One of the great things about the Korg M3 is that there are many ways that you can use it. The eight pads on the front panel make it easy to set up and use as a drum machine. With the addition of the drum track, sampling features and hundreds KARMA Generated Effects – that can be used for creating drum beats, you can easily turn the M3 into one of the coolest drum machines around.

Our M3 Hit Factory sound collection includes five new drum kits that we created using new samples. The “Classic Beatbox” Drum Kit For Korg M3 contains sounds from vintage 80’s drum machines and kits including the Roland TR808, TR909, CR78, Linn Drum and Simmons Drum Kit.

Beats on the track are from the combi titled “Retro Beatboxes”. No overdubbing or multi tracking was done. Everything was played live into my DAW. Interesting Note: I was also filming everything with my right hand while playing the pads, switches and sliders with my left. Now try that sometime!

Hit Factory – our third set of sounds for the Korg M3 is moving right along. All the drum kits and programs are done and I’m now working on the combis. I’m shooting for the release date of Sept 15th. 

I’ve taken a few days off from the programming to work on a video just to break things up. Just finished a combi called “He’s Raving Mad” that I think came out really well so I figured it would be a good idea to feature it as a video. All done with the help of the itunes “Visualizer” and Apples Final Cut special effects. I made good use of the “kaleidoscope”  to bring out that psychedelic effect that seemed to fit the mood of the music.

Along with the new sounds, we just finished producing a new video which features several new sounds included in the update. It’s titled “Ode To NASA”. Video footage courtesy of NASA and the Hubble Space Telescope.

Ever since watching the Apollo Space Missions back in the 60’s, I’ve always been a big fan of NASA. They have proven time and time again that what seems impossible can be accomplished once you put your mind to it. The recent mission to fix the Hubble Telescope is a perfect example of that. The tune up that the talented astronauts gave Hubble will continue to provide us with more spectacular images for years to come and help us learn more about the universe that we live in.

One of the great things about using the KARMA section of the Korg M3, is that your easily able to create stuff that would not be possible on your average music workstation. The KARMA generated effects – or better known as GE’s, give you the ability to take your music in many different directions. Some that you’ve never been before. More info on KARMA can be found at Stephen Kay’s Karma Lab website. 

In creating the M3 Soundtrack Mix, I’ve started working with the “Atonal GE’s” for the first time and quickly discovered that you can do a ton of cool stuff with orchestral instruments. The first combi in the collection is titled “Schoenberg Orchestra” – named for the Austrian/American composer Arnold Schoenberg. In case your not familiar with Schoenberg, he is credited for his pioneering innovations in “Atonality”. Atonality is music that lacks a tonal center, or key. Schoenberg developed twelve-tone technique, a widely influential compositional method of manipulating an ordered series of all twelve notes in the chromatic scale. 

I set up a three part combi using a piano, strings and orchestra hits and assigned the same Atonal GE to each of them. Very little actual playing of notes is done. Rather, I trigger the part and then let the GE cycle though it’s atonal pattern. KARMA randomizes the pattern so you don’t hear the same loop over and over again. The key is to know when to play and when to change notes or parts. The fun is it’s never the same twice so make sure you have your sequencer recording al all times! No overdubbing was done on the track. It’s all played live into the sequencer.

I thought I’d have a little fun and create a video when playing the audio through the iTunes “Visualizer”. It seems that the Visualizer and KARMA are a perfect match for creating all kinds of wonderfully random stuff. I simply set up my video camera in front of the computer monitor and hit record, imported the video into Apple’s iMovie, added some effects and here are the results.
