Korg Synths Korg Synths Korg began as a venture between unlikely business partners Tsutomu Katoh, a successful nightclub owner, and Tadashi Osanai, Japan's premier accordion player. Osanai had been frustrated by the limitations of his Wurlitzer Sideman with which he had been accompanying himself while performing at Katoh's club. Convinced he could build a superior instrument by drawing on his engineering skills learned at Tokyo University, Osanai approached Katoh to provide financial backing. In 1962, Katoh secured a factory in central Tokyo where Osanai and a team of four employees began work. The company was initially dubbed Keio Gijutsu Kenkyujo Ltd. by virtue of its being located alongside the Keio railway line but was later amended to Keio Electronic Laboratories. It would not be until 1968 that the name Korg would appear - which was arrived at by combining elements of "Keio" and "organ" and which also happened to contain the first letters of each founder's surname. Korg's biggest success came in 1988 with the release of its M1 Music Workstation. The M1 was unique in its combination of a keyboard, realistic PCM-ROM-based sounds, drum machine, sequencer and digital multi-effects in a single compact unit. With sales of approximately 250,000 it has become not only the world's best selling synth but also defined a new category of musical instruments: the music workstation.
