Highlights

The legendary KORG PS-3300.

Introduced in 1977, the original PS-3300 was a unique and magnificent instrument. The semi-modular predecessor to the MS-20, it boasted a remarkable 144 independent synthesizer voices–three for each of its 48 keys. Renowned for its huge, lush, and unmistakable sound, it captivated pioneering artists including Kraftwerk, Jean-Michel Jarre, Keith Emerson, and Aphex Twin. With fewer than 50 of the original units made, it may be the rarest and most sought-after synthesizer ever created.

In 2024, KORG announced the new limited-edition PS-3300 reissue: artfully hand-crafted, physically imposing, and with a sound every bit as distinctive as the original. Of course, it also features modern improvements, such as extensive MIDI control and program storage. Now, KORG is pleased to present the first true re-creation of this legendary synthesizer in software: the KORG Collection PS-3300.

As one of the very first polyphonic synths, the PS-3300 did practically everything differently. It boasted unorthodox filters, octave-divider oscillators, distinctive envelopes, unconventional modulation, a three-layer design, and a semi-modular patch panel. Its three-band resonators not only generated vocal and string timbres, but could also be modulated for phaser, wah, and other dynamic effects. Variations in analog components meant that each of the 144 voices had its own quirks, creating rich, organic, and not-entirely-predictable sounds.

KORG’s proprietary CMT technology faithfully reproduces the whole of this experience - unlike any other software instrument.

Modeled and enhanced

While this is by far the best-sounding and most accurate software version of the PS-3300 (see below for more details), we didn’t stop there. We’ve also implemented a host of improvements and modifications while preserving its unique character, including:

- Choice of modeled filters: the refined and gentlemanly PS-3300, or the aggressive MS-20
- Option to have separate envelopes for filter and amplitude, or to use a single envelope as on the original
- For all envelopes, a choice of modeled PS-3300 or modern exp/log shapes
- Additional Modulation Processors, including a Multiplier, Attenuverter, and Lag Processor
- Additional Modulation Generators (aka LFOs)
- Stereo pan, with modulation, for the three synth units
- Modeled Ensemble effect from the PS-3100 and PS-3200
- White and Pink Noise available directly from the Signal Generator (aka oscillator)
- Sample and Hold available directly from Modulation Generators
- Option to link inter-panel oscillator phase, for string synth and combo organ sounds
- Tempo sync options in all appropriate places
- Expanded pitch range–a superset of the vintage and reissue keyboards, plus an extra fifth in the bass
- Built-in mults for all output jacks
- …and many other small but useful enhancements

Easy to learn

Unlike a modular synth, cables are completely optional on the PS-3300; you can make incredible sounds just by moving the knobs. When you do use cables, they show the signal flow direction, and inapplicable patch points fade into the background. On-screen help has information and useful tips for every knob, switch, and jack.

Extensive MIDI control

The KORG Collection PS-3300 includes three different mechanisms for MIDI control. First, you can introduce MIDI signals directly via the patch panel, including aftertouch, mod wheel, pitch bend, and the X-Y Manipulator. There’s also a 30-slot mod-matrix for modulating parameters from MIDI sources. Finally, MIDI Mapping lets you directly move sliders, knobs, and buttons from your favorite MIDI controller.

Effects

The PS-3300 had two smaller siblings, the PS-3200 and PS-3100. Neither had the richness of the PS-3300’s three layered voices, and so they added an Ensemble effect instead. As befits the PS series, it both sounded great and had an unusual design. We couldn’t resist including it on the patch panel of the KORG Collection PS-3300.
In addition to the modeled Ensemble, we’ve included three insert effects and a dedicated reverb slot. There are 31 effects types to choose from, including everything from vintage pedals, guitar amps, and tape delay to modern reverse delays and shimmer reverb.
