Long ago, long trs a sudden passion for the Korg M1 synth s'emparra of many musicians, they were seen selling moog, the ARP, the Oberheim, Sequential Circuit and others to buy the M1!
The three piano module P is a product of M 1 driv. This is the piano of M 1.
Non-rack, 16-voice polyphony, MIDI 1 or 4. Until it s easy it is now that it is complicated: the 3 P 1 may play simultanment 8 stamps, multi-mode, 8 channels noon selected and one of mmoriss 16, but stamp of what is it? These two stamps piano concert (Piano1, Piano2), the other 6 from a card option ROM CHRE and indeed quite as much as I can remember. There is a drum set, a brass, strings, guitar, bass, etc ... 6 short, what one could do better in the era of Contents sample.
Stereo audio output is bi-or sound, choice, MIDI IN, OUT, THROUGH.

UTILIZATION

Once we understand how it works, thanks a manual clear Franais, a motion.
It is futile to program more than 3 sounds, given the limited polyphony (16) of P 3, especially in gnral one keeps a piano, which he alone justifies its use.
I use prfre mode and monotimbral bnficier and a polyphony comfortable.

SOUNDS

We never found the sounds of P 3 in my compositions, even if he serves as a tool for harmonic diffrent parts of a piece;
Once the piece composed in P3-I distributes parts to synths, making that the end is no longer heard. Such is his fate. Yet it has the PCHE and expression, well-sr aftertouch, but Controller 3: 64 = Damper is the great pedals of a piano, and Sostenuto 66 = 67 = Soft, like for real. Since then, it was much better, I guess.

OVERALL OPINION

I've since its release (in 1988) and never fails (anacoluthon ugly!).
The only minor default that I found is in mono, it is still pervasive on the ignition and it must send a message omni off mono (mode 4) that includes;

If I had to sell it, with 2 ROM cards, it would be in the 100.
But I never will sell, because how one expander piano score today, if indeed there are still new on the market?
