"KORG PS-3200 Programmable Polyphonic Synthesizer from Musik Studio! This is a sound monster, perhaps one of the last amazing analogue synths from the 70ties!
Hans Zimmer used it as well as Keith Emerson in Nassau or J.M.Jarre in Paris. So,its working and in good condition,got it from Germanys greatest dance performer til nowadays. But there are some faults,one key of the keyboard ,the G3 is dead completely(think only the key is damaged and gets no contact) and there are two voices from the 48 damaged, the D and E, but its polyphonically so its damaged in all octaves.But the sound from signal Generator 2 fills that out,so you can play it but on the missing keys the sound gets thinner and in the higher ranges there s a high frequent sound on the missing keys. There was a upgrade kit for the voices from Touched by Sound in Nürnberg,about 180 Euros i think,but don t know if that is still available! Anyway ,its a great machine,we only used it the last years as sample source for our EMU E IV s. And there s a great experimental field using the temperamental adjust knobs to play with different scales ,not mentioning the sound,its absolutely amazing. And the amplitude modulation even creates sounds like human voice etc Of course the PS-3010 polyphonic Keyboard is included with joystick and patchcords for modulating the filters etc and theres a second 60 pin connector included to sync to your second PS-3200 or 3100. That keyboard weights about 10 kg ,the PS 35 kg,so i have to send in two packages,so hava look for shipping costs,Germany about 35-40 all together,Europe about 65-70 with Iloxx. Think a copied manual must sleep in the dephth of my studio rooms but without guarantee!
SPECS: 48 Voices
Oscilators(here called signal generator) 2VCO per voice
Misc. 7 band EQ
Filter 24 db lowpass filter with resonance
VCA ADSR Envelope
Keyboard 48 keys
Memory 16 Patches,battery puffered
Control CV/ GATE
DATE 1977
Value 300 made worldwide,about 3-4000 pounds
So, at the end the memory has 16 sounds but really weird,i think it s the battery which is low, i never used the memory because i like to experiment and thats the sense of such machine. And i forgot, for editing you have to pull the knobs of that section for example the filter knob, etc etc, the machine is in good condition only the wooden sides would need some polishing."
