Am I right in going for the M3, even if it's a little more money with expansion RAM+sample sets? Sequencer/arps, etc. I would not enjoy lugging that behemoth to gigs.
MAINSTAGE PC EQUIVALENT PATCH
The only advantage I can see is the patch remain feature, as I was not impressed by the stock sounds, the organs in particular. Guitar Center has an old demo model on clearance for $1199. The other keyboard I was looking at was the Roland Fantom G8.

I gather this was not possible when the M3 first came out, but now you can use a Karma scene to seamlessly switch-although that's limited to 4 patches, correct? All the posts I saw about this were from a few years ago has this been addressed in any software updates from Korg? I'm not sure how important this feature will be to me and whether or not it will be a deal-breaker. One thing I'm not sure about is the ability to hold a sound with the sustain pedal, change patch, and have the old sound sustain through the patch change. I've programmed a few combis with splits and layers on the Triton-the M3 interface looks pretty similar. Right now, I'm using the band's Kurzweil stage piano for piano and their original Triton for everything else. I play guitars as well with this band, and it would make loading in/out a lot easier. It would be awesome to just take the module from the M3 and control it with my MIDI controller for gigs where I'm not playing a lot of piano. I would buy K-Sounds Organimation sample set since I'm used to playing real Hammonds at home and church, and I might get their piano samples eventually, depending on how I like stock piano. I'd like to be able to save time by setting up the combis/layers/splits on my PC.įor the rock band I mostly play Hammond, piano, and EPs, with some '80s synth sounds for the Rod Stewart tribute set they do. with RAM expansion and aftermarket programs/combis being an option. I need a wide variety of good sounds including pianos, EPs, organs, strings, winds, brass, synths, etc. Please let me know if I am wrong on any of these and feel free to recommend other keyboards that might suit me.įor theatre gigs I need to program a sequence of up to 4-500 combis (~2 patch changes per page of 200-page book) and use a footswitch to advance to the next combi.

There's an M3 88 listed on my local craigslist for $1000, but it's an hour away so I want to be prepared when I go try it out.įrom what I've read in the manual and online, the M3 88 has all the features I'm going to list. Keyboards is a secondary instrument for me, otherwise I'd budget more. Right now I have ~$1000 to spend on a board (either new or used), not including amp, accessories, etc. As of now, I'll mainly be using it for 2 things: playing musical theatre gigs in a pit orchestra and gigging with a rock band. I have a 61-key MIDI controller I use with my computer but I'm going to need 88 keys I also don't want to have to rely on a laptop. I'm starting to get hired as a keyboard player now, so I'm looking to buy my first professional keyboard. Hello all, I'm new to the forum and I was wondering if I could get your advice.

I should say too, that I'm excited enough for this, that the MainStage thing might not necessarily be a dealbreaker, but I'd still like to know what I'm getting myself into.Korg Forums :: View topic - Is the M3 right for me?Ī forum for Korg product users and musicians around the world.

I don't really intend to do much recording, if any, on it, so I'm not too worried about Logic Pro X (though if it ran LPX, that would definitely be a bonus).

I've been eyeing up a few apps, MainStage being one of them.ĭo you guys think this new MacBook could run that live? It definitely meets the minimum requirements, but I doubt that those requirements really mean smooth operation either.

Plus taking a MacBook on stage is easier than a whole whack of pedals. And for a while I've been thinking about ditching all my 'real-world' guitar pedals (which, especially the analog ones, tend to break down, or react oddly with the electrical wiring in different buildings) for a more dependable electronic rig. However, I'm also a musician (when I get the time). And for my more involved tasks, I can do that at home on an iMac, so I'm not too worried about that. It seems like it would be great for hauling to class, working at the library etc. I'm a writer, grad student and university instructor, so this machine excites me to no end.
