"La presenza forte di @Kodamo al @SOUNDMIT ha davvero aggiunto un tocco speciale, soprattutto considerando che li abbiamo già avuti con noi nelle edizioni passate. Questi ragazzi dalla Francia sono i cervelli dietro al Bit Masking, una nuova forma di sintesi digitale che hanno introdotto per la prima volta nella tastiera Mask1, presentata in anteprima mondiale al Soundmit 2022. E tra le chicche che ci hanno svelato, c'è anche il piano di tirare fuori un synth compatto, probabilmente con una combinazione di FM e Samples!

@Kodamo's strong presence at @SOUNDMIT has truly added a special touch, especially considering we've already had them with us in past editions. These folks from France are the masterminds behind Bit Masking, a new form of digital synthesis they first introduced in the Mask1 keyboard, showcased worldwide for the first time at Soundmit 2022. And among the goodies they've shared, there's also the plan to unveil a compact synth, probably featuring a mix of FM and Samples!

KORG Reveals Upcoming PS-3300 FS

Update: I'm hearing the PS-3300 will be available in late 2024, built-to-order, for an etimated price of $13,000.

KORG is bringing out a full-size reissue of the PS-3300. Details follow.

The PS-3300 FS is a full-scale reissue of the original Korg PS-3300, a legendary and ultra-rare synthesizer designed by legendary Korg engineer Fumio Mieda and produced by Korg in very limited numbers from 1977 to 1981.

The PS-3300 FS reissue marks a new milestone in synth history, and the latest achievement by the same Korg engineering team that brought back iconic machines such as the MS-20, ARP ODYSSEY, miniKORG 700 FS and ARP 2600.

“Bringing back to life these legendary machines is not only a process of reproducing circuits and sounds, but also of learning and embracing the essence of the philosophy and development of synthesizers.

Through this project I was able to relive the history of Korg and a critical moment in the evolution of our synthesizers. This was an extremely valuable experience that provided an opportunity for Korg's philosophy and technology to be carried on to future generations.”

- Yoshihito Yamada, Chief Engineer of Korg Analog Synthesizers

Key features
49 keys / 49 voice analog polyphony (the original model had 48 keys / voices)

3 Layers: The PS-3300 consists of three synthesizer units (PSU-3301) and a mixer & utility section (PSU-3302)

Three independent oscillators, plus multiple filters, envelopes and amplifiers for every note on its keyboard, for a total of 147 synth voices of raw analog power

Microtuning knob x12 on each PSU-3301 unit

New panel memory function (16 programs per bank and 16 banks = 256 slots)

Modernised for contemporary music use with the inclusion of USB / MIDI jacks, and a dedicated librarian app for easy preset management

Semi-modular

3-Band Resonator: Three frequency bands can be emphasised, a feature unique to the PS-3300 (original was a Cadmium sulfide circuit, but it was replaced with modern components for safety and to comply with regulations)

Keyboard unit (PS-3010) included

You can find an audio demo on KORG's website here.

"Racing around the Sun.
This modular synth project is a single take to Cubase. Every sound is from the 5U modular with the exception of the pad effects by the use of a Strymon Blue Sky and Empress Reverb.
The Noise sweep sound is a Joyo Classic Flanger pedal."
