Many thought that the OASYS, which was released just two years before the M3, would take this honor, but as groundbreaking as it was, it really couldn't be called affordable. The company already proved themselves to be very capable of producing quality workstations at an affordable price, with the M1 and successors, such as the Trinity.

The 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. The Korg M3 was released in 2007 and heralded by Korg as their third generation workstation. The KORG KRONOS/NAUTILUS complements both programs and combinations with the simultaneous generation of drum grooves by the use of the 'drum patterns' feature.

All of the function buttons seem to work but, since we couldn't get the keys to play there could be other issues that we're not aware of. EXs63 'Sophisticated Grooves II' - the second KARO Sophisticated Grooves library, KARO tried to capture the feeling of a live drummer. The display screen is bright and clear and the touch screen work well. As you can see in the video the demo song plays well but we don't get sound from the keys or the pads. This M3 is in good condition cosmetically but has functional issues.
