my new korg m3 73 has arrived:)

Post by altuggunal »

Dear friends,

TOday i got my m3 73 and i am very happy. I couldnt explore it yet but first day was enough to understand how superb it is.

But 73 keys is uglier then 61. I wish they would paint it to the same color of the module like they did for 61.

I will write a review in a short time.

Congrats! :D

Ugly? Are you referring to those cheese blocks on either side of the module?

From the pictures it appears that the M3-73 and M3-88 do not have painted "cheeks" while the M3-61 does. I assume this is because the M3-73/88's panels are removable, so a painted surface could be subject to scratches.

I had never noticed there was a difference before.

The M3-61 doesn't have painted cheese blocks (cheeks). They're part of the frame, which is molded in white plastic.

I wanted to put a usb key in this place and of course I can't with the 73 :cry:

That plate is the bottom panel showing through. What's underneath the 73? Is it an open frame like the Radias?
