Korg | M3R

Description

The M3R is a 19" rack mount digital synthesizer module featuring the AI2 synthesis found in the M1 series of synthesizers from Korg. It cost about half as much as an M1 and offered a lighter wave rom as a result but still had a full set of excellent sounds for the player.

In Combination mode it offered up to 8 programs simultaneously It also included a full set of effects and was 16 part multitimbral playback via MIDI.

It was programmable in a scaled down form by way of a single oscillator which could have two wave forms.

Velocity As with a piano, the harder you hit a key, the louder the sound, unlike most organs which always produce the same loudness no matter how hard you hit a key. Aftertouch Pressing a key after you activated it. Channel Aftertouch, no matter which key, it will send a Channel message. Poly Aftertouch, sends the pressure per key instead of the whole channel.
Values for OSC, LFO, Filter, Envelope are per voice unless stated otherwise.
