The Cherry Audio PS-3300 is a stunning virtual analog emulation of Korg's legendary, yet elusive, PS-3300 synthesizer from 1977. Revered by synth enthusiasts and musicians alike, the original PS-3300's rarity and complex architecture made it a prized possession among the elite. Cherry Audio has masterfully resurrected this semi-modular marvel, offering its rich polyphonic capabilities to a new generation of sound creators.

This plugin faithfully replicates the original's three independent signal generator panels, each acting like a standalone polyphonic synthesizer. With dual LFOs and triple voltage-controlled resonators for each panel, the PS-3300 excels in producing lush, evolving soundscapes and complex tonal textures. The synth's robust architecture allows for up to 24 voices of polyphony, ensuring your compositions are never short of depth and complexity.

Beyond its polyphonic prowess, the PS-3300 features a master signal mixer panel, complete with sample & hold, additional envelope generators, and dual CV processors, enabling intricate modulation and tone shaping. Each of the 67 front-panel input/output jacks provides a playground for creativity, offering endless patching possibilities.

Incorporating modern conveniences, the plugin includes an array of studio-quality effects and over 360 professionally designed presets, ensuring users can find inspiration right out of the box. Complete MIDI control and DAW automation further enhance its usability, bridging the gap between vintage charm and contemporary production needs.
