PRESS RELEASE

M3 Xpanded Music Workstation Sampler

January 22, 2009

Korg's most significant upgrade ever now offers four complete PCM expansion volumes, new DAW derived editing tools, and numerous interface enhancements

Korg features its most far-reaching enhancement ever for a keyboard workstation, the new M3 XPanded (available at http://www.korg.com/m3. This free major upgrade of Korg's flagship M3 Workstation offers 668 MB of expansive new sounds, interactive interface functionality, advanced sequencer enhancements, additions to Korg's exclusive KARMA® technology and more.

M3 XPanded features updated internal PCM, plus 412 MB of free sample expansion, delivering a staggering number of sound variations. New piano and classic keyboard samples — including three acoustic pianos, 3-way tine and reed electric pianos and four velocity-switched clavs, plus vintage tape-playback strings and flutes — have been added to the internal ROM, along with 160 new Programs and 32 new Combinations, bringing the total to 1,215 (EDS) onboard Programs and 416 Combinations available for use.

Three sample expansion libraries have been included on a USB memory stick for loading into sample RAM. The first two collections, EX-USB-PCM01/02 (128 MB each), adapt and customize the EXs3 "Brass and Woodwinds" sample library (first developed for Korg's OASYS music workstation) for the M3's EDS synthesis engine, delivering remarkably natural brass and woodwind sounds. The third library, EX-USB-PCM03 features a stereo grand piano lavishly sampled at four velocities plus ambient damper resonance to realistically deliver the richness and natural spaciousness of a top-level full concert grand.

Finally, the recently released EX-USB-PCM04, featuring the original Stereo Piano PCM and Program data from the M3 Version 1 system is now available for download, bringing the PCM total to 668 MB*, over two and a half times that of the original M3.
