[...] has already tried to come up with a sequel, the Korg R3, which we saw at NAMM in 2007. Now, I don’t know how the R3 sold, but I do know that while I was impressed by it on paper, it [...]

Hi guys,

I’ve got this fantastic synthesizer - whatsoever - I’m looking for any software to convert wav files in to formant’s that I can upload them to my Korg.
Does any know how to do it ?

Hey guys

So how does the R3 stack up to the micron?
Would I be correct in saying the micron is better for live use..eg when you change patches, the knobs don’t move, so as soon as you move one you often get a huge jump in that parameter’s value..

thoughts??

I just purchased a new R3 just a few hours ago and this little thing is amazing.It’s not hard to navagate and it has the phattest sounds you’ve ever layed ears on.not to mention the vocoder itself.I also have a rocktron banshee and it is no match for this awesome little keyboard.to sum it all up…. IIII Like IT !!!

I ordered one of these R3’s for my live gigs. I plan to give it a whirl in the studio as well. I sold my MicroKorg and miss it alot.
We will see what this baby sounds like with my M3.

The Korg “Baby Rad”!

Not gonna hold my breath after the HUGE dissapointment of the Korg Micro X (Great sounds but, cheap, cheap, cheap everywhere else! Not to mention the totally DORKY orange hard case that it comes with!) I’m hoping the R3 will have some meat on it’s bones and be ideal for actual travel. A simple nylon gig bag would be sufficient, thank you!

Well good on you guys at korg lol. I used to own a microkorg but it kind of died lol. I work as a professional electronic musician and sound designer and have an affinity for sexy synths. from what I’ve heard from a friend of mine at korg its a real beauty. as a blind musician, the feel and controlability matters. I’ve always been connected with the 3 main brands (KORG, Roland, Yamaha and Nord Lead) sorry 4. can’t count lol. the R3 when it’s released will be the module for my new lazer harp for stage use lol. the M3 is really worth buying if you don’t want to spend money on the OASYS systemn. I’ve tried it and didn’t like it. not accessible enough for my needs.
