No good deals on M3's

Post by Synthoid »

I haven't seen any "blowout" specials on the M3 now that it's discontinued. I was going to pick up an M3M for a backup, but prices aren't that low at all, except for an occasional B-stock deal. (I expected them to be $999 by now).

When the M3 first came out, I remember Triton Extremes at Guitar Center (and other places) suddenly received major discounts. Not sure why the M3 price didn't drop that much.

Sigh.

:(

Because it's a beast of a product.

I have a few m3ms available for sale if you're interested. Just send me a pm.

why you say M3 is discontinued?

it's still regularly displayed on korg.com as one of the workstation products

so maybe korg is not investing in it anymore (but in Kronos after the X?) but officially is still a supported and sold product by korg

Korg is no longer manufacturing the M3. I recently had problems getting a replacement joystick because of that. Korg support even told the service tech that it was discontinued.

Remember that OASIS remained on the site long after Korg quietly killed it.

The M3 is a great board ... grab one while you can.

I just bought a brand new M3-88 Xpanded for $1,585 from my local dealer. I feel pretty good about that!
