M3 - Reviews - Music Tech Magazine

The Korg M1 had the distinction of being the world’s first workstation, so is the company’s new M3 likely to be equally distinguished? Hollin Jones finds out...

Price: £1,879.00
Manufacturer: Korg
Website: http://www.korg.com

The introduction of the M1 in 1988 revolutionised the way people thought about technology in music. The first ever workstation, it defined the concept of an all-in-one sequencer and sample-based synth that could be used to produce entire tracks. Since then things have moved on considerably, and after a marathon seven years in production it was eventually superseded by the T Series, 01/W and Triton models, each building on the strengths of the last.
