THE NEXT COMING OF M
The M3 heralds the third generation of Korg Workstations. The M1 started it all, first appearing in 1988 to bring the world a new concept called the music workstation. It went on to become the best selling workstation in history, and was further expanded and enhanced through the T and O1/W series. Trinity defined a new level of innovations including touch screen technology and configurable effects, and was the forbearer of the successful TRITON range of products.
NOW KORG REDEFINES THE WORKSTATION CATEGORY ONCE AGAIN.
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.
With the most major upgrade in Korg history, the M3 has just leapfrogged to head of the class. The M3 XPanded Music Workstation / Sampler is now the go-to keyboard for all of your performance, keyboard and workstation sessions. This power-packed upgrade offers an updated ROM, three PCM Expansion volumes (and an additional one available separately), DAW-derived editing tools, advanced KARMA implementation, plus enhanced TouchView functionality and features.

In-Demand Sounds at Your Fingertips
Careful examination of the 256 Mbyte internal ROM has allowed Korg to embellish and add many new sounds - without sacrificing any existing ones. And, as always, Korg's renowned team of programmers have used every inch of the M3 XPanded's EDS (Enhanced Definition Synthesis) technology to create programs that use this new data to its fullest.
- We've added a new set of electric pianos - both reed and tine - sampled at four velocity levels for natural expression. These programs also use the M3 XPanded's REMS amplifier circuit modeling effects for enhanced realism and authentic tone character.
- Also on board is a robust acoustic piano - sampled in stereo at three dynamic levels; and including damper resonance sample layers - has replaced the original M3 piano, but don't fear, the original M3 piano is now available as an expansion library. Read on for more details.
- At Korg, we're always taking requests, and one of the most requested sounds ever - the classic KORG SG-1D stage piano - has been added. This refined sampled piano sits nicely in the stage mix and remains popular in many musical genres
- Classic keyboards also include that funky Clav. Here it has been authentically recreated with all of the tab/pickup combinations (AC, AD, BC, BD), sampled at multiple velocity levels for a natural feel that really responds to your playing dynamics.
- Flute and string sounds taken from those mechanical nightmare tape-driven keyboards of days gone by are back, giving a truly vintage vibe to your music.
- Last but not least, another popular request has been added - a mono piano for playing live through a mono system with no cancellation or sonic loss.
All four volumes can be added to the M3 XPanded in their entirety, free of charge! The first three, originally planned as separate M3 options, each contains 128 Mbytes of finely sampled top-ranked instruments, while the fourth is 28.5 Mbytes, bringing you a total of 412 Mbytes of bonus data. The M3 XPanded features two volumes of Brass & Woodwind data, and an enormous 128 Mbyte Grand Piano that is absolutely superb. Last but not least, the original ROM piano has been rereleased as an Expansion Library based on user requests - we listen!
- Brass & Woodwinds (EX-USB-PCM01/02): Derived from the expansive OASYS option library, these sounds were crafted to allow expression, articulation and natural sounding playability. Combined, they offer 128 new programs and 32 new combis ideal for a wide range of musical production - from pop and sweetening to full-out orchestra. All of the solo instrument ornaments have been captured as well - trills, falls, growls, staccato notes and more - all adding to the authenticity, especially during solo instrument performances. Each family of instruments includes enough variations for a full instrument range; Flutes, alto flutes, piccolos; trumpet, cornet, piccolo trumpet; clarinet, bass clarinet; etc.
- Concert Grand Piano (EX-USB-PCM03): Studio sampled using a traditional "minimum mic" set-up to preserve the natural stereo imaging, this concert grand has been captured at four dynamic levels, with additional samples for realistic sympathetic string resonance, ensuring a truly superb performance ? even for the pedal heavy performer. With 128 Mbytes devoted simply to piano, the samples are long and natural sounding. Six programs and six combinations provide ample variety to work with nearly any musical genre and style.
- V1 Stereo Piano (EX-USB-PCM04): Due to popular demand, we've brought back the original 4-way Stereo Piano PCM and Program data that was included in the M3 Version1 system.
