Hi Ben, thanks for the great description of the PS-3100. A few comments from a non-owner, but reader of circuit diagrams, nevertheless: >Pretty much the only way to control a PS from an outside source is to have >a very expensive and complex MIDI retrofit done to it (possibly costing >more than the instrument itself!), but since this is an analogue list, I >won't go into that here :-) If it's possible with a Midi Retrofit, it should be possible to add some analogue inputs as well. Probably better suited for the common CV parts, though; you wouldn't like to have a 48-pin CV input connector ... >It's not a true polyphonic either, using divide-down technology to achieve >polyphonic status. I wouldn't see it that negative. This is not the same divide down stuff with a TOS as you would find it in many organs or string ensemble keyboards. There are 12 real VCOs inside (36 in a PS-3300), so the only intervall where you would notice the divide down technology is the octave. Any other intevall would show the natural beating of free running VCOs. >Oh yes, I'm meant to be doing a website on the PS series, like I did on the >MS series, aren't I? One day, one day :-) Looking forward to that ! JH.
