Korg redefines the workstation category by distilling the power of their flagship OASYS into the M3-M tabletop music workstation/sampler! The powerful EDS (Enhanced Definition Synthesis) sound generator is derived from the OASYS’ HD-1 engine design, and it also has advanced second-generation KARMA functionality in addition to a multi-purpose control surface.

Adding innovations such as the new concept of virtualized hardware that allows tighter integration with DAW systems, Drum Tracks which provide a instant groove to play along with, and the Korg Komponent System concept that facilitates more flexible system construction, the M3 music workstation/sampler opens an exciting page in music making.
