Korg M3 Xpanded Music Workstation / Sampler 88 Key
The Korg M3 XPanded is a Music Workstation/Sampler with added features and sounds.
The Korg M3 88 XPanded offers a staggering 697 Mbytes of PCM, delivering a huge number of sound variations. Powerful enhancements to the sequencer and interface make the M3 the go-to instrument for your music making.
The 256 MB of PCM memory on the original M3 has been revised to include a number of newkeyboard instrument sounds. New samples of various vintage keyboards have been added, including two acoustic pianos, tine and reed electric pianos, and four clav settings.
The Korg M3 88 XPanded 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/sampler opens a new and exciting page in music making - it’s the workstation that rightfully deserves to wear the “M” that started it all.
Sequencer mode now provides a Piano Roll editing screen, Track View arrange/edit page, and the capability to edit MIDI system exclusive data, allowing you to produce tracks even more efficiently.
Each of the effects algorithms in the M3 now have high-quality presets available, which were created by professional sound designer and engineers. A total of 700 effects presets make it quick and easy to get the sound and mix you desire from wealth of effects processing available.
With the addition of 149 new realistic drum patterns, the number of preset patterns has increased to 671, giving you additional possibilities for song production with the sequencer, for live performance, or for use with the RPPR (Realtime Pattern/Play Recording) function.
The acclaimed TouchView interface now adds Touch Drag Editing functionality, allowing you to operate knobs or sliders by touching and dragging them directly onscreen.
Users of the current M3 can upgrade to the M3 XPanded by Downloading data from the KORG Website.
Features:
- New piano and classic keyboard samples have been added to the internal ROM, along with new Programs.
- Three new sample expansions (128 MB each) of brass, woodwind, and acoustic piano data have been included for free, bringing the total to 640 MB (when calculated as 16-bit linear) of high-quality PCM– 2.5 times that of the original M3!
- A Piano Roll event editing screen, Track View arrange/edit page, and MIDI system exclusive editing functionality have been added to Sequencer mode, helping you to fine tune your tracks and arrangements with greater detail.
- The KARMA function which generates unique, interactive phrases has been expanded to Version 2.2 with many new features, including 1,024 locations for user GEs when used with exclusive KARMA M3 software from Karma-Lab.
