Hello everyone, i am now considering the 2 machines, so do you guys can give me some advice? i have read many reviews about them already, and i still confuse. I prefer a compact and light, and i love the accompanment too, just wonder any pros that the microstation have? such as better voice, function etc..
thanks a lot for you guys!!

I chose the Microstation for 3 reasons.

1. Effects-
Microstation- 5 Insert Effects, 2 Master Effects, 1 Insert Effects
Korg M3- 5 Insert Effects, 2 Master Effects, 2 Insert Effects

2. Midi Controller-
It replaced the 2nd Gen Axion 49 key controller I would use at home with the Korg M3 module. I keep the actual Korg M3 keybed at church and use the Microstation as a controller. It lighter to carry home on sundays than a full size keyboard.
Although the keys are small, in my opinion, their response is great. After a few minutes your fingers adjust, primarly your right pinky when playing chords.

3. Sounds Module-
Its compliments the M3 very well. It has alot of your basic bread and butter sounds and great comibnation sounds. But, if you want more, it lets you create your very own 16 timbre program.

Its like a watered down Mini-Korg M3/M50 without the touch screen and various hig end specs.

Wow thanks a lot for the great explaination!!
So how about the sequencer function? is it easy to use under microstation? actually why i want arranger due to the accompanment majorily. I just want to know is that easy to create and edit a drum backing like intro, fill etc...have you try to create a song from the MS? Could you tell more feeling about the MS? thanks a lot buddy! (I want to create all the thing from the MS, but not through PC)
