This Keyboard Workstation Will XPand Your Potential!

Powerful enhancements to the sequencer and interface make the Korg M3 keyboard workstation the go-to instrument for your music making.

The Next Coming Of M - A Third Generation Keyboard Workstation
The M3 heralds the third generation of Korg Workstations. The M1 is the keyboard workstation that 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 keyboard 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 Keyboard Workstation Category Once Again.
The Korg 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 an instant groove to play along with, and the new "Korg Komponent System" concept that facilitates more flexible system construction, this keyboard workstation/sampler opens a new and exciting page in music making. Plain and simple, the Korg M3 is the keyboard workstation that rightfully deserves to wear the "M" that started it all.

YAMAHA KB-180


Direct switches enable easy access
Portamento, Sustain, Digital Reverb and Chorus effects for getting just the right sound
Real-time pitch control with pitch bend wheel
Song Memory feature lets you record your performance
Direct switches enable easy access

Ideal educational keyboard for PK. The KB-180 is a 61-key Touch Response keyboard with natural sounding Voices, including 11 China Voices and 1 China Drum Kits. The KB-180 also has 2 China Styles in addition to 110 accompaniment Styles, and 10 Demo Songs including 5 China Songs. The Realistic Sounds contribute to enrich expressiveness. Easy panel layout with direct switches enables you to instantly call up what you need. Furthermore, the convenient Registration Memory feature and the attractive feature such as Touch Response, Recording, etc. are onboard.

Portamento

Portamento is an effect similar to a glissando, where the pitch changes in continuous glide from one note to the next, through all the intermediate pitches.

Sustain

Sustain adds a slow, natural decay to the Voices. It is particularly effective on piano and stringed instrument Voices, making the sound richer and more authentic on slowly played passages.

Reverb

Reverb effect with different reverb types lets you add rich, extra depth and expression to the sound to create a realistic acoustic ambience.

Chorus

It alters the sound of the voices, with use of pitch modulation. Two basic types are provided: Chorus and Flanger. Chorus produces a thicker, warmer, and more animated sound, whereas Flanger creates a swirling, metallic effect.

Touch Response Keyboard

The touch response keyboard tracks the pressure applied to each key, changing the sound to correspond to that pressure for a more subtle, fluid, piano-style of playing.

Pitch Bend Wheel

Use the pitch bend wheel to dynamically adjust the sound of the keyboard. It would adds realism to voices like electric guitar.
