Korg M3-88 XPanded – 88-Note Music Production Workstation
We are brokering this instrument for and on behalf of our UK customer through RL Music’s Studio Equipment Disposal Service.
Instrument Overview
The Korg M3-88 XPanded is a professional 88-note music production workstation combining Korg’s EDS (Enhanced Definition Synthesis) sound engine with an extensive collection of acoustic and electronic instrument sounds, integrated sampling, sequencing and sophisticated performance controls.
Originally introduced as part of Korg’s M3 workstation series, the XPanded version brought an enhanced sound library and additional PCM sample content, extending the instrument’s sonic capabilities.
The M3-88 features Korg’s RH3 graded hammer-action keyboard, offering an expressive piano-style playing experience, together with the distinctive modular design of the M3 series.
With its comprehensive synthesis facilities, KARMA technology, touchscreen interface and integrated music production tools, the M3-88 XPanded remains a versatile workstation for studio composition, recording and live performance.
This particular example comes from a privately owned collection of studio equipment and has been used exclusively in our client’s home studio.
