Will there be other ways to expand the soundset besides the radias board? I see there are not too many preset programs, but room for many more.

Hello.

If you look at the KORG website you will see that they mention USB / PCM expansions. Basically from what I gather, you need to install the sampling option to expand your M3 memory, and then you can buy these USB/PCM devices and they will load into the sampling memory.

Regards.
Sharp.

USB ports Type A/B is already available....All you need is the EXB-Sampling board if you want to get the samples in to M3....else cannot...on the other hand the other options are EXB-FW for using it as a vocoder kinda thing....

Anyone who has seen it in NAMM may correct me if wrong....

M3 seems to me like a white and black key with optionals... wonder what you can buy without chosing options... maybe a master with a joystick? is the ribbon an optional too?

Good point Lorenzo


From Korg's website:
"The M3 comes loaded with 512 Programs, and room for a total of 1,664 user sounds (...) As for the 16-part Combinations, 384 come preloaded, with room for a total of 1,792 (14 Banks)."


Plenty of room for future expan$ions lol...

I don't know exactly how it works, but Korg is definitely planning on selling expansion samples:

We have plans to release additional PCM/sound libraries loadable via USB. No details as of yet, but we will support the M3 with more soundware. This will require expanded RAM memory.

I'm sure we will hear about that during NAMM.

Cool
