I don;t think Korg is keeping up with Roland and Yamaha.....
I thought the M3 was WS to own for awhile yet the The M3 88 is now lowered to $2600 while Yamaha is raising their MAP prices of the Motif XS8 $300 to $3600 and Roland is offering $300 Rebates on their Fantom G8 WS.
Korg had the top workstations for the past 20 or so years starting with the M1 and continuing through the Triton series.
Something went awry with the M3 since they had to lower their price and now are suddenly asking for feedback.....I think Korg is grasping for something here. We had an M50 show up DOA and a PA50 with a cracked case in the past couple months out of a total of six boards we ordered.
