KORG is credited with a number of innovations. The "key transpose" function was Tsutomu Kato idea after a singer at his club needed her accompaniment played in a lower key, which the accompanist wasn't able to do. KORG was the first company to feature effects on a synthesizer, and the first to use a "sample + synthesis" sound design. At one point KORG was part of Yamaha Corporation.

Fascinating.
