THE M3 KINDA LET ME DOWN ON THE SOUND QUALITY. THE SYNTH BASSES ARE NOT EVEN AS GOOD AS THE CLASSIC TRITON
AND OF COURSE THE ACOUSTIC PIANOS ARE TERRIBLE THEY SOUND HOLLOW RIGHT AROUND MIDDLE C YUK! THE GOOD THING ABOUT THE M3 ARE THE DRUMS. THEY ARE SLAMMIN AND THE ELECTRIC PIANO SOUNDS ARE INCREDIBLE. GO KORG! THE 8 PADS ARE GREAT. AND THE STRINGS GREAT AS USUAL.THE KARMA IS NICE ALSO. THE USB IS VERY HELPFUL TO DOWN LOAD SOUNDS OFF THE INTERNET THE M3 HAS GREAT POTENTIAL.

  Finally..It does it all!!!

I was fortunate enough to walk into the local music store in Panama City, Florida and watched the Korg rep unbox the first one. I asked for a demo and he plugged it in and 2 hours later I left drooling....and I don't even play-my wife does! The rep had this grin from ear to ear and said he can't get enough of this thing either.

We have a Yamaha MO8 and wish it had more to it. This thing is like a Triton on Steroids mixed with an Oasys in that it records audio or samples and you can mix each part separately and the Karma features make this the "arranger"/ live performance tool we've all dreamed of!! This thing does it all and it does it all very well. The pads are the best yet on ANY piece of gear I've touched...and I've touched some gear! Thumb drive storage is perfect too!

The trick is going to be learning how to use it properly and not waste time and get frustrated. Korg has viedos and the Karma site does too.

The M3 allows you to perform with sounds you swear you should be paying an entire band and electronic engineer for. Karma means the performance is never the same and always top notch.

If you don't like this you probably don't know how to use it. Find out when the Korg rep is in town and schedule a demo...you'll "get it" when they demo it.

  seems like an unfinished gong

I had one but returned it because it seemed unfinished. I could also say that I am biased toward yamaha's interface which, even w/o a touch screen, seems to require far less navigation to get things done.

for now, I'm sticking with my S90ES and ramping up my interests in Cubase rather than moving towards a more sophisticated keyboard/onboard software approach.
