Tell me guys, what gigs are you going to work with the M3..It is a novelty instrument..A repackaged Triton synth with Karma modes....

Sorry, I am not interested ..

It does sound good with Kay at the helm..but I could barely get thru the demo..for my ears..NO GO

No offense to you folks that liked it...just my own opinion..


No problem but it's worth pointing out a couple of factual errors in your post.

First, it's not a repackaged Triton. Actually it has far more in common with a repackaged, cut down Oasys than the Triton range at all.

Secondly, Stephen Kay is not the only person who can demo the M3. Given that the M3 and the Oasys have almost identical Karma 2 functions then It is really easy to work with as I know from working for over a year with the Oasys. Actually, the easiest thing you can do with the M3 is to demo it because of Karma which is so simple to use and yet can produce these amazingly complex sounds and arrangements/ideas.

Finally, I have to agree with you about Stephens videos. Not my style of music either (even though it is excellently played and performed...) but if you look beyond the music and see what he is actually doing and how he is doing it, it's an amazingly simple and yet incredibly powerful demonstration of Karma 2 in a live situation.


Anyhow, no offence taken at all.. and yes, Karma 2 in either the M3 or Oasys, is not for everyone. That I fully agree with wholeheartedly.

Cheers..

Nigel
