"The Bit-01 is a 6-voice programmable polyphonic analog synthesizer with digital control developed by Crumar. It is essentially a rackmount version of the Bit-99 keyboard synthesizer. It has two analog oscillators per voice that are digitally stabilized and controlled. Also on-board are resonant filters, ADSR envelopes and two LFOs. Fairly easy hands-on editing and a layer/split function make this a very useable poly-synth! The MIDI implementation is basic but useable and there are 99 memory patches. The Bit-01 is well suited for studio use and in all forms of electronic music."

"Vintage programmable & MIDI equipped preset 6 voice polyphonic analogue synthesizer. The JX-3P shares the same great analogue filters and VCAs as the JUNO and even the JUPITER series. Just like the JUNO, it’s a six voice polyphonic feeding digitally controlled oscillators (DCOs) through analogue filters, envelopes and amps. However, the JX-3P has two oscillators per voice instead of one. Made in Japan.

The PG-200 was designed by Roland to simplify programming for the Roland JX-3P, MKS-30, and GR-700, streamlining the process significantly. Even for those well-versed in analogue synthesis, the PG-200 opens the door to unexpected creative moments, often leading to the discovery of unique and inspiring sounds."

KORG PS-3300 - FUMIO MIEDA INTERVIEW


video upload by Korg

"One of the rarest and most coveted synthesizers in music history, the PS-3300, is back.

Between 1977 and 1981, the original PS-3300 carved out a legendary place in music history. With fewer than 50 units made, its lush, expansive sounds appeared on just a handful of recordings - making it one of the rarest and most sought-after synths in history. Today, original models are almost impossible to find, cementing its status as a true “phantom” of the analog world.

This video is an interview with Fumio Mieda, the developer of the original PS-3300 and technical supervisor of the new PS-3300."
