Members McHale Posted January 25, 2013 Members Share Posted January 25, 2013 Holy crap! A street of $599?!If this does well, I'm really thinking Korg will unveil an analog poly synth down the road.-Mc Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members mildbill Posted January 26, 2013 Members Share Posted January 26, 2013 I'm hoping this will be a real winner for Korg. It seems a lot more useful than those mini analog thingies they've been putting out the last few years. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Gribs Posted January 27, 2013 Members Share Posted January 27, 2013 The price is low because the original was pretty simple and now it can be replicated using surface mount components. I would have been more interested in a module alone without the weird-sized key, even at the same price. I am totally turned off by the odd keybed. I guess I am just weird. But you all knew that already. Also I am told that, just like the original, the pitch CV is V/Hz and not V/Oct, which may or may not matter and/or be an inconvenience to you. The unit does take MIDI in, though. Korg will sell a ton of these, they will sound awesome, and the re-emergence of analog synths will continue. It is what this might open up later on that interests me the most. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The pic of the 80's Japanese Car box got me thinking, if it was placed there on purpose then I can confirm they chose a company that keeps re-releasing old products.. They also hinted if things sell they will consider more stuff... Could be just the beginning Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members zzzxtreme Posted April 27, 2013 Author Members Share Posted April 27, 2013 Monopoly was and still cutting egde. Maybe they dont want to kill kingkorg's sales. Not counting on it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Casio Man Posted April 27, 2013 Members Share Posted April 27, 2013 The thing, that I would want the most in the world would be a PS-2013; a sensible, but full featured 4 voice version of PS-3300 might be surprisingly affordable. I don't quite remember the figures I played with, but after toying around with inflation- and currency converters some time ago, I remember, that it looked like a very rough price estimation of one voice would have been some where around $500. Its very, very likely, that Korg is going after more easily marketable features, like polyphony and sleaker unit, as well as more well known name, but after playing around with a thought of having that kind of monster in my cave makes everything else feel lame. ...and...iirc, the MS-20 was using the components of the PS-range.

Members liliththekitten Posted May 2, 2013 Members Share Posted May 2, 2013 I was thinking this but only with the Polysix. I love the Polysix but the M/P is a bit more interesting. Both those synths used SSM filters though, so as long as Korg is recycling MS-10/20 filters, it wouldn't sound the same. Might be more like the Poly61 which used the MS-20 mkII filter, only minus the 61's nasty digital square wave.But it'd be interesting, and at these prices, who would complain?
