Overview
The M3 heralds the third generation of Korg Workstations. The M1 started
it all, first appearing in 1988 to bring the world a new concept called
the “music workstation.” It went on to become the best selling
workstation in history, and was further expanded and enhanced through
the T and O1/W series. Trinity defined a new level of innovations including
touch screen technology and configurable effects, and was the forbearer
of the successful TRITON range of products.
