"This beautiful ES-50 Lambda was made by Korg in 1979 to replace and combine the two earlier instruments of the Polyphonic Ensemble series, the PE-1000 keyboard synth and the PE-2000 string machine. I have owned this one, serial number 234404, since the mid-1990's. Its textures are so lush that the running joke at our studio was that it sounded way bigger than the giant PS-3300 that it shared a stand with. The envelopes are truly polyphonic, not paraphonic, so notes don't abruptly cut off in weird places like ARP and Roland machines of the same era."
