UVS-3200 - Tribute to the KORG PS-3200

Inspiration

UVS-3200 brings you the rare and exceedingly warm sounds of a complex and stunning piece of synthesizer history, the KORG PS-3200, perfectly restored and deeply sampled in all its vintage analog glory. Built in a very limited quantity during the late '70s this Japanese beauty featured a semi-modular 48-voice polyphonic engine. Each voice was equipped with 2 VCOs, of which each had its own VCF and LFO. The PS-3200 also featured a remarkable 16 patches of memory recall (a fantastic convenience at the time). Settings could be saved and restored at any time by way of the front panel or optional remote. This synth also featured a unique keyboard controller with scalable CV joystick providing a fun and dynamic performance angle.

Due to the PS-3200’s extreme component count and the age of these machines they are both extraordinarily expensive to own and repair and increasingly scarce to find. Thankfully we got our hands on a pristine unit and after a complete check-up and fine tuning handed it over to our sound design team to push it to the limits, documenting the very best of what it has to offer.

Instrument

UVS-3200 delivers a collection of musical and sonically pristine patches brimming with a warmth and presence that's both unique and undeniably analog. A marvelous artifact seen through a modern lens, our sound designers created a multitude of configurations resulting in sounds covering everything from classic tones to those at home in current styles. Over 220 patches including fat analog basses, rich evolving pads, punishing leads and more await.

Inspired by the original hardware the UI boasts a vintage aesthetic with modern controls. Quickly surf the included presets for inspiration or dive in to create your own patches. Choose from 24 presets for Oscillator 1 and 69 presets for Oscillator 2. Adjust ADSR envelopes for both the amp and multimode filter along with comprehensive stereo, effects and per-oscillator modulation and arpeggiators.

Reviews

"My surprise and joy are a measure of the success of this synth, warm and easy-to-use with wild possibilities and a sound worthy of UVI, UVS-3200 is a total success! The backbone of many new tracks."

Cassius

"Alvvays travels and records with a 1978 Korg Poly Ensemble. As the clock ticks on its capacitors, we’ve been hunting for software that comes close to the beautifully rough tuning-pot-for-every-key microtonal sound. My pupils popped when the UVS-3200 came out - this beautiful piece of programming is faithful to the original woodgrain beast and supplements it with everything the original pre-midi board lacked. Our hunt has ended."

Alvvays

"This is exactly what I love about UVI. I had completely forgotten about the original version, and they have resurrected it perfectly. All of the fizz, drift, unusual waveforms & filter artifacts. Very cool."

Jon Carin

"Apart from the ease of use, the warmth and depth of UVS-3200 is what really impresses me."

Guy Fletcher

(Dire Straits, Mark Knopfler, Tina Turner, Randy Newman, Mick Jagger, Vicente Amigo)

"Fun stuff! It's pretty inspiring! […] I am really loving this. There's a quality to it that mimics hardware sound, but there's another quality to it that has a kind of temperament that I like to use."

Sample Library Review

"UVS-3200 sounds quirky, vibey and lush like very few virtual synths out there[…] recommended for synthesizers aficionados and electronics music producers looking for an exotic synth that is fun to play with."

Gearslutz

"It's all very lush sounding with a vintage charm, but surprisingly some of the presets don't sound retro at all! I can think where I'd use these in modern productions and older, retro tracks."

The Samplecast

"What's not to love about this instrument? […] The sounds of this wonderfully unique instrument are lush and fantastic. It's dead simple to use, and it's a little piece of history inside of your plugins folder. Picking it up is a no brainer."

Ask Audio

"The sound of UVS-3200 is rich, warm and powerful, with that analog "dirt" which makes it really authentic […] a world of textures, moods and sonic pleasures."

FLStudioMusic

"I've been finding loads of inspiration just with the presets, but the real fun comes when you start to delve into a bit of creative programming [...] this synth is now very high on my list of go-to synths."

Pro Tools Expert

"UVI has really outdone themselves again melding the wonderful sounds that came out of the Korg with the technology of today and creating something absolutely stunning to work with."

Producer Spot

“It doesn’t take a whole lot of ‘tarting up’ to come up with a compelling preset. You can easily coax a rich and deep, but not overtly vintage sound out of UVS-3200.”
