The price drops lately on the M3-series seems to indicate Korg is responding to competition and wants to increase M3 sales Considering the bohemuth (they're freaking massive) Fantom-G is now on the market, I believe I have to agree with the statement above. Korg will beat the crap out of the Fantom ...

These threads tend to crack me up a bit. Pick an instrument at random, and people will be making the exact same complaints :p Guitarists feel underappeciated because they're so common. Bassists feel underappreciated because they're so low in the mix and just play root notes (ie. if they suck ...

Did you start playing piano before getting into keyboards?

Seems like a pollable question, and I'm curious to see the responses. I never played piano. My mom bought a Casio keyboard when I was maybe 5 years old, and I just learned to play that. I gave it up for a few years from 13 to 19 years old (played guitar mostly), but have since gotten into the ...

I actually have a little request, from the m3 and workstations in general: A real-time polyphony meter of sorts, showing you just how far you're pushing the polyphony with whatever combi you're using, and whatever you're playing. I've managed to max the 128 polyphony on my Juno-G out numerous times ...

Ski wrote... Why not just buy both and call it a day? :) Besides, they'll both pay for themselves. Heh, I wish. Honestly, I think I'll hold onto my Juno-G instead of selling it. I can afford an M3 without those extra few hundred bucks. I'll basically have the same sampling of useful to me sounds as ...

The Fantom G is a killer board too, but mostly due to the individual effects per multi slot. The waves are pretty much the same as the X's, which is fine really. I spoke with a few salespeople on the phone last weekend regarding the new G, and they said it was basically a "Fantom Extreme." The ...

Well, for anyone who is interested: I went for my little mission today. Tried out a Fantom G8, M3 61 and 88 key versions, and a Yamaha Motif XS8. My impressions: - The G8's interface was the most familiar, coming from a Juno-G. The screen is pretty amazing. The sounds are also pretty good. As with ...

Thanks for the replies. And yes, if you would do my auditioning for me, that would be great :D This is going to be a really tough decision. I've been doing research on the Internet for the last few days, and every time I look through the specs and see some opinions one of the boards, I convince ...

Interesting approach - talking down to those whose help you're seeking. #-o Perhaps you should just put in the time necessary to discover that what you need already exists in this forum, and then go to the store for a hands-on eval. Best of luck! Not talking down at all. It just puzzles me that ...

While an interesting debate, none of you have actually answered my questions. So far it's been: - "M3 is the best" - "Depends on what you're after... here are some sales figures" - "Nuh uh!" I asked specific questions for a reason... your little exchange is likely nothing new, and doesn't help ...

M3 vs. Fantom-G vs. MotifXS

Hey all. First I'll say that I think every keyboard related forum should have a thread like this stickied at the top. I'm sure I'm about to ask some extremely unoriginal questions. But I'm not about to go digging through all kinds of threads when I can just ask a question and get all the answers in ...
