Having designed some of the most revolutionary synthesizers of the past decade--the Karma and the OASYS--Korg certainly hasn't made things easy on themselves. When the time came for them to develop a workstation, they knew they'd have to outdo themselves again. What's a professional digital instrument designer to do? The only thing they could: combine the best parts from their previous keyboards, add some completely fresh features, and squeeze them all into a sleek-looking, great-playing, easy-to-learn masterpiece of a workstation: the Korg M3-88. Featuring OASYS-Derived Sounds And Karma Performance Engine Any serious workstation needs to start with a serious sound set, and the Korg M3-88 includes one of the best around. The EDS, or Enhanced Definition Synthesis engine was lifted from the powerful (and far more expensive) OASYS workstation. Meaning it gives you access to the most premium sounds--including girthy pianos, rich organs, thick pads and leads, sophisticated percussion, and realistic-sounding acoustic instruments--that Korg has to offer, but at a fraction of the cost. These amazing sounds can be stacked in massive combi patches of up to sixteen layers; it's like being able to play an entire orchestra at once! With the veritable symphony inside, the Karma engine is the perfect way to show off all those rich textures. Karma was developed to be the most advanced accompaniment function available in a keyboard, and since its introduction in 2001, Karma has only gotten more sophisticated, while still remaining completely intuitive. Rhythmic patterns, chordal structures and melodic elements can all be weaved in and out of a sequence, seamlessly and in real time. Karma makes your backing tracks just as dynamic as your playing, meaning you'll not only sound better, but you'll be inspired to perform better. Should creative lightning strike, you're never more than a button-press away from recording your best performances and compositions. A Wealth Of Expression Controllers Every instrument voice on board the M3-88 has its own unique expressive nuances. In order to take full advantage of the wide selection of instrument types, it boasts an unprecedented variety of expression controllers. A responsive, three-dimensional joystick controller lets you pitch bend and modulate in the same gesture. An assignable ribbon controller can emulate vinyl scratching, or allow you to "strum" the individual strings of a guitar chord. The big, full-color display screen doubles as a touch-sensitive X/Y controller that can either dictate effects parameters or bring elements of a Karma pattern in and out of the mix. Eight faders can also be assigned to control different elements of an instrument or combi patch. Eight rubber pads can be used to play drums or samples, but they can also be assigned to play eight-note chords with a single finger, making simultaneous lead playing and sophisticated accompaniment control easy. With so many different controls, you'll never stop finding ways of expressing your musical vision. Of course, you also get 88 keys of progressively weighted "synth-action" Korg keyboard playability, so you'll never tire of playing it, either. Rich Computer Integration By now, you're probably thinking seriously about adding the M3-88 to your studio arsenal. Here's something to help seal the deal: the keyboard touts computer integration that's second to none. Via USB, it becomes a beautiful controller keyboard and DAW control surface that puts you in touch with your sessions and virtual instruments. Korg provides 100 preset control templates for the most popular recording software, and you can easily create your own custom profiles. It even acts as a hardware plug-in itself when connected, so you've got its great sounds and effects at your disposal in any VST-supporting program. Add the optional FireWire expansion card, and it becomes a full-fledged audio interface with six channels of digital audio and sixteen channels of MIDI. This keyboard will turn your entire studio into an expressive instrument. Stand-Alone Production Studio But you don't need anything other than your Korg M3-88 to create finished audio tracks. It has a fully featured production studio under its hood, complete with mixdown and mastering tools. A sophisticated 16-track sequencer can support both MIDI and digital audio elements; with built-in instrument and microphones inputs, you can integrate your own samples, or record vocal or instrumental audio to your projects with ease. Mix your projects down to stereo WAV files and drop them onto a USB flash drive, or hook up a USB CD burner and harvest the final fruits of your labor without ever having to touch a computer. A Full-Color Display For Intuitive Operation All this production and performance power is made easily accessible, thanks to the intuitive control layout and that big, beautiful, full-color screen. Because the screen is touch sensitive, menu navigation and interaction is quick and painless. Because it's big and in full color, you'll never second guess what the graphical interface is telling you, or how to get the synth to do exactly what you want it to. Korg knows that a workstation should be more than a tool, it should be a muse. By making all the technical stuff a breeze to master, the M3-88 becomes an instrument of unbridled creativity. From live performance to music production to composition, the Korg M3-88 is an instrument for every dimension of your musical being. It introduces tons of ways to express your creativity and explore the creative process, and makes learning these methods easy and fun. Simply put, the Korg M3-88 will breathe life into your music.

Korg at Musos Corner

Musos Corner is proud to be an authorised retailer and service agent for Korg audio equipment.

Korg was founded as Keio Electronic Laboratories in Japan in 1962 and its first product was an electro mechanical rhythm machine the Donca Matic DA-20 in 1963.

The name Donca Matic came from the sound the machine made. 

Korg began to focus on organs with relative success until in 1973 the company shifted into the niche synthesizer market with the release of the Mini Korg which is still in production today.

Korg is known for its innovation and is credited with developing the transpose function, the addition of effects on synthesisers as well as the sample + synthesis sound. 

Korg’s M1 workstation was released in 1988 and became the biggest selling synthesizer at that period.

The Korg Prophecy, Triton and Kronos models have also had a big impact on the industry as the company continued to produce revolutionary products with original features such as touch screens. 

Musos Corner stocks a wide range of Korg products including the popular Volca series, synthesisers, workstations, instrument tuners, effects and stage pianos.

Musos Corner highly recommends all Korg products and if we don’t have your dream Korg product in stock please contact us at Musos Corner today.

Of course! Unlike some stores, we do not charge for you to pick up in store. We are open 7 days for your convenience, but please give us a date and time of pick up so we can make sure your goods are ready.

IF you are not home, the driver will leave a card in your mail box so you can pick-up from the local depot/post office or arrange a re-delivery. 
We have found it to be much quicker & easier to have all items sent to a business address where someone will be present.

Whilst it Is possible, we highly recommend that you do not do it. All freight warranty & insurance will be void. Only do so at your own risk, if someone steals it, Musos Corner & The freight company will not be held accountable.
If you will not be able to take the delivery, it might be worth asking a friend or neighbour to take delivery of it for you.

What if it appears my goods have been freight damaged?
Please check all items before signing for them! This is very important. Do not sign for an item that appears damaged, to sign for them means "Signed for in good working order" and subsequently is out of the couriers hands, and voids insurance. If this was not possible, there can be a 24 Hour window to try and claim insurance, please contact us & the courier immediately. This only applies to orders that have paid for Insurance & are sent via courier. 

Can the courier or delivery person call me prior to delivery?
Unfortunately as often as we request this, we get denied as many times. No courier or Australia post worker will call you prior to delivery despite any bribes we may try and offer.
If you select courier we will send you a tracking number which you can use to find out an estimated time of arrival for your goods, or alternatively have it sent to a business address.

Can I have my goods delivered on the weekend or after hours?
Unfortunately this is not possible at the current point in time, however you are welcome to pickup in store late night Thursday or on weekends from our Newcastle store. Please contact us to set a pickup time.

Send to a PO BOX?
We cannot ship guitars to a PO BOX under any circumstances. Australia Post will not accept deliveries over 105cm LCM, we cannot change their policy.

Do i need to set up my product?
All guitars come fully set up ready to play (after a quick tuning). Banjos will need to be set up after delivery as they cannot be shipped set up unless they are bought with a case.
