Korg was founded in 1962 in Tokyo by Tsutomu Kato and Tadashi Osanai as Keio Gijutsu Kenkyujo Ltd. Initially focusing on organs and rhythm machines, Korg became pioneers in electronic music technology. They released groundbreaking synthesizers throughout the 1970s and 1980s, establishing themselves as innovators in the industry.
The 1980s marked a golden period with the introduction of legendary instruments like the M1 workstation and Wavestation synthesizer. Korg quickly expanded dramatically, producing some of the first affordable digital recorders and physical-modelling instruments. Today, Korg continues to influence music technology, producing synthesizers, digital pianos, effects units and tuners.
