What a Beast!

This thing has so much potential! Out of the box, it has some great sounds pre-loaded, but they can be a little to "dance music" for my taste. The real fun in the R3 is editing! With so many options including fm synthesis and the option of using the vocoder on any of your programs, creating sounds is endless! Using the R3 live is a keyboardist dream! Your get four knobs and pitch and mod wheels, all fully programable! You can't go wrong with the R3, it'll do anything and everything you'll ever need!

I got the korg r3 about a week ago and the sounds on the device are out of this world. They bring a hole new meaning to the word VOCODER!!! You have got to get your hands on one of these!!!!!

  Great Value

I bought one for the vocoder, but have fallen in love with the clean sound and endless potential. This "Little Sythn That Could" is completely under-rated. It sounds like a million bucks and performs, performs, and performs!
You can't go wrong with the price either. Get one fast!

Only reservation is the included software does not set this up as a vst/au capable synth. Otherwise it rocks.

The only thing that'd make this a 5.0 rating is aftertouch. The vocoder is very nice and the synth is killer. It's intuitive. We were creating deep and unique sounds out of the box...even with the included mic. Shipped fast Indiana to Boston...couldn't be happier!
