I have a Kronos and the M3 (with the Radias expansion). Some things just sound better on the M3. The one I have considered selling is Kronos. Now I also have a rack Radias and the N5 (not ex). And while I've considered selling them also, decide against it after a even a quick play. I admit the N5 is probably the most sentimental since it is such a gig-workhorse. Small size with good feeling keys and aftertouch. I've literally played parties that seemed to be little more than a one night crack-den for the affluent with it - and it keeps on kicking. I also love that it boots in seven seconds. I haven't used it in recording for years except as an additional controller.goldenanalog wrote: ↑Fri Jan 15, 2021 5:07 am My primary axe is still my Korg M3 - it’s was improved by primarily software expanders (sound sets) released back in the day - it’s a good reliable all-rounder as a gigging instrument; but it’s no Kronos - and never will it be.
But I really suggest holding on to your M3. It sounds different than the Kronos and the Legacy software.
The other hardware I wouldn't let go of willingly is my V-Synth-GT and R70. For me, both of those feel like the last great things that company produced.
