 Enhanced Definition Synthesis (EDS) engine developed in parallel with OASYS provides incredible, high-fidelity sounds
 Easy to use interface, with a bright and beautiful color TouchView display that doubles as an X/Y controller… just like a KAOSS™ pad!
 Eight velocity-sensitive pads that can trigger notes, MIDI messages, or up to 8-note chords
 KARMA level 2 engine from the flagship OASYS- beats, bass lines, melodies, chord recognition, wave-sequencing… over 2,000 GE’s to enhance your playing
 Massive 16-part Combis, with a separate 3-band EQ for each part, and true 120-note polyphony
 New Drum Track adds an instant groove and inspiration to any Program, Combi or Sequence - with over 500 preloaded patterns
 Multi-function control surface for easy sound editing, mixing, KARMA functionality, and control over external devices/software (tons of templates included)
 Unrivalled computer integration, with VST/RTAS/AU plug-in editor software included, and an optional EXB-FW FireWire “Virtualized Hardware” to stream MIDI
and audio data over a single cable, and integrate the M3 in your FireWire-connected studio
 Hi-res (480ppq) sequencer with Korg’s famous toolkit of musical inspiration, including One-Touch Record, Template Songs, RPPR, and Cue Lists
 Open Sampling System allows sampling/resampling in any mode, crossfade looping, and in-track sampling to record audio directly into the sequencer – even
create audio CD’s of your final mixes!
 Add the EXB-M256 memory expansion board to increase sample memory from 64MB to 320MB, for a total of 58 minutes sampling time!
 In addition to the M3-61, there are three models w/modular hardware design- M3-M: tabletop module / M3-73:73-key version can host M3-M and RADIAS-R
module / M3-88: 88-key version can host M3-M and RADIAS-R or 2 M3-M modules!
 M3-61 and M3-73 provide Korg’s brand new synth-weighted keybed, with great-feeling keys that respond to velocity and pressure-sensitive aftertouch. M3-88 uses
Korg’s incredibly realistic-feeling RH-3 graded hammer-action piano keys
 Four inputs, six outputs, MIDI In/Out/Thru, and three USB 2.0 ports- Two type A ports for external storage devices or USB CD burners, plus a type B port
for computer integration as a MIDI interface
 Add the EXB-RADIAS option for 24 extra voices of powerful MMT (Multi Modeling Technology) synthesis, a 16-band formant-recording vocoder, and much more!
