Korg Berlin is doing what they're doing because Korg Japan is giving Tatsuya Takahashi lots of breathing room. After he spearheaded the Volcas he needed a break and Korg let him transfer to Berlin to decompress and experiment at a slower pace. But at Superbooth Tats also said he doesn't have unlimited time to work on product, so this might be the last demo unit before something gets finalized for production.
The only take on Superbooth I need
🙏🙏🙏🫡🫡🫡
I hope that the Korg Phase 8 or whatever it becomes has Aphex Twin presets
Thanks for stopping by to meet us, and for all of the kind words about Groc!
Glad I saw it, nice work!
I notice that as time goes on I am enjoying your channel more. I enjoy how relaxed you are, how on topic you stay, and various subtle things that I can’t bother to name. You make a comfy place where I feel happy to hang out.
Can’t wait to play Guitar Hero FM
Oh my god it is
The love actually makes me understand FM, its WILD how they completely NAILED the interface, holy cow!
Yesss glad you can see that
Hello my name’s Chris, I love Jorb videos. You’re right the best part of SB is the people
Thanks so much for the shoutout! Your Wiggler clips sounded great
🙏🙏🙏 Can't wait to watch Wiggler get into more people's hands
I enjoy jorb videos.
Me too Edwin
My name's Jorb, and I love Fanta.
don't you want,
don't you want,
don't you want
a fanta..........?
Orange pop, whether it’s Crush, Hi-C, Fanta, Shasta, Sunkist, etceterah, etceterah, is the cocaine of sodas. I’m pretty sure the red dye number 4 (or whatever number it is) they put in it isn’t for colour, but to make people crazy. Jorb was still coherent here, so he’s either not finished it yet or has built up a tolerance from years if addiction.
I've been red 40 maxing for years, it doesn't even phase me
Euro fanta hits different
Cunnigton from Argentina blow Fanta away
Lovely overview of an intense 3 days Jorb!
Cheers Mark, can't wait to hang out again
Been looking forward to your walkthrough!
🙏🙏🙏
Love the Wiggler; Love the Love. Love gear.... Happy to be here Jorb. :)
Hey same
THANK YOU for showing the love device. Not much content out there about this.
The brute looks amaaaazing. The kind of synth that years from now people will mention in the same breath as the Jupiter and CS.
Many thanks for a fantastic overview!
🙏🙏Happy to be doing it
Thanks jorb. Appreciate all the hard work
🫡🫡🫡🙏🙏🙏
thanks for your takes on this stuff jorb, appreciate your ears
Love your videos man! You make great content and seem like a genuinely nice guy. I dig your style! Cheers 🤘
Great work on the vid!
Thanks Dave!
Was great to meet you, can't wait to see and hear what you come up with.
Great review! I love you Job and I love that you love gear. Thanks for sharing your passion and the passion of those synth makers out there!
🙏🙏🙏🫡🫡
Oh! The Arturia still has the touch strip. I couldn’t see it, so wasn’t sure if they integrated it into the wood or just replaced it with the polyphonic expression control. Nice to see the strip is still there.
Even though I have no interest in a big analogue, I already have mine and I’m committed to it for life.
That FM synthesiser is cool, but I wish it were 6-op! I love the custom algorithm creation being so direct and easy.
Normally i can see the point of 4op FM when it's a face programmable synthesizer not a preset one, just so you don't have an explosion in the number of Programs (Operator permutations) that get difficult to remember and make sense of. But these guys have figured out the wiring in an intuitive way. Perhaps there is another usability limit, like, that it becomes really tangled potentially? But by all reason you can have something like drag and drop sorting of Operators so you can untangle it somewhat.
I can see the problem that well let's say you have two columns of Operators, each houses 3. Then if you run a connection from first to the last one in the column, it appears to run through the middle one which is not actually connected. Maybe the Operators need to be arranged like a hexagon, so the middle one is further out. Maybe you can just have a limitation that you can not connect from the first to the last, and odds are, you can still do just about all the usual things. You can still zigzag lace with the other column for those longer operator chains. Actually, looking at the DX7 Programs, there's 32 of them, i can't see even one which couldn't be done this way. Number 4 is tricky but it my mind, it works.
But yeah 6op sound is just so massive if you let it, and 4op misses out on that, will always sound a little too much like a Megadrive but thinner, because that one had horrible analogue distortion which actually helps it along a little. More like Sharp X68000. Not that these sound bad, but like, it's nice to have the capability to go beyond that.
@@SianaGearz yeah, exactly re the Mega Drive. I like that sound, but there’s so many chiptune trackers etc which can do Mega Drive sound. 6op stuff by contrast feels more worthy of hardware to me.
Re the interface postulating; I think if you drag across two operators and it would deceptively cross across, it could be programmed to run around the outside or something.
To be honest I hadn’t realised the 4 operators are stuck in those corners, so I’d intuitively just imagined picking them up and grouping them for visual management and stuff. Which I guess is now a feature request, even for only 4 haha. And for 6 I’d certainly imagined them being in a circle/hexagon at init.
@@kaitlyn__L They're not gonna make it 6op, or they'd have to rename it from LOVE to FIANCÉ.
@@SianaGearz haha yeah. I guess I mean in a hypothetical sequel or something. Product development doesn’t pivot at this stage anyway
@@kaitlyn__L I don't think they made the tooling yet. It looks to me like the prototype is 3D printed, puttied, sanded and painted. Nicely done though of course.
Not sure how we weren't subbed, good stuff 🎹
the Love FM is such a brilliant approach to the (as you said) well known/documented issue with FM in general - it's inherently counterintuitive nature. Not to mention it just *looks* like something you'd see in the year 2024, utterly futuristic to breath-taking degrees (there's a "Take My Breath Away" DX7 joke in there somewhere). & yeah that Polybrute, I already know Carpenter Brut about to unload all sorts of heavy/spooky crazy on us with that thing, even the demo screamed "My names Carpenter 'French-dude' Brut & I love horror soundtracks".
Be safe in Europe man! I hear they like to throw acid around those parts & I'm not talkin 303 basslines 👀🤣
🙏🙏🫡🫡
Great hangin'!
Ayyy Stu, absolutely agreed. I'll see you at knobcon!
Hi my names Jorb and I love beer with BoBeats!!
😉
😭😂 I actually do
Witnessed!!! Especially Teenage Engineering beer (cans made out of the same rare kryptonian aluminium they use for the OP1 Field production) 😄 Greets!
I want the Wiggler, but with a piano keyboard - like the Ondioline!!!
And I want Korg to make a big Rhodes-like piano with that technology!!!
OMG!!!
Thank you Jorb for telling me about the Wiggler on friday!
The Love Synth looks super fun. I hope they consider making an app. I’d gladly pay a premium price for it.
Korg phase 8 is on my mind
Having seen your SB summary makes me feel less bad for the 13 reasons I couldn’t, and probably never will, get to go to SB. Hugs, your newest subscriber.

Awesome video!
🙏🙏🙏
Welcome to Berlin. I hear of this festival for the first time. Hope you got the time to experience Berlin as a whole.
Greetings from Berlin
I had an excellent time, it's a really wonderful city
@@JorbLovesGear I'm glad you liked it. I unfortunately missed the festival. Argh.. we'll maybe see each other next year.
@@JorbLovesGear What was the best thing that you experienced or learned?
@@thallrudedjentstorm1756 the Döner 😂😂😂😭😭😭
@@JorbLovesGear It's always the Döner lmao
My name is Martin and I love Jorb’s videos 😀
🙏🙏🙏
It was great meeting you at the wiggler booth. I was really impressed with that one myself. I think the other ones I really liked was the Horizon and the twisted electronics twist fm.
The Korg synth with the tines is definitely the most interesting thing to me right now.
Think what a genius Leo Fender was for inventing the Korg Phase 8.
Harold rhodes was really cooking
Hi. Just wondered if your Take5 goes out of tune often, requiring recalibration of the oscillators? Has happened often since I have owned it. I love this thing though. Perfectly compliments my Prophet 12.😎
Not really, it is temperature sensitive & you should calibrate when it's already warmed up
But mine stays in tune well
Man can’t thank you enough for reviewing these. An this might sound random but thanks for cutting out all the swallowing. I can’t watch some videos in general because of those mouth sounds, so thank you hahah
Lmao yeah. That's the price of a close dynamic mic, we enter the asmr zone
OMGOSH!!! YOU GOT REEEEEEEAL FANTA!!!!!! 😳 that is Crazy-
Sweet Gear, I knew you would deliver
The fanta really hit
That Korg thing reminds me of the type of wild shit Vestax would come up with in the mid 00s (Faderboard, QFO, Controller One) but aimed at synth nerds rather than turntablists. Really sick seeing them step out of standard synth (or even instrument) architecture and go somewhere weird. I don't think I'll personally have a need for one but I hope that thing does well with performers.
Excellent stuff! Speaking of magnets, have you seen the Flux that Vlad over at Soma is working on? That also looks quite intriguing.
As for big synths, and you might've mentioned it last year, but thoughts on the Gemini given your love for the Super 6? I guess I can go hunting your video from last year :)
Good on you and Bo for bringing some smaller makers and opinions to the surface. Sonic state and Synth Anatomy have the "giant hose of news updates" on lock, and other creators I find get too wound up in the positive (Sanjay C for example) - not a bad thing, but a bit sugary for me.
Thanks for loving gear as usual Jorb :)
Didn't get to see flux, but people loved it, wish I had made it.
I think the super 8 and gemini are just too much for me, i want to see them go smaller, honestly.
Cheers
@@JorbLovesGear That's totally fair! It's interesting to see folks not want them without immediately having complaints, just actual good reasonings :)
Any one know of you can run
Max Msp on that bettlecrab joint
or its open source
Cool Vigeo
It isn't open source, no. Maybe midi out that you could bring into max?
I assume that the PolyBrute 2 is perhaps a glimpse at the MIDI 2.0 version of the KeyLab series. Also hoping the Wiggler guys can figure out how to make that into a controller rather than synth. While the synth part is interesting, I think the controller market is probably much more likely to turn into a money maker for them.
Any thoughts on Supercritical’s Redshift 6?
Didn't get to try it, but heard a lot of people talk highly of it.
For some reason doesn't really excite me
@@JorbLovesGear Fair enough, I was curious, thank you! So many synths I want to purchase now 😂
I spy a Kinotone t-shirt!
PB12 is basically 2XPB6 plus the swank keybed. Full range Z with split capabilities once you hit the AT sensor is cool to be sure, but will other polyAT synths like Hydrasynth be able to replicate it with a firmware bump? Meanwhile PB12 has all the shortcomings of PB6. (Shared source lanes for morphee, 1 pair of outs, mediocre effects, and Steiner Parker + Moog instead of SEM + 2140) Would far rather have seen a consolidated interface PB6 desktop a year+ ago for south of $1700 and a keylab mk3 with this keybed. Initially fairly impressed with TEO-5. Too bad for "segment differentiation" reasons the designers were not allowed things like respond to MPE, bi-timbral, modern LFOs since they are just digital (fade in/out, phase, "N" shot), and maybe even 4 quadrant multiplier/voice for actual ring mod (and AM) instead of that digital crap. Still easily under $2k and now mindblowing instead of just pretty cool.
Jorb has legs?!?!?
EASY
First Cuckoo’s chin reveal, now this. Synthtuber glow-up!
the first love looks like a vst but in real life
Yyeeah it really does
The Jorb Take is the Only Take.
I really like the idea of the Korg phase 8 but I’m not sure how it is going to actually be a flexible instrument. I mean it’s like a small chunk of an electric piano, but I think they need at least 4 octaves of tines personally I do, and then it needs motion recording like volcas. I’m at a loss for really seeing what they are going for with the device beciase it almost seems like a volca fm could cover the same territory.
I'm in the market for a bass synth. Sub37, bass station 2 or the minitaur are what I'm looking at. They all have a purpose but how useful in a rap and hip hop mix could these be? I'd prefer not to spend another 2k but if it's the best then it's the best and I'll work a corner one night 😂 oh and I don't care about leads just want a bass I can use on any rap or hip hop track
@1:21 Glad I'm not the _only one_ that still uses the *Go Mixer* 😂 If it's _good enough_ for Jorb, It's _good enough_ for me! 😎
@14:00 "The only *gain of civilisation* for _mankind_ is a _greater capacity_ for a more _variety of sensations_ - and *absolutely nothing more."* 🧐
~ Fyodor Dostoyevsky,
RedMeansRecording did a GREAT showcase of that Tempera chopping and effecting breakbeats, looks like it’s SUPER playable
I hope you met Adam from BoredBrain modular… he’s the best!
Briefly had met at knobcon, actually. Yeah totally
👌

With the Poly8, Korg has the second most interesting concept at Superbooth 2024, after Vlad Kreimer's Flux. However, I'm not quite sure about the sound yet. The instrument is literally crying out for a completely different size and therefore a much more interesting sound. After all, a handpan sounds so good because it has a lot more mass that can be made to vibrate.
did you check out the Super 8?
I did, it feels fantastic, but just like the others.
Poly AT upgrade for the og super six is the most exciting bit I think.
I wish they would do something that deviates more, you know? A mono with that voice architecture would kill
Do new Super 6s come with Poly AT? Or do you always have to buy the upgrade/install yourself?
@@joshtackett I asked on their forum, new ones will not come with it.
@@JohnLunney good to know thanks!
I don’t think the polybrute has an inspiring sound. Sounds like it is missing something every time I hear it.
I don't feel the same, but have heard that
@@JorbLovesGear I see, I’m glad I’m not the only one that thinks that but to each his own.
Every video I see of this has a very high shrill sound. I think the polybrute sounds much better. I hope it is just people don’t know how to use this thing, but I’m not impressed with what I hear.
Of what?
A WEAPON TO SURPASS METAL GEAR?
Fanta? 😅
Yeah it's yummy
Its an antisemtic dog whistle
@@urzathehappy72 is that real?
@@JorbLovesGear coke invented fanta to sell to nazi germany :p
@@JorbLovesGear youtube deleted my comment. Fanta was created by coke to sell to nazis
It seems ever year all gear becomes more like a toy. I miss the old times where gear was rigid and had a hands on feeling.

I just hope most electronic musicians grab a copy of Curtis Roads microsounds, learn a bit of supercollider, csound, chuck, pd, max, whatever and use this synthesis/processing technique at it's best. I am just tired of seeing all these granulation hardware.
50 million new synths, guitars, drum machines and effects released every year. Not to mention plugins. Yet somehow there's absolutely zero new music.
How many times have we heard "so many opportunities for expression" but the music released is still (badly) emulating what we had 4 decades ago. As for UA-cam videos: this goes boing boing, only $10k, to gather dust or you can release something that sounds worse than noise.
If you dare say OK but where's the music?
- Oh no, we don't do that here!
Are you saying there has been zero music released in the last year? None? And that no artist has taken advantage of any new technology since 1980?
Are you serious?
I saw live electronic music every night I was in Berlin, played on modern and vintage equipment. And how many songs a year justifies an instrument to you?
How many songs per dollar makes someone legit?
Why do you get to decide what's a legitimate use of someone else's time energy and money?
yeah so youtube gear influencers are old, tired, and gone bye... you don't need to spend all the money you need to make music. ever notice ow all the gear influencers have no or sh !t music? yeah first clue...
Wait im not old
@@JorbLovesGear Little tired maybe? 😂 Superbooth was awesome though back next year for sure its more like an interesting hang than a trade show.. Never a dull moment in Berlin also..
Nothing, that is substantially new. I guess one would get bored of the wiggler very quickly and the korg thing is just a joke, but i guess everything is just cool. No substance to the instruments and no substance to the reviewers and presenters.
Yeah that jorb guy is such bullshit
Is it me or do all arturia synths sound kinda shit
I really don't think so
