PS-3300 是 KORG 于 1977 年发布的巨大且极其罕见的半模块化模拟复调合成器的完全忠实的虚拟模拟仿真。樱桃音响 已竭尽全力准确地重新创建和更新这个神话般的怪物合成器，从其巨大的堆叠的声音特征和标志性的多谐振器扫频具有相当大的修补功能，使 PS-3300 与同时代所有其他复音合成器区分开来。
在日本…以及其他地方都很受欢迎
在发布其著名的 MS 单合成器系列之前，庆应义塾电子研究所（以 KORG 品牌名称）推出了 Polyphonic 系列模拟合成器。其中最大、最昂贵的是大型 PS-3300，这是一款 1977 年至 1981 年间生产的传奇合成器。它被广泛认为是有史以来最稀有的模拟合成器之一，生产了大约 50 台。凭借其半模块化设计、灵活的架构以及丰富的声音演变音色的倾向，PS-3300 通常被视为复调模拟合成器的圣杯。
PS-3300 独特的架构使其从当时少数可用的复音合成器中脱颖而出。它有三个独立的“信号发生器”面板，每个面板本质上都是一个完整的复调合成器。每个合成器面板都包含 12 个独立可调分频振荡器组以及每个音符的独立离散 VCF、包络发生器和 VCA。这使得外部键盘的所有 48 个键能够以独立的发音同时演奏。每个发生器的双 LFO 和三重电压可控谐振器进一步塑造了其标志性音色。专用的主面板配有一个混音器，三个语音面板均配有 VCA、采样和保持、一个额外的包络发生器和两个控制电压处理器。它还通过令人惊叹的 67 个前面板输入/输出插孔提供了广泛的调制可能性。总的来说，PS-3300 是如此强大和革命性，甚至连 Bob Moog 都印象深刻，称它是“最适合丰富声音的合成器”。
PS-3300 的高生产成本意味着只有最富有的音乐家才能买得起它，从而增加了它的稀有性和神秘感。其宽广而大胆的声音被描述为合成器管弦乐队，使其成为专业音乐家和收藏家备受追捧的乐器。几十年来，Vangelis、Jean-Michel Jarre、Aphex Twin、Kraftwerk、Klaus Schulze、Keith Emerson 和 Space 等开创性艺术家的采用进一步增强了它的受欢迎程度。Korg 于 1977 年以 7,500 美元的价格推出了 PS-3300，如今它变得如此稀有和令人垂涎，以至于 2021 年售价近 100,000 美元！

PS-3300 is an exactingly faithful virtual analog emulation of the colossal and ultra-rare semi-modular analog polyphonic synthesizer released by KORG in 1977. Cherry Audio has pulled out all the stops to accurately recreate and update this mythical monster synth, from its massive stacked sonic character and signature multiple‑resonator sweeps to the considerable patching capabilities that distinguished the PS-3300 from all other polysynths of the era.
Big in Japan… and everywhere else
Before releasing its renowned line of MS monosynths, Keio Electronic Laboratories (under the KORG brand name) introduced its Polyphonic Series of analog synthesizers. The largest and most expensive was the massive PS-3300, a legendary synthesizer produced between 1977 and 1981. It is widely considered one of the most rare analog synthesizers ever made, with around 50 units produced. With its semi-modular design, flexible architecture, and a propensity for rich, sonically evolving timbres, the PS-3300 is often regarded as the holy grail of polyphonic analog synths.
PS-3300’s unique architecture set it apart from the handful of polysynths available at the time. It had three independent “signal generator” panels, each essentially a complete polyphonic synthesizer. Each of these synth panels included 12 independently tunable divide-down oscillator banks as well as independent discrete VCFs, envelope generators, and VCAs for every note. This enabled all 48 keys of the external keyboard to be simultaneously played with independent articulation. Dual LFOs and triple voltage‑controllable resonators for each generator further shaped its signature tone. A dedicated master panel featured a mixer with VCAs for each of the three voice panels, sample & hold, an additional envelope generator, and two control voltage processors. It also delivered extensive modulation possibilities through an astounding 67 front-panel input/output jacks. Taken as a whole, the PS-3300 was so powerful and revolutionary that even Bob Moog was impressed, stating that it was, “the best synthesizer for fat sounds.”
The PS-3300’s high production cost meant that only the wealthiest musicians could afford it, thus adding to its rarity and mystique. Its broad and bold sound, described as an orchestra of synthesizers, has made it a highly sought-after instrument by professional musicians and collectors alike. Its adoption by groundbreaking artists such as Vangelis, Jean-Michel Jarre, Aphex Twin, Kraftwerk, Klaus Schulze, Keith Emerson, and Space has further bolstered its popularity over the decades. Korg introduced the PS-3300 at $7,500 in 1977, and it is now so rare and coveted that one sold for nearly $100,000 in 2021!
