An emulation of the Megadrive's YM2612 sound chip. It's one of two new instruments (Gadgets) to be added to Korg Gadget on Switch. The other is a Taito/Zuntata based sound module/synthesizer. As you can see from these shots, the interfaces look fun and instantly want you to push their buttons. There's an online event next weekend from Korg showing off the instruments for the first time.
It's not the first time video game influenced instruments have made it into Korg Gadget. A few year ago, Namco teamed up and released Kamata, a wave table synthesizer.
A chunk of these were shown in the very first Nintendo Labo video so they’ve been around internally for a long time and hopefully would be well tested. But when you say they aren’t the best fit for VR, well obviously - I think anyone going in expecting any kind of real VR experience would be sadly disappointed in the same way someone would be if they went in expecting a car from their little cardboard wheel and pedal thing. I haven’t tried any of these Labo kits because I find the price prohibitive but I like that they exist and that they’re still doing them.

Unfortunately not. I don't have the Switch version (have it on iPad), and that allows midi connectivity. I will get it as these new instruments look to be possibly Switch exclusive?
One weird thing about the Switch version is the serious lack of touch screen functionality. It does have multiplayer and time limit mode, which could be fun.
