Stoked to get this – Korg Phase 8 – I’ve only had a couple of jams with it so far, plugged into my bass rig it sounds great!! Having the tines exposed is the whole point although the attack pop if striking them directly is harsh, as per the photo I was trying using 1/4″ tape to dampen them…

As above I had it sitting on a conga, and if I lightly tapped the conga drum skin it would trigger a chord from the Phase 8. Felt a bit like playing RINGS module…

As I did a pre-order for it, Korg included three custom tines. I haven’t installed them yet but they are tiny – that ruler is in mm. I will find my callipers & measure the thickness but I’d suspect they are only 1mm thick, so I’ll scale some of the tongues for the Daxophone from the Daxo font and get some laser cut. But first I need to RTFM – the sequencer has some very fun interactive aspects to it…

Also need to patch it through some distortion and get in the mode of Konono Nᵒ1
