... besides that, you can sample ...

Part sampler is pretty good, although limited to four pads
you can resample, loop or one-shot, to grind a little sample ...
okay, this is ...
it can easily add pep to a com ...

UTILIZATION

very ... simple ... use ...
the manual is very clear, it must be read ... then read it again if need is not very complicated ...
we get out quickly without, it is very intuitive as machine ...

SOUND QUALITY

good, there are few things that I almost never use, but I think it's a matter of taste ...
eg synth ', which are relatively horrible for me ...
some effects that are not suited to what I do ...

but overall, I completely broke, it's a great asset in a set with drum machine / synth / sampler ...

for now I use it with a electribe, which is accompanied by a midi keyboard ...
synchronize the three fingers in the nose ... too easy ...

OVERALL OPINION

So it makes a 1/2 years that I have this KP3 ...

I have not tried any models before, this is wrong ... I know ... ^ ^
but ok, I'm not disappointed at all ...

the most:
all effects within range of wheel
ways to save on its preset SD
intuitive to death
fun

the least:
in just over a sequencer and samples were top, but do not push it either ... ^ ^
I do not see too much "less" actually



the value for money?
This is the Korg, it's honest, this is not the best quality but it's not the most expensive either ...
after you must know that the beast has a metal shell, although robust ... casually ...



I will ever choose a KP3 without hesitation, but I would have done after completing my set of other things ...
I might have bought a sampler first, and only after the KP3 ...
