The PS-3100 Analogue Synthesiser has monstrous polyphony - one built-in VCO, VCF, VCA, and EG for each of the keys on the keyboard for a total of 48 synthesizer circuits and polyphony! It's VCF has three resonant filters, plus there's a ring modulator, tremolo modulator, and LFO. However it lacks some rather basic features you would like such as patch memory.

Its successors, the PS-3200 and PS-3300 have far greater potential, but the PS-3100 is the only one which is built as a single compact personal synthesizer with its built-in keyboard. The modules are completely separate and inter-connected using Korg's standard patching system. You create sounds by patching and twisting knobs, very similar to Korg's MS-series.

Christian,
May I ask how much you paid for it?

I have a fully restored, fully functional PS3100 in near mint condition - I was planning on putting it on the market but after having it expertly and completely overhauled, I'm not so sure. I had forgotten how versatile and unique an instrument this is.

Funny! The one on the picture is the one I bought from Switched On Austin.
It's a versatile machine, no doubt!

j s wrote that this was the first synth with n-key polyphony. That is Incorrect!
The polymoog has n-key polyphony and was released about 2 years before the PS-3100.
