| In the early 1960s, Korg's founder, Tsutomu Katoh, was a nightclub proprietor. Tadashi Osanai, a noted Japanese accordionist, regularly performed at his club using a Wurlitzer "Sideman" rhythm machine. Osanai, was dissatisfied with the Wurlitzer machine, and certain that he could build a better rhythm machine himself, convinced Katoh to finance his efforts. Today, Mr. Katoh is still dedicated to providing musicians with new and better Korg instruments with which to express their creativity. |
