LaMP Studio is proud to have acquired a ca 1976 prototype Korg PS-3300 modular, described by the late Robert Moog as the best polyphonic synthesizer "for sheer versatility in sound shaping and potential for animated, 'fat' sounds." This particular instrument is reported once to have been owned by Klaus Schulze of Tangerine Dream. Mr Schulze will neither confirm nor deny this. The Korg PS-3300 was used by Jean-Michel Jarre and Emmerson, Lake & Palmer.
