Specifications
The underlined portions describe specifications that have changed from the M3 to the M3 XP
ANDED
.
KYBD-61/73/88 keyboard assembly
M3XP-M sound module
Operating temperature ±0 – +40 °C
System KKS (KORG Komponent System)
Keyboard
88
88 key Real Weighted Hammer Action (RH3)
* The key weight of the RH3 keyboard differs in four stages across the pitch range (with low notes being
heavier, and high notes being lighter), delivering a playing feel similar to that of a grand piano.
73 Semi weighted
61 Semi weighted
Controllers Joystick, Ribbon Controller, SW1/SW2.
Interface TO MODULE (for connection with the
M3XP-M
sound module), TO MODULE (2nd) (73-key and 88-key only)
System
EDS (Enhanced Definition Synthesis)
MMT (Multi Modeling Technology) sound generator can be added by installing the optional EXB-
RADIAS
Sound Engine
Maximum Polyphony
120 voices max, single mode
60 voices max, double mode
* The actual maximum polyphony will vary depending on oscillator settings
such as stereo multisamples and velocity crossfading.
Preset PCM
256 Mbytes (when calculated as 16-bit linear data)
1,077 multisamples
(including seven stereo), 1,609 drum samples (including
116 stereo)
PCM expansion
options
EX-USB-PCM01: Brass and Woodwinds 1 approximately 128 Mbyte
(when calculated as 16-bit linear), 59 multisamples (including five stereo)
EX-USB-PCM02: Brass and Woodwinds 2 approximately 128 Mbyte
(when calculated as 16-bit linear), 47 multisamples
EX-USB-PCM03: Stereo Grand Piano approximately 128 Mbyte
(when calculated as 16-bit linear), 10 multisamples (including five stereo)
These can be used by loading them into RAM memory. The standard 64 Mbyte
RAM memory allows only one title to be loaded. If the EXB-M256 (option) is
installed, the three titles can be used simultaneously.
PCM RAM
64 Mbyte is standard (512 bytes used by the system), expandable to 320
Mbytes by installing the EXB-M256 (option)
Programs (EDS)
Oscillator
OSC1 (Single), OSC1+2 (Double): Stereo multisamples are supported
4 velocity zones per oscillator, with switching, crossfades and layers.
Filters
Four types of filter routing (single, serial, parallel, 24 dB)
Two multi-mode filters per voice (low pass, high pass, band pass, band reject)
Driver Per-voice nonlinear driver and low boost.
EQ Three bands, with sweepable mid.
Modulation
For each voice, two envelope generators (Filter & Amp), two LFOs, two key
tracking generators (Filter & Amp), and two AMS mixers
In addition, pitch EG, common LFO, and two common key tracking generators
Combinations
16 Timbres
Up to sixteen timbres, keyboard and velocity split/layer/crossfade, and
modifications to the program setting via the Tone Adjust function
Master Keyboard
functionality
These allow you to control external MIDI devices
Drum Kits
Stereo and mono drumsamples.
4-way velocity switches with crossfades and adjustable crossfade shapes (Linear, Power, Layer).
