Looking for Korg S3 Workstation Info

Post by hfdz0 »

Has anyone used the Korg S3?

Sound on Sound gave it a proper review in 98 :

Although it fails at properly executing every function it aspires to perform, it sounds like it has some useable functions and at least mediocre sounds for a hobbyist's use. I saw a used one on the cheap and was considering using some of the rhythm and drum features. I realize it is a convoluted machine, but I don't mind spending the extra time figuring it out.

I can't find much more information about it anywhere else. There are a few youtube vids demonstrating some samples. As SOS described, it remained unknown because it was overshadowed by Roland in popularity, quality, and playability.

Any comments, advice, experience, memories, or stories about it?
