KORG M361 61-Key Music Workstation Keyboard

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/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. In the end it’s always about the sounds, and the M3 doesn’t disappoint. Korg’s acclaimed international voicing team delivers the goods once again: stunningly realistic imitative sounds, fat synth sounds, imaginative textures, evocative sound effects - it’s all here. The M3 comes loaded with 512 Programs, and room for a total of 1,664 User sounds (13 Banks plus GM). All sound locations are fully editable (except GM banks), so you are always free to tweak a sound if needed. Adding in the EXB-RADIAS Option delivers 128 powerful MMT synthesis sounds. There are 32 drum kits provided, and room for a total of 144. As for the 16-part Combinations, 384 come preloaded, with room for a total of 1,792 (14 Banks). The M3’s Open Sampling System lets you sample and resample in any mode to produce new remixed combinations of sounds and effects, or to capture full performances “In-Track" within the sequencer. Cutting-edge Editing tools include Time Slice, Time Stretch, Crossfade Looping, Rate Change and Normalize.
