1977 Korg PS-3100 Analog Semi-Modular Synthesizer Part 1

This is an exploration of one of the most complex and interesting analog polyphonic synthesizers. PS series Korgs are rare and examples of them are few, so I decided to make a video demonstrating some of the sounds and capabilities. The theme music at the beginning was composed using the PS-3100 as the only sound source, without any effect or EQing. Feel free to link to this video or post it on your page, but please give me credit by marking it "by Marc Doty." Thanks!

Vintage synths will always RULE no matter how much software ones exist or how good they could be!

Yeah, and if a Triton broke, you'd have a lot of free PCBs... and if software "broke" you'd have nothing.

Uh, yeah... and broken glass is WAY cheaper than diamonds... ; )

wow imagine if that thing broke somehow, you would have a load of free potentiometers and switches omg

so true, nothing compares to the real thing, but a lot of the time software is very cheap in comparison to the real thing.

I see, you are some kind of collector of these. Sound of this relic-wooden-buzzer is very basic, shallow and not-fat to be gentle to that thing and btw, Wiki 'Korg' it is not even an American company, man.

Oh, absolutely. Wood can be replaced by chipboard with decals. Handcarved wood ornamentation can be replaced with molded resin. Painting can be faked with software, too. In fact, writing, performing, engineering and production can all be easily faked with software. Welcome to the Garage Band era. If you think "replacement" is occurring, it merely demonstrates that you are unaware of the value of quality and craftsmanship.

this 'machinery' can be completelly replaced by single cheap notebook these days, analog soft synths ftw
