The Korg PS-3100 resonators use dual Vactrols, a specific type of
optoisolator, as the method of changing the frequencies of the filters.
The parts marked F101, F102 and F103 on the schematic are the Vactrols. 
On the first part of the schematic, the circled resistors represent the
photocells inside of the Vactrols (2 per Vactrol). On the second part of
the schematic, the LEDs marked A, B and C are the LEDs inside of the
Vactrols. 

Hope this helps.
