  • At NAMM 2024, SonicState had the opportunity to speak with Luke from Korg about the highly anticipated PS3300 synthesizer. With less than 50 of the original units produced, the PS3300 is a fully polyphonic analog synthesizer that pays homage to the original 48-voice model from 1977. Luke explains that the reissue was in response to years of requests from fans, and the collaboration with legendary designer Fumio Miyada ensured the authenticity of the instrument. Despite the downsized electronics and the use of new materials, the PS3300 retains its iconic sound and features, including presets and the ability to adjust temperament for each note. With MIDI and USB connectivity, the PS3300 also offers a librarian software for sound backup and customization. As for the pricing and availability, the details are yet to be confirmed, but it is expected to be a high-ticket and built-to-order item. It's even got 49 voices now, one more than the original.

    Tantalizing first glimpse. What a great design. I recall playing paul Epworth’s and it being one of the most magical synth moments I’ve had. This design is bonkers in a very good way. Peak poly. I’d love to see that come back. Imagine a UDO synth with 50 notes poly. Makes the mind and wallet boggle (can a wallet boggle?)

    I love how familiar that whole thing looks. ❤️ As a blessed MS20 owner back in the day, I always thanked KORG for allowing me to walk up to just about any other synthesizer and know how to use it. I’m sure the basics learned with operating an MS10 or 20 carried many a keyboardist into a session career playing all the favored analogs of the day. Thanks KORG!!

      @GizzyDillespee 5 місяців тому +4

      Yeah it sounds great, and it's not a great value proposition. It's so different from the other current analog polysynths that it would make sense for someone who likes nice things, even if they already have a Moog One, P10, Rhodes Mk8, Minimoog, and so on... it fits right in. You and me, we're not gonna get one, but that's okay. I don't have the room for it... so.eone else could dedicate a room to it, and a few other synths. Everyone's on a different path in life.

    That really is a fantastic synth. I’m happy Korg isn’t shying away from reissuing old classics in full analogue glory unlike Roland. Too expensive for me I’m afraid but I hope it brings happiness and creative joy to whomever acquires one.

    • @entropybentwhistle
      @entropybentwhistle 5 місяців тому +9

      Yeah, Roland is just pissing me off with their resistance to analog reissues. Everyone has done it but them. Korg, Moog, Sequential, Oberheim, ARP…all the old classics back for at least a short while. Real analog synths don’t require a GD subscription to operate, nor disappear when you quit paying for a subscription.

    I would use this for sound design purposes only and making fully use of its polyphonic power.

Nothing beats the analog Korg PS3300 !!!!

    There is one more significant difference between the reissue and the original not mentioned anywhere atm: Korg changed the design of the Envelope Generator 1 to ADSR, at the original it was an ADS envelope with switchable Release, that made the Sustain knob control the Release instead of Sustain. But I always thought that the EG1 is the weakest part of the synth and appreciate that Korg changed it to a more usual and handy ADSR.

I know because in 1979 I made a hi-fi cabinet of the very same material in school woodwork lessons.
