It remains a favorite among musicians for its ability to blend acoustic realism with cutting-edge synthesis. Aftermarket – M3 builds on this legacy by delivering a meticulously crafted Sample Pack that brings the iconic M3’s sound to your DAW.
A Comprehensive Sampling of the Korg M3
The Aftermarket – M3 Sample Pack captures the essence of the M3, featuring over 1,750 24-bit samples recorded at 44.1kHz. These samples include recreations of the M3’s most iconic factory patches, along with innovative variations and entirely new sounds programmed by the team at SoundEngine. By leveraging the M3’s renowned Enhanced Definition Synthesis (EDS) engine, the Sample Pack covers a wide sonic range—from lush pads and sharp leads to intricate textures and expressive acoustic emulations.
