Have an X50 but just bought that M3 and after a couple of days I am liking it more and more. Korg has made an amazing product. The sound quality i am loving and the easy editing is great. The keyboard action is perfect for me (I have the 61 so it is not a hammer action but thats not something I like.)
I read a few negative comments on these and other forums and tool note of some of these things but honestly I cant agree with some of the bleating.. This is one awesome setup and at least suites me and I am very glad now that I didnt buy the Motif XS I was looking at or one of the other brands. I just ordered the 3 DVD set of tutorials though I think the manual is written alot better than the Yamaha ones for sure. |

I Agree
If you read the lunatic fringe on the Internet, you would think the M3 is a disaster.
These are mostly folks who can't afford anything over $50. But give them an Internet connection and they are gods gift to the music world

I notice a lack of criticism on M3 in this thread...  It is not a good thing to find a thread without someone who shoot against the new korg workstation... so:
M3 sounds are thin, karma is unusefull unless you're a dj, keybed is awful, velocity curve doesn't work, knobs and sliders seems to be very fragile, when I put a glass near the output of an M3 in the shop it didn't piss some coffee or beer, the M3 doesn't clap its hands when I create a good hip hop loop...........  
Sorry, couldn't resist!
Regards, Lorenzo

And you have been very gentle to say that, Lorenzo.
M3 is workstation with excellent perspective - but today, not so useful. For a year or two, when they fasten it, make it stable, reprogram velocity curves and make all multisamples from Triton line available on M3, it will be keyboard I could take to a gig. If they make new MOSS for M3, it will be "dream come true". And even for a year or two, when I hope this all would happen, I would probably buy M3-M - keybed is... maybe awful is to much, I would say "different". Got used to Extreme's keybed and M3's compared to that one isn't good for me. About the M3's chassis and control keys - Korg wont change it, I think, so we have to live with it.
I don't mean to disrespect M3, as said above, it will be OK with time, but the look - man, it's ugly.
So yes, this isn't a perfect world. |
