Korg re-introduces physical PS-3300

PS-3300 is an exactingly faithful virtual analog emulation of the massive semi-modular analog polyphonic synthesizer released by Korg in 1977.

Korg re-introduces physical PS-3300

Post by timg11 »

A non-working prototype was shown at NAMM.

Link here

It is claimed to be a "Authentic Recreation With Modern Additions". I have been unable to find any details on the specific additions. It is not likely to be a big seller with a price of $13K USD, but may raise awareness of the 3300 in general and thus interest in CA's offering.

I hope CA will track this new device, and maybe adopt some of the additions in a future update of the CA version of the PS-3300.

One addition, a biggie, is patch memories. "New panel memory function (16 programs per bank and 16 banks = 256 slots)"

I watched a few YouTube videos of the PS-3300 reissue played at NAMM. It sounds great.

Also, I really like the looks of the PS-3300; it's like the modular with the early 80's aesthetics to it. I know it was designed in the 70's, but in the early 80's, everything cool was created in the late 70's. Like YMO's first few albums. At least that's how I remember it (I'm originally from Japan)

I've been on a Voltage Modular binge lately, but watching the NAMM PS-3300 videos certainly has me thinking about CA PS-3300...!
