Very curious about the design, wish they’d show more photos and say more about it.

Where are all those cables stored? Is the keyboard supposed to fold into the main case somehow?

Reminds me a bit of the C100 “developer terminal”: https://caligra.com/c100/ (which I just noticed is now shipping)

Patch cables will need to be stored externally, as with other semi-modular synths. I've seen little cable hangers but it would be unusual to have that as part of the main design.

They say that it comes with a custom hard case to hold both the main unit and the keyboard.

Korg worked previously with David Friend of Arp and the Alan R Pearlman Foundation to reissue the Arp 2600 and Arp Odyssey. The Arp 2600 Full Size design is somewhat similar to this, although smaller, in that it comes with its own flight cases.

I have Korg's smaller still Arp 2600M reisslue and that came with a suitcase and foam inserts to hold the main unit, keyboard, patch cables and sequencer.

I get the impression that the PS-3300 is meant to be set up permanently in one place like a studio rather than being gigged.

Well it's remake of an old synthesizer, there's plenty of information and pictures about the original.

The remake isn't going to be exactly the same as the original. It is sensible to want more photos of the new units.

[steve1977]

Not 100% exactly, but the whole point of these Korg reissues is to be very close to the originals. So in terms of general architecture, it will be the same.

Zero clue who would find the need to pay $2700 for that.

Very little of lifestyle products is about need. Folks will open their wallets for some combination of personal wants, exclusivity (or the illusion of it), or even something as simple as a coffee table discussion piece.

These sorts of "collectible clones" are pretty popular at the moment. A big part of it is nostalgia.

[steve1977]

Nostalgia and also specifically catering to people who are affluent enough now to afford things they couldn't afford as kids or teens.

[gizajob]

Again though, it’s for people who want a personality-free expensive Acorn Archimedes running Linux, or a very very expensive Raspberry Pi 500 with more horsepower but not enough actual horsepower to do anything useful. No idea who those people are or if there are more than a few dozen of them out there.

Oh dud, is it so hard to find out that is is an updated revision?
