1980s

1980

• Korg CX-3: One of the first Hammond B-3 clonewheel organs. It earned especially high marks for its authentic simulation of the B-3's Leslie rotating speaker, a nearly inseparable part of the original instrument's sound. An updated model called the New CX-3 was released in 2000, and uses sample-based technology, as opposed to the original's analog emulation. Both incarnations of the instrument feature a double-manual version called the BX-3. The first-generation models also included an output for the instrument to hook up to a real Leslie speaker.
• Korg Trident: At the time of its release, the Trident was the flagship of Korg's lineup. It was divided into three distinct sections – polysynth, brass and strings – and featured an on-board flanger, a rarity for any synth at the time. The Trident was capable of eight notes of polyphony, and featured a 16-program memory.^[13] An upgraded version became available in 1982.^[14]

1981

• The Korg Polysix is a 61-key, six-voice programmable synthesizer. It was released to compete with Roland's Juno-6 synth, and both keyboards shared similar features, such as a built-in chorus unit and an arpeggiator. However, the Polysix offered memory for patch storage, and its chorus unit was a fully-fledged analog delay unit capable of phaser and "ensemble" effects. The instrument was recreated in a virtual version, the PolysixEX for Korg's Legacy Collection, and is also available as an add-on for the OASYS synth. It is also one of the included synth engines with the Kronos line of synths.

• The Korg SAS-20 was Korg's first arranger keyboard. A built-in computer analyzed the melody played on the keyboard, and generated a complex accompaniment.

The best-selling synthesizer of all time (with 250,000 units sold worldwide, as a single model). Incredibly realistic sounds made possible by using rich samples of acoustic and electric instruments as initial sound source (vs.simple sine, saw and square waves used before) and applying full synthesizer processing chain (filters, modulators, effects, etc.).^[20]
