R3


NOW in our shop !! Compact synthesizer with full-size keys, ideal for enjoying sound creation or performance

The R3 is a full-fledged synthesizer that provides an easy way to enjoy the delights of sophisticated synthesis and advanced sound creation. In a compact and light-weight body, it packs 37 fullsize, velocity sensing keys, along with two-timbre/eight-voice performance power.

The sound generator section uses the same acclaimed MMT (Multiple Modeling Technology) used by the KORG RADIAS, delivering thick, gutsy, and crisp analog sounds. With quality that will satisfy both professionals and beginners, the R3 is a great choice for adding synth sounds on stage or in music production.

Amazing sonic power from Korg's MMT analog modeling sound generator

The versatile range of built-in oscillator algorithms covers everything from familiar analog synthesizer waveforms, to the unique formant waveform, noise, DWGS PCM waveforms and even live audio input. Starting with these oscillator algorithms, you can use a powerful synth engine coupled with simple operations to produce an enormous range of tonal variation. Each timbre can use up to two Insert effects plus EQ, and a global Master effect can be used to process the sound of the entire R3. Add an ultra-powerful formant-recording vocoder, and the R3 gives you plenty of possibilities to enjoy creating synthesizer sounds.

 

 



 

M3


WOW.. wat een fantastische nieuwe synthesizer van Korg...

Deze M3 klinkt ongelofelijk goed, hij werkt super gemakkelijk en vlot en heeft een waanzinnige hoeveelheid uitstekende klanken aan boord...
Zonder enige twijfel... een van onze favorieten !

NU IN DE WINKEL !!

The M3 features a number of innovations distilled from the flagship OASYS including the new EDS (Enhanced Definition Synthesis) sound generator derived from the HD-1 engine design, the advanced second-generation KARMA functionality, and the multi-purpose control surface. Adding innovations such as the new concept of “virtualized hardware” that allows an even closer integration with DAW systems, Drum Tracks which provide a instant groove to play along with, and the new "Korg Komponent System" concept that facilitates more flexible system construction, the M3 music workstation/sampler opens a new and exciting page in music making - it’s the workstation that rightfully deserves to wear the “M” that started it all.

RADIAS

Radias Rack : € 995.- (incl TAX)

NOW in our shop !! Come and listen to this marvelous Synthesizer !

Korg has a fabulous new synthesizer... The Radias is a RACK that can be attached to a special keyboard unit and then be tilted, very much like the old minimoog !

We had a pre-demo on Friday the 3th of March in our shop, and man oh man this baby sounds SUPER !!!

With a bold new approach that is at once both daring and familiar, RADIAS exceeds common analog expectations and rapidly takes off for uncharted territories. Based on Korg's cutting-edge MMT engine, this 24-voice synthesizer offers a variety of synthesis algorithms together with multiple effects, new comb filter and wave shaping features, modulation sequencing, as well as new formant-motion vocoding.

INNOVATIVE TIMBRE SYNTHESIS TEAMED WITH REMARKABLE FIDELITY

The heart of RADIAS beats with Korg's cutting-edge MMT (Multi Modeling Technology) synth engine, and borrows much of its modeling techniques from Korg's flagship OASYS – eliminating aliasing noise in even the highest frequencies and delivering clean, pure waveforms. RADIAS provides two oscillators for each timbre. Between them, they deliver not only modeled analog waveforms, but also formant waveforms, noise, ring modulation, sync, plus both classic and up-to-date PCM waveforms. When using the analog modeled waveforms, a variety of oscillator modulation algorithms – including pulse-width modulation, a massive Unison mode, Korg's proprietary VPM (Variable Phase Modulation) or cross modulation – can be used to create complex sounds, even from a single oscillator.
