Korg M50 Discontinued?

Post by guillex »

Hi everybody! I am annoyed!! :shock:

Today, I've noticed that the M50 is not available at Korg.com

I assume that soon will appear a new M50/M3, because a new edition from NAMM is coming soon, and Korg really need to update their catalog...Maybe a Kronos 50? or K50? haha

They've eliminated the M3 as well.

The M3 was discontinued long time ago, besides it was online at korg.com...you can buy a new m3 because they are still in stock in some places, but they are not under production...

For me, the m50 was still under production, that's why I was annoyed...

Luckily on korg.co.uk, you can find information/documentation/downloads for M3 and M50, and even much more older Korgs as well.

Homonym. I think he meant "Buy now!"

In any event, the M3 and M50 have been put back up on the U.S. web site.

Good luck getting parts, I woulldn't buy this junk. The mainboard is non existant, and the video board is VERY hard to come by. The capacitors have known problems yet Korg refuses to do anything about it.

I am glad as hell to have mine. I can not report anything disapointing for sure, this board is even more than what I had hoped it would be and my hat it tipped to the Korg crew for the fine job at a fine price. :wink:

For its price it's about the best you can get... it misses some features but at a price of 1/2 or 1/3 a flagshop product it's a great bargain.
