Some people prefer Synth-type sounds which are not based on any real acoustic instrument. Realistic sounds, to me anyway are at the very heart of my compositions, or at least that is My goal. However it does seem to be based upon WHO buys what board and for what application? Background. While I love Korg's editing capabilities, the ROM does NOT cut it when it comes to realism. While to a certain extent you are correct, I wasn't talking about any other maker of keyboards except for Korg (M3) and Yamaha's (XS), and having A+B'd both boards raw without effects applied there is a clear winner based on sample ROM. If there was a clear 'Keyboard X has the best sounds of everything' winner, no one would buy the other keyboards. Workstation sales are primarily driven by the factory sounds, which is why manufacturers spend a lot of money to create those sounds. But for REAL acoustic samples the M3 is Crap.Ĭan you please post why you think the M3 is a better board than an XS?Īnd what type of music do you play? In case you ask me I do it all. Now, if you compose electronica which pretty much ONLY deals with repetitive raver arpeggios, and nice, ambient synth pads then yes the M3 is 'Awesome.'. Karma (probably why you bought it, if you did)Ī keyboard that caters to the 'I need my synth to look like an Ipod' crowd.Įxpansion for a Radius on the 73, and 88 versions. I bet your favorite band is Linkin Park, huh? What IS clear is that the M3 lacks what the other synths have.ĭrum kits? (Not Korg) I could keep going. Even though the XS has introduced the Biggest ROM in the market, it is pretty clear that the race of workstations is won by M3 at least for know.
