When talking about his Korg PS-3200 during a studio tour with Music Tech magazine, Ulrich Schnauss says [@ 5:42], "It has a very interesting sound as well, because it's using… a kind of octave divide technology which makes it fully polyphonic, although it doesn't have 32 or 48 or whatever oscillators. It's the same technology that was used in 70's string synths, and has a bit of a similar sound to those as well..."
