Hi all,
The Korg representative in my locality announced that Korg will be announcing a workstation this month. Is this true?
I have a hunch it's a low end model of the M3 or probably something like the TR. Anybody who knows anything about it?
Korg's new workstation???!!!

Yeah well... Some of the specs are a bit off, but what I'm looking forward to is the long-awaited M3 expansion. "Taking name" from a very well known OS, if what I hear is true, this should be a wonderful distinction-upgrade with respects to M50, Fantom G and Mo XS. A couple of more days...

Nice picture, btw, I hope it's true...
And I hope some other developments for the M3, instead of downgrades of M3 in new keybs
It seems that new addings for OASYS, too, are not on their way, that's sad guys who spent a lot of $ have in their hands an instruments which doesn't growl as we may expect.

Yes, I'd agree with that. We'll just have to see.kimu wrote:even if downgradind eliminating completely the Karma engine in my opinion is not very good. Karma engine is one of the key point on M3 and it is also something that really differentiate M3 from Motif XS and from Fantom G.
I am surprised this information is available prior to the release of this keyboard.....hmmmm.
M3, Triton Classic, Radias, Motif XS, Alesis Ion

I do hope something new for the OASYS will be released as well as all this M50 and M3 expansions, maybe an EXf or anew library.

WOW! Nice!kimu wrote:i do not seen nothing Karma related...
but great to keep the drum track ready to go!
for the people that don't need karma, but need all other features this is great workstation.
very good product from KORG, it will be very successful (much more successful than OASYS or M3).
I hope it comes with vsti editor.
buttons on M50 are the ugliest thing i ever saw.
but I'm very glad KORG hasn't forgotten Workstations,
I thought they are all into Auto-Arrangers now.
