[@karma-lab]

The latest Korg keyboard incorporating KARMA Technology is the Kronos. You can find out more about KARMA at karma-lab.com. Specifically: www.karma-lab.com/karma/What_Is_KARMA.html www.karma-lab.com/karma/HowDoesKARMAWork.html

The sounds are good. The M3, however, has such a small lifespan, due to it's notorious touch-screen failing problem, that unless you want to throw your money down the drain as I did, I'd advice staying clear of this synth, but look to use KARMA on another, newer synth.

[@karma-lab]

The failure of the touch screen is not the "death" of an M3. It's easy and relatively inexpensive to get it replaced. I had two M3's (now just one) and I've had the screen replaced in both of them, for a "brand new" M3. It's true it fails, but this is well-known and easy to fix. Just sayin'...

[@Rich7714]

The point is firstly that expensive synths shouldn't be designed with screens which need to be replaced, & secondly, as with many musicians, I certainly don't have the money to go & buy screens when I already had to save up to buy the synth in the first place. It's not even possible to re-calibrate the screen, since the screen doesn't work. If there were some other simple button functions, for example horizontal arrows, then I would be able to move between tabs at the bottom of the screen.

I'm not going to get in hosting rants about Korg and/or device durability here. I guess you can either fix it, or use it as a boat anchor - it's up to you. I'm just telling you it's definitely fixable and you will have a like-new M3 when you're done.
