Well, at least it's black... Korg is coming to its senses at leat under the visual profile...
Theu don't have money and technology to put 1 giga ram into the M3, but the arrangers touch screen is MOTORIZED.
I somehow feel like puking

If it really does have the TC-Helicon VoiceLive 2 processor, then it will have the most powerful vocal fx of any arranger made, and better than nearly any workstation except perhaps Rolands VP-770 or VSynth GT. The VoiceLive 2 box is $800 all by itself. Besides its power, it's also designed to be much easier for vocalists to personalize for their voice, with automatic vocal analysis, auto EQ and De-essing. It would be a big step up from the vocal fx in the PA2X and the Tyros3/4.

I agree.
And let's not forget the MOTORIZED touch screen.

Now I am not kidding:
we have been ranting and raving for years about lack of money and man-hours for fixing several M3's shortcomings,
we have sighed and shrugged, thinking that the various "micro-something" meant just that meager economic years were the reason for such lack of innovation (and worse: lack of maintenance),รน
and now I discover that man-hourse WERE spent...
... adding a Porsche-like rear spoiler wing to a wedding gig keyboard?!?

So that's who buys arrangers? One-man-bands for weddings?

I didn't mean to dimish one-man-bands, nor arrangers. Most professional musicians play wedding gigs sonner, later or forever in their career. You listen better musicians at weddings that at raves.
But when "the new performance-oriented synth" from a brand is a 31-mini-keys rompler,
while its "karaoke-oriented mass keyboard" looks like Abramovich's yacht,
something is terribly wrong.

This is true.

yep.
Korg bought Haken Audio overnight, and that thing is an embedded Continuum.
Amazing feature for playing the steel guitar glissandos on "The Godfather Theme" at Sicilian weddings. Or for bedroom renditions of Dream Theater solos ["check my clips on youtube!"].
We saw the Most Advanced Keyboard of the Decade and couldn't recognize it.
We the fools!
(Damn! This thing has been going on for 2010 years in my family: we just don't recognize Messiahs when we meet them: Granma said that her Grand-Grandpa Shimon... oh, forget it, it's a long story...)
