Korg USA's Joe Castronovo Joins NAMM Urging Congress to Exclude Tariffs

(SEATED L-R Joe Castronovo, Jake Connolly. STANDING L-R: NY Representative Tom Souzzi, and Melissa Heche)

Press release follows:

Joseph Castronovo, President of Korg USA Joins NAMM's Washington DC Advocacy Fly-In Urging Congress to Exclude Musical Instruments, Components and Materials from Tariffs

MELVILLE, NY – On Wednesday, May 13, 2026, Joe Castronovo from Korg USA joined a delegation of NAMM (National Association of Music Merchants) Members, music industry leaders, and advocacy partners to meet with members of Congress and urge relief from tariffs on musical instruments, accessories, components and raw materials. The 20th NAMM Advocacy D.C. Fly-In welcomed new and returning advocates from all over the U.S., including 100 music business leaders and professionals representing all 50 states. Joe Castronovo from Korg USA represented the state of New York as part of the delegation advocating for tariff relief that would benefit music retailers, manufacturers, educators, and students nationwide.

“Each time we come back to Washington, it reinforces how important it is for our industry to speak with one unified voice. These conversations matter - lawmakers are listening more closely, and there’s a growing understanding of how tariffs impact a highly global, specialized supply chain like ours.

But the reality is, tariffs don’t just affect manufacturers - they directly impact small retailers, increase costs for customers, and make it harder for students and first-time players to access music. That’s why it’s so important to be here: to connect policy decisions to real-world consequences and advocate for solutions that protect both our industry and access to music.” Joe Castronovo

Tariffs on musical instruments and related products threaten to raise costs for music retailers, schools, and students at a time when access to music education has never been more important. NAMM Members traveled to Capitol Hill to make the case directly to lawmakers that tariff exemptions for music products protect American jobs, support music educators, and keep instruments accessible for the next generation of musicians.

Korg PS-3100 with delay and GEG (general envelope generator) modulation #analogiapl #korgps3100

video upload by analogia pl

"In this video, I’m using my own 3100 to show a trick: I’m playing a melody but whenever I press 4 or more keys, the sound is detuned thanks to a module called GEG. I’m also using delay with fairly long feedback, so when 3100 signal gets to normal, you can still hear detuned delay tail."

Fugue for My Drum Machine (Piano and Electribe ER-1)

video upload by Hank Mason

"The Korg Electribe ER-1 has 4 voltage-controlled oscillators — the exact number needed for a 4-voice fugue. So I wrote one. Because it seemed like one of the dumbest things I could do with a drum machine.

This is a Prelude and Fugue for the ER-1, performed live with piano accompaniment on an early 1900s Krakauer Bros. grand piano.

Korg Wavestate - "Glitch Textures" Soundset (44 Performances)

video upload by LFOstore

"Inspired by the golden era of intelligent electronic music (IDM), including projects as Autechre, early Aphex Twin, The Orb, Plaid, Telefon Tel Aviv and others, Glitch Textures is a meticulously crafted collection of 44 performances for Korg Wavestate. This soundset captures the very essence of classic IDM: the warmth of analog imperfections, the hypnotic beauty of broken beats, and the deep emotional resonance of glitched melodies. Every preset is a portal into a world where digital errors become musical virtues.

Harnessing the Wavestate‘s wave sequencing, we have harmonized glitches, clicks, stutters, and data degradation with lush and evolving soundscapes. You won‘t find random noise here — instead, you’ll discover intelligent imperfections: polyrhythmic sequences that breathe, pads that drift organically out of tune, and leads that sound like cherished childhood toys struggling to remember a melody.

As a sound designer for Access Music, Native Instruments, and Modal Electronics, OttO K. Schwarz poured his passion for experimental electronics into every preset. Many performances feature multi-layered setups, rhythmic textures and melodic phrases — perfect for live performance and deep studio exploration.

All presets are finely tuned for real-time expression: modulation wheel and velocity give you intuitive control over several parametres. Whether you‘re scoring the film, producing IDM, ambient, or experimental electronica, “Glitch Textures” offers a unique palette of sounds that are both beautifully broken and surprisingly musical.
