man, i see something beautiful emerging here. If i had not a allready basicly my dreamjob (working at a research institute as technican), this would be just the thing i'd like to join. Keep at it guys, it will take some time until it starts to bloom.
We want a new performance sampler based on the original ESX1, please. Just beef it up with more outputs, memory, maybe an analog filter, fatter synth engine and everything will be sweet. Still to this day nothing competes with the simplicity and immediacy of that red machine. Please dont change the sequencing architecture either. Its just too simple and absolutely perfect. Thankyou :) xxx
Some critics may say; give us a keybed with aftertouch at least. I extend this to a wider wish; give us innovative expression features in a powerful hybrid hi-tech environment. And find a way to less menu diving, but more hands on sound design controls.
One of the best things I’ve used to date is the te pocket operators. They just encourage you to make music and jam. The manual is one page. They are cheap and sound great. I like the fact a Korg do whacky stuff....like the Monopoly monopoly design. I also loved Korg Dsn12. So try to keep that fun thing in mind.....I would like to see Korg first to the post to do an a.r synth you can control with fingers through some glasses. Something a bit way out not done before. Is that the future.....
Yes, man, that would be amazing. Hell one with a more straight forward editing system would be pretty great. Still got to be the best bang for buck on the second hand market, or maybe the trinity plus. Prophecy hybrid would be killer though, more controllers and higher gain output.
@@statueoftheabyss6886 I still have my prophecy, but you're right the outputs were horrible, they broke so I had a local keyboard tech put in better higher gain ones and mounted them better, also I use midi quest to edit it, if they made a touchscreen editor or even a computer editor to go along with it it would improve the programming so much! Still love that thing though!
thirfy tash Nicely done. Regrettably, I sold mine (outputs and editing). I do think about a repurchase every so often though. Maybe with a reintroduction to moss they make a switchable prophecy / Z1 in a single unit. That certainly would draw my attention, add in a analog stage and just wow 😀.
@@statueoftheabyss6886 that would be sweet, I'd like to see the monologue or minilogue xd sequencer on it as well with motion recording especially per step recording! And audio inputs for external great processing through the analog stage but maybe even somehow through moss if that's even possible? Maybe even compete daw integrating through usb, maybe even some cv's? ... We're asking for a lot here 😂
thirfy tash 😂 maybe we are but love all those ideas. Something along the lines of Modals “Modal app” would rock. Let’s hope someone at Korg are now getting a 💡 moment 😂👍
it would be my dream to work there. but i’m not an engineer, i focus on user interface education and create media. i have a pretty large synth collection, and other instruments...
question......Who gets the hamster hole offices and will you use ABEC 5 or ABEC 7 precision bearings for their respective ‘wheels’? ps Tats’ you going to be at Superbooth, hopefully?
The good news for Korg is that it's finally dawned on people making electronic music, that VSTs are perfect for production, but real hardware is much more fun and useful for experimentation. Nobody wants to sit at the computer all the time. This is why you're seeing the rebirth of hardware and a general dislike for hardware menu diving. 1) Resynthesis. Load a waveform into a keyboard. The keyboard recreates the sound from analogue or digital oscillators, the sound can then be perfectly transposed and shaped. 2) Scanned synthesis. Load a sample into the keyboard. The keyboard picks 49 short loops from the sample and maps them at random (and at the correct pitch) to the 49 keys. This can actually be done on an XD or Prologue using Hammondeggs util, but it takes ages. I'd love to see these types of keyboards.
Great news for talented Berlin based engineers! But opening the office by the end of june sounds like a very overoptimistic plan. Actually, VERY overoptimistic : )
@@klozify Not all those are physical modeling. Also, what sounds are in your heads that you can't make with current synthesis or resampling? I love new tech and instruments too, but yall just silly.
Lol I love Takahashi but he seems like he’s struggling to figure out what he’s doing there, this interview seemed a little messy and unplannned. Also why are they in some rundown industrial building? So many questions, so much intrigue
I love their current office space. As long as the heat and air work, it looks inspiring. For certain values of “inspiring”, anyway. I hope they don’t build a Silicone Valley clone office. Boring.
Firstly, TE is a Swedish company. Secondly, Germany has a rich history of synthesizer creators and synth-based music, and the more the merrier. Thirdly, you should stick to what you know, because you obviously lack creative vision.

So happy he didn’t leave like he said he would. Korg are blessed to have him

Smelly Mala can you explain ?
@kps he left and started another company. Korg is absorbing the company he started.
How he got Korg JP to allow him this much freedom is kind of mind blowing. Hope they create something amazing.
isandov By being involved in some of the best & most popular korg products in recent history.
Serious techno machines incoming, shaping the future landscape of electronic music and beoyond!
He's still on with Korg? That's the best news I've heard in a while.
i like how in early korg demos tatsuya looks like a geek freshman and 6 years later he looks like a rock star
The dude is a rock star in our synth happy eyes
watching this for the first time today, and now slamming my head against the wall for missing this.
I’m quite excited to see what korg comes up with other than menu-diving digital synths! I can’t help but think that Behringer has lit a fire under their asses :)
Arturia started the fire one decade ago with Minibrute.
"Behringer has lit a fire under their asses"
not even close.
eurorack, Arturia and Korg have started the analog renaissance. B is just riding those waves.
Dude Tats is like my hero, glad to know he aint done making good ass synths
I’m a Korg fanboy. This is good news! A division specialising in new types of synthesis.
This is going to be awesome.
all volca models and capabilities in one beast hardware synth..
We’re now three years on, hopefully there’ll be some products coming out of this venture this year!
This totally Vulca-nized my otherwise mini-Log!!!
It tends to be epic when Tats swoops down to rescue the synth world :)
hell yes! go tats, really keen to see what comes of this (and jealous, that looks like it's gonna be an amazing place to work)
Man, i see something beautiful emerging here. If i had not a allready basicly my dreamjob (working at a research institute as technican), this would be just the thing i'd like to join.
Keep at it guys, it will take some time until it starts to bloom.
Heinbach applies for the win! And Meng Qi
Wouldnt mind a volca deluxe series.. more voices and polyphony for maybe a double wide form factor.
Always been a Korg fanboy. Thank you for the footage.
hopefully they come out with something soon
Hi Tats, I think the future of synths are in modular patch “presets”. Yeah! 🙂
Less menu-diving, more expression.
awesome video

Korg prophecy 2.0 with real analog, with acoustic physical modeling, but being able to cross modulate the acoustic with the analog!

So what is the new volca going to be? Volca blofeld? Volca FX? Volca Theremin? Volca lead? Volca lofi? Volca waveform?
nice video
My dream job
Make something like the nord modular but more powerful and combine all synthesis including true analog components.that would be fantastic!
I am looking forward for an intrestngly normaled semi modular synth.....
Very interesting. And its in....Berlin ;-)
Legend🙌🏻🥰🙌🏻
it would be my dream to work there. but i’m not an engineer, i focus on user interface education and create media. i have a pretty large synth collection, and other instruments...
Woohoo!
Please make new electribes!
YES like the original EMX ESX !!!
so much talent under long hair.
Build an 8 part Multi Timbral Prologue would you?!
question......Who gets the hamster hole offices and will you use ABEC 5 or ABEC 7 precision bearings for their respective ‘wheels’?
ps Tats’ you going to be at Superbooth, hopefully?
He was last year so here is hoping
how's this going right now?

*ваще круть !!!! а около моего дома построите такое чудеснейшее здание я буду жить в нём!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!*
What happenned the convolver??
Sonicstate sent me here.
they should go to Berghain, griessemülle, herrensauna[bad spelling], and so on for research purposes to make good machinery for what people need
Ya "research"
Pretty sure they do lol
Great news for talented Berlin based engineers!
But opening the office by the end of june sounds like a very overoptimistic plan. Actually, VERY overoptimistic : )
Tats/Korg. I love synths, I’m a beat maker, I love Berlin AND I’m a monster @ admin 😄
Tats!
Fuck all that.... Would Korg pick up on wherever they left their last Electribe??
Korg was so boring while he's left..! Glad to know he's back.
Did you forget about the Wavestate and the SDK for user created oscillators and effects found on the XD and NTS-1, or just don't care?
go on TATS an KORG - winners ! :-)
More Korg Arp 2600!! Just like people whom desire a remake of Diablo 2.. people just want KORG ARP 2600.
Young SanoDG
we need new types of synthesis
Have you checked out any of the following:
Wavestate
Plonk
Rings
Waverazor
Arbhar
Basimilus Iteritas Alter
4MS SWN
XAOC Odessa
@@milk_bath There is nothing new about physical modelling synthesis... it´s been around for over a decade.

Start coding and design your own!

I wish he use the new site to connect Africa to Korg, Tokyo was too far from the continent!

LIES!!! This was filmed in Alabama I tell you!!!
2:27 Do these look like Alabama car plates to you?
But we already have something outside the box there called Teenage Engineering. KORG should just stick to what they know.
Firstly, TE is a Swedish company.
Secondly, Germany has a rich history of synthesizer creators and synth-based music, and the more the merrier.
Thirdly, you should stick to what you know, because you obviously lack creative vision.
Are you the dude in the video? Calm down😄
