Korg M3 88 Note Workstation

Now with new Xpanded Software Upgrade.

The new Korg M3 is the result of years of work and learning from having some of the best synths on the market. from the Triton to the Karma, Radias and Oasys the M3 brings together a world of features, sounds and versatility never seen before all in one unit. Presenting the Korg M3 workstation.

Powerful System Based On OASYS

The Korg M3 features a number of innovations distilled from the flagship OASYS including the new EDS (Enhanced Definition Synthesis) sound generator derived from the HD-1 engine design, the advanced second-generation KARMA functionality, and the multi-purpose control surface. Adding innovations such as the new concept of “virtualized hardware” that allows an even closer integration with DAW systems, Drum Tracks which provide a instant groove to play along with, and the new "Korg Komponent System" concept that facilitates more flexible system construction, the M3 music workstation/sampler opens a new and exciting page in music making - it’s the workstation that rightfully deserves to wear the “M” that started it all.

The Korg M3 88 Features:

• New EDS (Enhanced Definition Synthesis) sound generator derived from the OASYS's HD-1 engine supports up to four-way velocity switching, and features powerful filter configurations plus advanced modulation possibilities, producing rich and vivid sounds.
• A gigantic 256 Mbytes (16-bit linear data equivalent) of 48 kHz sampled PCM memory contains a total of 1,032 multisamples and 1,606 drum samples, including many stereo and velocity-switched elements.
• The same second-generation KARMA functionality featured on the OASYS, an all-new Drum Track function, the Open Sampling System, and a high-resolution16-track MIDI sequencer provide a new production environment that lets you seamlessly combine your inspirations into completed form.
• The color touch-view GUI ensures excellent operability, with the display also able to be used as an X-Y control. Eight dynamic pads and a multi-function control surface give you a high degree of control and expressive capability.
• Virtualized Hardware via a new Firewire functionality allows the M3 to be closely integrated into your DAW system.
• Korg Komponent System - a new concept that lets you flexibly construct your system from hardware units.
• Simple, elegant, and warm design using a combination of contrasting materials.
• Choose from four models (61-key, 73-key, 88-key, or a sound module), with the 61 and 73 key versions premiering a newly-develop keyboard that feels great and increases both expression and control.
• A rich array of expansion possibilities includes the EXB-RADIAS (a RADIAS-derived analog modeling synthesizer board), the EXB-M256 (PCM sample memory expansion), the EXB-FW board that allows virtualized hardware expansion via a single FireWire cable, and EX-USB-PCM series libraries to be released in the future.
