Owner Insights

We analyzed real musician discussions from forums and Reddit to find what players love, question, and tweak about MAM RS3.

Features and functionality

  • The MAM RS3 is based on Korg's PS3100 filter, known for its multiple resonator filters which are not simply 3 filters in parallel.

    Source
  • The MAM RS3 allows running filters in parallel without needing to split the signal, unlike using separate filter units which require additional buffering.

    Source

Setup and maintenance

  • The Fonitronik PS3100 DIY kit requires identifying parts and placing them on a PCB, but lacks calibration, making it manageable for those comfortable with basic soldering.

    Source
  • Using three separate filter modules would necessitate a buffered mult, adding complexity and occupying more space in a modular setup.

    Source

Use cases and applications

  • Vactrol-based design in the PS3100 replicas offers a unique modulation effect, differentiating it from simply using multiple bandpass filters.

    Source

User experience

  • Users have found the Fonitronik PS3100 available on forums like Muffwiggler, often from EU sellers, which can mitigate customs fees for European buyers.

    Source
  • Owners appreciate the RS3's ability to replicate the PS3100's resonator feature, providing a unique sound experience without requiring complex setup adjustments.

    Source

Comparisons

  • ADDAC T-Networks modules offer resonator features in a compact form, although not directly replicating the PS3100 sound, providing an alternative for space-conscious setups.

    Source
  • Compared to using three separate Cinnamon filters, the RS3 offers a more compact solution, saving space in setups where module space is limited.

Critic Reviews

MAM RS3; VF11 11-band & Warp 9

soundonsound.com

The MAM RS3 Resonator is a quirky, fun filter box appealing to budget-conscious musicians. It offers a musical sound with a lot of stereo movement and is easy to use, making it great for creating textural pads and techno loops. However, the outcome is not always predictable, and the filter parameters can feel somewhat restrictive. Despite these limitations, the RS3's affordability and ease of achieving interesting results make it a worthwhile consideration for those looking to add dynamic filtering to their sound palette.
