wow awesome. was my first workstation back in .... 1995 ?, got the trinity pro in 97 then........ then the M3, then the triton extreme, and now the kronos 2 :) forever KORG
Typical Korg 80s quality, very nice! I'm a big fan of the Korg Workstations of the 80s and 90s! The M3R lacks OSCs (thinner sound), small display, difficult to program etc. I always preferred the Korg Mirex! (M1R ex) :) Yep I remember the demo song, very nice, thanks for presenting it here!
The name of that first demo song is called Lady Amazon. You can see a number of the names here in this video: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-wW093GGS7po.html
@@synthesizerhome2041 spot on. In the M3R (and M1/R and T series, you can have single oscillator programs and then stack them up in combi mode where they can be panned and sent to their own fx busses etc. However you need to do all your synthesis programming at the program level. Roland and Yamaha allowed up to 4 oscillators per patch or voice at the time but the polyphony was also vastly reduced.
Such great presence and dynamic, still today.....my Korg X5Dr has better realistic sounds, due its bigger Ram, but also my TWO M3r can't be beaten by it in warmth and punch!
@@jaxonjaxonfied1931 did You try the freeware Hammond bank made more than 20 years ago by Frank Carvalho? A must try for the 64 poliphony notes on the X5Dr. He compared his presets with the ones on his L100 Hammond, using his ears and an oscilloscope!!
For some reason I've always associated the Korg M1, M3r etc - that generation of Korg synths - with the Nintendo SNES. I think because those sounds were all over the soundtrack to Donkey Kong Country.
@@madness8556 Ok. Didn't know that! But then there still is the questions if the programs and combos from the M3R are there? And in addition to that, were the digital effects the same in the M3R as in the "big brothers"?
@@Magnus_Loov most of the programs that aren't M1 specific would be T series specific. Also the M3R has the same 33 fx as both the M1 and the T series.
