Korg M3-73 Workstation

Korg M3 73 (73-Key Workstation)

The M3 features a number of innovations distilled from the flagship OASYS including the new EDS (Enhanced Definition Synthesis) sound generator derived from the HD-1 engine design, the advanced second- generation KARMA functionality, and the multi-purpose control surface. Adding innovations such as the new concept of "virtualized hardware" that allows an even closer integration with DAW systems, Drum Tracks which provide a instant groove to play along with, and the new "Korg Komponent System" concept that facilitates more flexible system construction, the M3 music workstation/sampl er opens a new and exciting page in music making - it's the workstation that rightfully deserves to wear the "M" that started it all.Korg M3-73 at a Glance: Internally Xpanded version available NOW!Supercharged with 512 additional soundsFour models availableEnhanced Definition Synthesis: A new horizon of sound-making potentialEffectsE xpanded Combination ModeGreat soundsSecond Generation KARMAOpen SamplingKorg Komponent SystemXpanded version available NOW!The Korg M3 has been "Internally Xpanded," and Sweetwater has the free upgrades already installed!

The 61-key and 73-key models use a proprietary new semi-weighted synth action keyboard developed by Korg for great playing feel and expressive aftertouch response. The 88-key model features the RH3 (Real Weighted Hammer Action 3) keyboard that reproduces the playing sensation of a grand piano, in which the low range has a heavier feel, with the touch becoming lighter as you play upward on the keyboard, allowing superb response to fine movements of your fingers.Enhanced Definition Synthesis: A new horizon of sound-making potentialThe M3 features a newly developed "EDS" sound generating system based on
