M3 Version 1.2 Overview
Version 1.2 of the M3 system software adds 512 new pro-
grams to your M3 Music Workstation/Sampler.
These sounds place a particular emphasis on keyboard
instruments, including distinctive vintage electric

M3 Version 1.1 Overview
In addition to adding new features and functions, this
update also includes various improvements and resolves
certain minor operational issues.
M3 Version 1.1 provides the following new features.
EXB-FW Support
This M3 Version 1.1 O.S. update (or higher) is required in
order to use the EXB-FW FireWire option (sold sepa-
rately). In addition, the M3 Editor/Plug-In editor must
be at version 1.5 or later in order to use the EXB-FW
option. For details on the operating requirements for a
computer to run the latest M3 Editor/Plug-In Editor and
the installation procedure, please refer to “M3 Editor/
Plug-In Editor owner’s manual.”
By installing the EXB-FW FireWire option, the M3 can be
used as an audio/MIDI interface with your computer
via FireWire cable.
EXB-RADIAS Support and Enhanced Virtual Patch
Functionality
The M3 Version 1.1 O.S. update (or higher) is required in
order to use the EXB-RADIAS MMT Synthesis Option.
In addition, the EXB-RADIAS must be at version 2.0 or
later.
* If the start-up display does not indicate EXB-RADIAS
system software version “EXB-RADIAS (V2.0)” or
later, please download and install the latest system
software - available free of charge from the Korg web-
site (http://www.korg.com/M3).
To enhance the operation of your EXB-RADIAS, twenty-
seven virtual patch destination parameters have been
added. This allows you to use a controller or EG/LFO to
produce even more versatile modulation.
For more details, refer to “EXB-RADIAS owner’s man-
ual” (page 28).
Additional velocity curve added
A new velocity curve (#9) has been added. Compared to
the standard curve #4, this new velocity curve softens
the response of gently-played notes. This allows velocity
control with broader dynamics for sounds like an acous-
tic piano. This setting is recommended for the RH3
graded hammer action of the M3XP-88.
For more details, please refer to the “M3 Parameter
Guide” (page 372).
