"Fully polyphonic synthesizer with 48 simultaneous keys.

Description

The Korg PS-3200 is an analog polyphonic synthesizer made by the Japanese company Korg in the late 1970s. It features 48-note polyphony, 16 patch memories, and multiple LFOs and envelope generators. Its greatest feature was that each keyboard key had its own oscillator, allowing simultaneous pronunciation of all keys, something that had never been done before.

This function made it possible to produce complex, orchestral-like chords, making it an extremely powerful monster machine for its time. However, in order to achieve these specifications, it required as many circuits as the number of keys on the keyboard, so the main unit weighed more than 33 kg. The 32 knob settings that determine the tones can be memorized completely, and even when the power switch is turned off, they will not be lost semi-permanently. Furthermore, when each knob that can be memorized is pulled, the memory is canceled, and the instrument can be temporarily readjusted. The synthesizer itself has a completely independent SG (VCO group), a 7-element equalizer for final tone adjustment, and a modulation balance that can simultaneously modulate oscillation frequency and tone by mixing periodic changes from the modulation generator and staircase changes from the sample-and-hold. The modulation balance and other features are added.
