Capture your ideas and transform them into finished productions
The Korg i3 Music Workstation offers numerous ways to capture your creativity so it can be saved, edited, or shared. All of the settings used to create a song or performance can be saved into a single Set List location for instant recall. The i3’s sequencer is a linear16-track recorder in the Normal mode. In Backing Sequencer mode, the i3 captures all Style Performance Set parts and all Sound Set parts in a single pass, placing each part on a separate track. This way, an individual track can still be edited or replaced as you would in a regular sequence. At Sweetwater, we really love this feature!
