Feature:
I like the two sequencers.
Quality:
Cheap, cheap cheap. I bought this keyboard 8 months ago and I have replaced the Db and Eb key. I never seen anything so cheap in my life. The Casio $99 keyboard have better keys. This is only a toy for children.
Desirability:
I am very disappointed with quality keyboard. I have a Roland and Yamaha. Never had any problems with anything breaking, especially the keys.
Sound:
The sounds are not bad for a $1000 keyboard.
Ease of Use:
This is not a user friendly keyboard. It takes time to learn it. You can go in certain modes and it will lockup with you. What I mean is whatever button you press will not change the mode or sound. I have to reboot in order to get back where I need to be.
Support:
These guys do not have a clue.
Overall:
This is a home unit and not to be carried from place to place. The keyboard shell cheap plastic.

I like the knobs. They gave you a bit of interaction with the sounds. The ARP works fine. Lot of usefull sequenzes. LCD is poor! Even my Handy XDA got a better one. Like the USB Port for direct access with the Computer.
Quality:
Low cheap quality with lots of problems. USB sometimes cause problems. After disconneting the Editor I got no sound from the X-50. Sometimes the whole thing crashes. Last firmware update was made, but it didn

The M3 features a number of innovations distilled from the flagship OASYS including the new EDS (Enhanced Definition Synthesis) sound generator derived from the HD-1 engine design, the advanced second-generation KARMA functionality, and the multi-purpose control surface. Adding innovations such as the new concept of “virtualized hardware” that allows an even closer integration with DAW systems, Drum Tracks which provide an instant groove to play along with, and the new “Korg Komponent System” concept that facilitates more flexible system construction, the M3 music workstation/sampler opens a new and exciting page in music making — it’s the workstation that rightfully deserves to wear the “M” that started it all.

Ease of Use:
very user friendly, very usable sounds.
Support:
n/a
Overall:
Well after a week of playing on this board I must say that I am impressed. I took it to church and compared some of the sounds with my motif and I must say they were pretty close. I don’t have my classic anymore so I compared it to my es. I am also impressed with how user friendly it is and the beat patterns are awesome. For the price you can’t beat it for the classic motif sounds in an inexpensive package there’s no comparison. I’m using mind right now just to jam on and create new ideas also I will probably use it on wednesday when I don’t have a drummer, long story short get one.
