@@faneflip I really like the trick of the player pro tracker sequences using PS3300 and sounds created with MetaSynth 2.0, with the 12 polyphony voices and with the polygon window Album.
It managed full key polyphony by divide down tech within the oscs. Considered inferior sounding to the normal vcos. The polymoog I believe also used this design too for which it was slanted for. What this really means is that when these synths are used as monos they sound poor and feable with little harmonics for the filter to work at But as polys they sound full. String synths also the same tech.
The PS-3300 has 12 VCOs per voice panel, which are each divided successively by 2,4 etc to get the lower octaves, so all the notes in a chromatic scale are actually from separate VCOs - only the octaves will be in-phase. This is quite different from single chip divide-down technology used in organs, where all the pitches are derived from a single clock oscillator.
@@petegreenwood2793 I stand corrected then. Really thought it was organ tech in there. Gosh they got all that in one box. No wonder it was big. Makes the cs80 look like a baby.
I can't think of a track that uses all 48 voices off hand. Seems like tremendous overkill. Though that won't stop me from picking up a copy of this sometime after I learn all my 2023 gear.
Cherry audio's Ps3300 is my first modular anything gear.
I ❤ it.
Aphex twin has 3 PS3300 units, he uses it in all his songs.
Not all off course, but used them in Fenix funk 5

Ill have to try the demo and compare to the free Full Bucket version.......Check out all full bucket synths also.

It's a nice synth, but utterly baffling to anyone (including me) who has trouble visualizing where these patch cords should connect.
