Behold, the legendary PS-3100 from Korg! Launched in 1977 when true polysynth affordability was still a dream, this very rare vintage synth stands as a sophisticated alternative to the Moog Polymoog, Yamaha CS80, and Oberheim machines that dominated the era.
The PS-3100 features built-in multi-stage chorus effect that gives the instrument a lush, swirling sound, patch panel that allows custom signal routing to override the internal pre-patched configuration, responsive 48-note keyboard, pitch-bend wheel with trigger button providing expressive performance control, three-peak voltage-controllable resonators that add rich, complex harmonic texturing, and micro tuning via temperament adjustment knobs to tune individual notes to historical or custom microtonal scales. And perhaps most unique feature of all, each note on the keyboard has its own filter, envelope and share of a divide‑down oscillator In short, this thing is a synth monster capable of deep, multi‑layered sonic landscapes!
This Korg PS-3100 is one of only a few hundred ever made and really is an analog synth for serious synthesizer players seeking authentic vintage polyphonic sound and the tactile, modular approach that defined the golden age of analog synthesis. Noted users include greats like Kraftwerk and Röyksopp to neo-classical composers like Nils Frahm and Ólafur Arnalds which really speaks to this instrument's true range.
