Korg M3R synthesizer + Korg RE1 rare programmer vs Darth Digital
Published on Dec 11, 2014 NoiselabCH
"KORG M3R, a somewhat stripped down M1 in a rack (not M1R). Means there are 3mb instead of 4mb sample rom, and other presets for instance. However, it sounds very similar to the M1 and it's advantage is the rare Korg RE1 programmer/controller, it's similar to the Roland PG-10 with the Roland D-10/110.
Recorded directly into DAW without any effects, dynamics, all effects heard come from the M3R itself. Played live, no sequencing, with Yamaha AN1x as controller.
The Korg M3R without the RE1 or external software editor is a real pain to program. But it's has some kind of gritty, lo-fi, digital noise sounds which are worth to explore, beside being a good M1 alternative.
No deep programming here just a short example of arranging and tweaking presets, custom sounds and combis. Unfortunatly Darth Digital isn't the better player as Dart NoiseLab ;-) As usual more looking for spacey, sci-fi like, spooky sounds than for bread and butter.
Factory M3R demo play here and some specs: [click through video above for active YouTube links for the following]

Oh, it seems that the RE1 programmer can be used with following devices:
KORG A1
KORG M3r
KORG 03r/w
KORG wavedrum (original first generation)"
