The KORG PS-3300 Returns!

[@AlexBallMusic]

A note - Korg have asked that I make it clear that this unit is their working prototype and that the release date and price of production units is still to be finalised at the time of uploading and that they will announce that officially themselves in due course. Thanks for your understanding.

[@pakey423]

I'm still wondering how to pre-order a PS-3300 or to sign in for a pre-order. I can't find any information on that. Especially not in the country were I live.

[@strangehermitage2299]

That's nice, hun.

[@zedudli]

Ok so this is a production unit and it’s out next month. Got it 👍🏻

[@HenritheHorse]

@@zedudli It's out now! I ordered 10.

[@spaceman103]

@HenritheHorse Still 3290 left

[@cromulence]

The fact that KORG has actually committed to making this is bonkers. It’s nice that there is a company truly in it for the musicians and not just chasing the cheapest profit making box.

[@AlexBallMusic]

Yep! The easiest thing to not even entertain, but they have and they did.

[@PWMaarten]

Korg has always been an innovative company. Makers of my favorite synths (that I can afford, anyway)

[@MagnitudePerson]

@@PWMaarten Modern KORG isn't a good as this.. I wish companies would realize no on wants a digital synth in a box, thats what VSTs are for really. If you're gonna get people to buy musical hardware make it 100% 1970s-1981 in terms of raw organic sounding synth and unclean hardware samplers. All this modern tech is only ruining electronic music

[@lifelies]

Yep, Korg is great - even for digital accordion as Roland just dropped more then 10yrs ago any improvement on FR8x and luckily Korg just overtaken this amazin instrument. Yes, hefty price but it's Korg so what

[@Toolsquatch]

I swear, if you taught a synth masterclass I'd be in the front row every day: the history, the information, the demonstrations that help us understand what makes these synthesizers stand out...fabulous as always, thank you!

[@AlexBallMusic]

If money was no object, I'd have a vintage synth museum kind of setup where I'd hang around all day recording synths and people could book time and turn up and record their own stuff and I could be on hand if they needed any help.

[@toi_techno]

Most of the time I find really expensive stuff that only rich people can afford irritating but sometimes the things are so cool I'm just glad they exist

[@AlexBallMusic]

Yeah, can't knock this. People say "company X should reissue crazy synth Y" from their history all the time and Korg really took that to the extreme here. Love it.

[@ptkelly80]

I could never afford one anyways, but reading that it was going to be built to order was pretty disappointing, though understandable I guess. It might end up being as rare as the original.

[@chriszanf]

@@AlexBallMusic Same with reissuing the ARP stuff as well. Theyve done 2 versions of the ARP 2600 with the full scale and the mini.

[@artisan002]

@@AlexBallMusic Related to the "crazy synth Y" part, I'm unreasonably excited for their acoustic synth they're been working on.

[@The_CGA]

I try to think of things like this in installations, like a library, a university music school, an auditorium, or…just like old times with an organ…a church (not that they’re gonna get me thru the door to noodle on this thing…)

[@jimmy_jamesjams_a_lot4171]

You, of all, Alex, have obviously honored them with so many demonstrations and exhibitions of these rare synthesizers, that Korg obviously wishes to honor you by giving you reciprocation for your efforts! No man whom I can think of can demonstrate these machines with the genuine enthusiasm and passion that you could provide. And what you do with them, it’s always more than I could hope for. Now I want 3 filters for each of my keys!

[@supercompooper]

I've seen many demonstrations of this but this one actually is excellent and really shows off the heart of this instrument. Thank you so much.

[@LisaBellaDonnaMusic]

Incredible video Alex!! Such a truly remarkable instrument. Only had an opportunity to use one many years ago, but it made a life-long lasting impression. Again, wonderfully done (as always). Crazy to think the Vannelli Brothers took THREE of these out on the road back in 78/79.

[@AlexBallMusic]

Thanks Lisa! They took three on tour? And I thought Zawinul's duel 2600s were crazy. A different world.

[@Knightsnare]

Hey Alex, I just wanted to say how much I love your videos! You really nail everything - the way you break down the history, composition, and technical aspects is spot on. Your jams are incredible, and even the color grading is super cool! ‘Studio Tour’ has been like dancing around in my head for the last month. Keep up the amazing work!

[@HOLLASOUNDS]

There is nobody who has the knowledge and experience to actually speak on these classic synths that actually speaks on these synths as Alex. We should remember that He does not actually have to do KZbin at all because He is successful enough on his own so thats think are selfs lucky He comes on here with this gold.

Alex, your demo music/performances are such a refreshing change from the load of boring and uninspired demo material that is all over KZbin. This is a fantastic synth, and you honor it with this video. Thanks for the great peek into this marvelous synth!

[@jdrukman]

I am fortunate to be in a band with a guy who owns an original ps3300. We used it a lot on our last record. It’s a completely unique and utterly bonkers machine. I’m so happy they are reissuing it now.

[@electronictiger]

Alex, I think you are the perfect candidate to showcase this old behemoth reborn, considering your love for old Korg synths. So congratulations on that! As always, excellent stuff. Well done!!

[@AlexBallMusic]

Cheers! Yeah, was over to the moon to snag it for a video.

[@carlosserrano3985]

I agree 💯

[@joeanderson8839]

I had a poly 61. It is so important to have the ability to store and recall sounds and settings easily when it comes to playing live. I would love to have one of these.

[@AlexBallMusic]

Never played one. Any good?

[@BrucePercyPhoto]

A machine I drooled over in the Korg brochures I used to get through the post as a teenager. Always dreaming of what it would sound like. It's an amazing feat to see Korg reissue this machine. Alex you always do a fantastic job of demo'ing the machines. I always prefer a working track to get an idea. Nice an catchy too :-)

[@Vim-Wolf]

Your jams .... ❤ For the first time I really understand why so much fuss is made about this behemoth.

[@heimlichvonbladderburst8348]

On the subject of temperaments, it has always impressed me that Korg still implement temperaments in modern digital synths. My Z1 and Radias both (if my ancient brain remembers correctly) have custom temperaments. If you want to know what the fuss is about, try using Pure Major and play some Major triads - it sounds so so sweet! Once you've heard that, you'll realise how dirty the equal temperament major is. If you've got a Korg with custom temperaments, you owe it to yourself to try them out.

[@petergorges6163]

Brilliant video. The PS-3300 always had a special place in my heart, and your video shows it so well, and it warms my heart to see Mr. Mieda featured in it. Thanks Alex!

[@AlexBallMusic]

He looks like he has more energy than all of us put together and he's in his 80s! What a legend.

[@leonpage2777]

Vintage Korg synths are legendary, they deserve all the respect they get. 🙂

[@donwrangler]

Thanks to you and Korg! 🙌🙌🙌

[@musiqtee]

Yes, Alex - we indeed achieved those lush synth-arrangements by the mid-80s… What we really struggled to do, was capable sequenced drums (drummers didn’t apply for a while…), you know just before the S-900 made multi sampling “cheap” enough. A Linn, Synclavier or Fairlight made it happen for the big ticket heroes, sure. So, I wasn’t able to use such high-end gear until ‘88, in London’s Advision and Nomis studios. No big ticket for us, though…😅 Funny enough, I didn’t know about the PS-3300, although all my “heroes” had independently used them. How that could be, after reading 100’s of Studio Magazine and SoS back then is a conundrum… As always, huge thanks for sharing…! 👍

[@northern_plastics]

This is amazing, I really hope it inspires more full size reissues of legendary instruments from synth manufactures! (Looking at you Roland…)

[@AlexBallMusic]

VK-9 with Revo 30?

[@entropybentwhistle]

“Good luck, buddy. I’ve been barking up that tree for seventeen years!” - Peter Griffin Roland seems the only company too obtuse to put out authentic analogue re-releases. They have completely missed the boat, while Sequential has done the Prophet 5/10; Oberheim a board that covers the OB-X, Xa, 8 and SEM box; Korg has done this, the 700, the MS-20 as well as ARP’s Odyssey and 2600; Moog has done their full modular 10, 15 and 55 as well as the MiniMoog model D…and now the whole phase of analogue revival seems to be winding down and Roland did…emulation VSTs in a box, and even poisoned that concept more by trying to make it a subscription model. You never have to worry about renewing a bloody sub on a dedicated analogue synth.

[@macdaddybender]

I wish Korg would just reissue a full size MS-20 and leave it in production

[@BGTsoundandvision]

My day to day job is moving and installing high end fine art. Occasionally we get tasked with moving things that are delicate and unusual. One recent job we had was moving a synth collection. When I went to do the site inspection to make measurements for the crates to be built I noticed that he had not one but two 3300s among many other amazing synths. While I was doing my thing the client was very impressed with my knowledge of synth history for a guitar player. I told a owe it all to Alex Ball and his KZbin channel. Thank you for all that you do.

[@AlexBallMusic]

Jeepers. That's amazing. I wonder how they wound up with two of them? I'm very happy to have provided the useless information you needed to talk vintage synths. 😀

[@billwolfer4020]

When I worked at Guitar Center in LA in 1978-79, we had a PS 3300 on the floor. I used to love tinkering with it. The sound was so cool. Nicely done video!

[@deansmith852]

Opening jam. Ooooo that squelchy bass sound and those lovely high strings, very nice. Sweet synth.

That's the most impressive sounding synth I've heard in a long time. Glad it's being reissued sounds like a winner

[@leeselectronicwidgets]

I was lucky enough to play the PS-3100 at SMEM a couple of months ago, but this video detailing the 3300 is brilliant, thanks!

[@leeselectronicwidgets]

And I also thought it was interesting that Korg survived the temperament adjustment into the M1 too...

[@DJKL]

As always, the musicality of your compositions enhance the beauty of the explanations.

Wow. what a beautiful machine Alex and I know you felt in love by the way you look at it and I definitely understand, there's a TON of possibilities and the sound is a dream. Thanks for the video, you bring quality as always.

[@Winterdagen]

The part from 13:11 gave me instant goosebumps, love that sound SO much!

[@HJPhilippi]

I'm speechless again and again where all your musical ideas come from. You have a very fine sense and talent creating "tiny musicals" (nothing less) to illustrate the capabilities of those synths. I could listen for hours!

[@AlexBallMusic]

Thank you! I've written music for TV for a long time now and that's essentially writing endless short pieces, so this feels very normal in that sense. Really enjoy being able to do little tunes on KZbin, my favourite thing about it.

[@HJPhilippi]

@@AlexBallMusic Yes, one can hear and feel that you really enjoy this! To something completely different: have you ever thought of doing exactly this on stage? I think it could be a very cool and unique format: reviewing synths and playing your sweet little pieces live!!! Think about it. I would be there and many others, too, I bet! 😎

[@RinnEryr]

13:12 That’s the most beautifully fragile sound I heard coming from a vintage analogue synthesiser. The PolyBrute is really capable of going there, but it just misses the immediate temperament adjustment like the KORG. Great video, Alex. And I love you team up this synth with the KORG drum machine. Love that snaredrum.

[@supertakumar4728]

It's really cool to see the heritage of this synth in the newer Korg "logue" synthesizers serie, like the microtonal features for exemple. edit : great video by the way, the music is very cool as always.

[@nicennice]

Alex your videos are just insanely good. Some of the best content anywhere. There is some serious love gone into that synth. And Ryuichi Sakamoto used one on "One Thousand Knives" which I have been listening to a lot since he passed. Brilliant.

There's only one man that could do a review of this unit justice. Chapeau Siralex!

[@markpatrick4662]

I remember when I bought my first synth - a Korg MonoPoly (perhaps not the easiest to start with!) - seeing the Korg brochure of the time and wondering what these enormous exotic looking beasts were. Thanks for uncovering the mystery for me, and kudos to Korg for bringing such incredible hardware back to life. That brochure inspired me so much I ended up adding a Delta, PolySix and later an M1 to my equipment list. Next up is to replace my ageing RD300 with the Nautilus 88. Incidentally, the Korg plugins of those early synths are also very good! Thanks for the video.

[@ZanBizar]

Thx Alex what a beautiful track at the beginning!

[@atarkus8]

Fantastic demo Alex. I was hoping it would wind up in your hands to at least test out. As far as famous users go I think the French 70s band "Space" needs an honorable mention here. You can see the 3300 in the video for "just blue" (along with a ton of other Korg gear) and I have a feeling it's the main synth on the first couple of albums, despite them doing publicity shots with a lot of Moogs.

[@AlexBallMusic]

Ah yes, Space! Thanks for the reminder.

[@baward]

Just because synth x is in the video, it does not mean that it was used for the recording unfortunately. Vintage Top Of The Pops clips are notable for this, with just 'a synth' being rented from Maurice Plaquet substituting.

[@atarkus8]

@@baward In this case you can see a small picture of the PS3300 in the liner notes, there's a shot of the studio there. Along with Marouani saying they used a "Korg synth". There's also an obvious use of the resonator in "blue tears". Otherwise I agree, bands could mime with whatever gear happened to be around.

[@freightlorris9624]

I have no clue about Synthesizers. But I love to hear a dedicated man talk about these machines as well as listen to his demos. I wish you would play these demos songs even longer 😊

[@Ksrwilhelm]

Hats off to Korg for pulling off such an insane project! It's heartening to see a large company such as Korg paying that level of respect to their history and the legacy of one of the great pioneers of the electronic age of music, Mr Mieda.

[@AlexBallMusic]

Yeah, imagine how easy it would have been to just brush this off and not do it and who would have blamed them?

[@DestroyER82]

Unsure if they used it in same fashion in reissue as well.. But its even more freaking cool than people even know, because the resonators (and not only them) are actually not voltage controlled, they are LIGHT!! controlled (using a light sources and photoresistors!). Master oscilator and divide down are quite interesting choice, because they knew well how to make VCO's (Korg monosynths) and for example PE-1000 had discrete oscilator per key. I guess it was tradeoff for them being actually able to fit it all into that case as well as not really worrying about possible oscilator drifting when all that stacked up electronics got heated up. Fascinating technology, 70's synths, best synths. ;-) THank you for showcasing, all the best!

[@AlexBallMusic]

Wow that's brilliant information, thank you! I knew about the per-key thing as I did a video with the PE-1000 after a friend had just replaced a zillion capacitors when servicing it and he showed me how it was designed. Bonkers.

[@DestroyER82]

@@AlexBallMusic I was repairing friends PE-1000 earlier this year and wow indeed, its soooo full of "stuff"! :) And I really liked it, such a charming playable unique instrument (spent quite some time playing it after the fixes were done).

[@Pepijn_a.k.a._Akikaze]

Johannes Schmoelling borrowed Edgar Froese 's PS-3300 when he auditioned for Tangerine Dream. He used Oliver Grall's PS on the album Iconic with his band SAW, whom I will be watching playing live tomorrow. Space used one. The French band Lightwave has one. The Spanish musician Rafael Saez has both a 3300 and a 3200. Hans Zimmer has had one for a long time. Cherry Audio make such a cheap software version that I find it hard to justify the high price tag of the real deal, but then I might. Thanks for the first interesting music I heard made with this reissue.

[@russellyoung6498]

My mind is officially blown. Thank you Alex for a wonderful video.

[@AviPFine]

All i can say is wow!! The one thing that probably blew me away the most when i started learning about this synth is definitely the temperament adjust. and with the audio rate modulation to be polyphonically consonant, has got to be both challenging and rewarding when designing sound. I actually didn't realize the adjust knobs extended to audio rate polyphony which is even more amazing Fantastic demo ! Love to hear it being properly patched! I hope it will not be as much as I've heard them say, but at least i can enjoy the software version for now.

[@ceceemacgee6924]

Everything about this is so cool but the temperament adjustment (and your accompanying demonstrations of that) left me absolutely gobsmacked. Like, there's no way this will be even remotely in a price range I can afford, but maaaaaan is this something to behold.

Cool video as usual, thanks Alex. This monster synth deserved it and you showed well what it can do soundwise.

Oof, your intro jam is fire 🔥…that chorus part where it opens up is freakin’ transcendent. Your videos never disappoint. I’m sure Martin Gore will be excited to own this synth. (And a few bankers, i suppose.) Guess I’ll have to stick with the Cherry Audio plugin, which sounds great to me.

[@AlexBallMusic]

Thanks very much! I've got the Cherry plug-in and it's really well done.

[@HANGINGOUTWITHAUDIOPHILES]

The fact RDJ had 3 is just wild. I believe there is a tuning mode on the prophet 5 where you can you panel controls to alter temperament but it’s annoying to do and I love that this instrument invites that. Just love the format of this machine. Feels like korg need to release a eurorack resonator for sure. It would be excellent if they released a euro format step Down poly oscillator actually. This is something that’s not easy to find. I guess for it to be useful it would need a fair bit of extra stuff and would end up being a big module but.. a taste of the 3300 for a bigger audience perhaps ? Great video as always !!

[@AlexBallMusic]

Yo! Yeah, good point. Lots of component bits could be split out into discrete modules. The Ryk 175 is a similar concept to the resonators and I think they did a Eurorack version, if I remember right.

[@dmthandmade5674]

I'm hacking a Bolina...when my warranty runs out (gives me plenty of time to figure it out haha). But, a Bolina is an enormous Eurorack module, and it's genuine divide down. I want to send the notes through the voices on an analogue poly to do the divide down through subractive thing. I think the raw note could be tapped before the filter circuit in the Bolina to send the note through the voice on the analog poly playing the same note. Maybe an arduino to interface.

[@DaveG207]

This is an incredible beast. I have trouble getting my head around a company designing and synth and producing only double digit units. I knew Olafur Arnalds used something like this, just checked and I see it’s a PS-3100. And finally….the pieces on it are great as ever, but your production has just got better and better. The quality of these recordings, the mix etc. *chef’s kiss*
