The Moment Counts - Inspiration and Intuition!
With the i3 Music Workstation, musical ideas and phrases quickly turn into professionally sounding productions. Thanks to the "Sound Sets" and "Style Performance Sets," tones, beats, and parts are easy to locate, so you have the right sounds and grooves at your fingertips in seconds to skillfully capture spontaneous inspirations.
With the internal effects and EQ, the sound can also be tailored to the specific application. The sequencer records MIDI and audio files and plays them back even while you perform live if needed.
The i3 offers everything from one source and is unbeatable as an inspiring and intuitive instrument for composers, versatile stage musicians, and aspiring producers. Thanks to battery power, the instrument is always ready to go anywhere. The energy-saving function even helps optimize battery life.
Generous Feature Set
The KORG i3 is a richly equipped music workstation with a velocity-sensitive 61-key keyboard in standard size. The touch response can be ideally adjusted to your playing style using three different settings. Additionally, there is a fixed velocity option for cases where dynamics play a minor role.
The transpose buttons allow pitch changes up to two octaves. The joystick, which moves on the X and Y axes, lets you refine the selected sound with pitch bend, vibrato, and other functions during live play. The 2-band EQ (low and high) is located directly on the top panel and allows precise tuning of the output signal to the acoustics of the venue.
All front panel buttons and knobs are logically arranged, and the backlit LCD display shows the current settings. The data wheel lets you quickly change the values shown on the display. The i3 is available in deep black or silver finishes.
The black version also features a rubberized, very durable top surface, giving the instrument an extremely stylish and elegant look. The perforated end plates on the sides clearly indicate that this is a premium instrument.
A Characterful Sound
The i3 presents a wide range of sounds developed by KORG over the past decades in the arranger and music workstation field. With up to 800 instrument sounds, lovingly crafted by an experienced team of programmers and musicians, the i3 offers plenty across various genres.
A GM2 sound set for perfect General MIDI compatibility is also included. Plus, 59 drum kits provide flexibility in the drum department. The i3 offers different options for shaping the sounds and parts for left and right hands with so-called "Sound Sets" and "Style Performance Sets" for accompaniment.
When selecting one of the 200 factory "Sound Sets," up to four tones can be triggered simultaneously: three layers on the right and one for the left hand (split). The split point can, of course, be changed easily via a simple key combination to suit your preferences.
The sound generation in the i3 Music Workstation is well equipped with 64-note polyphony. Two stereo effect processors with 173 algorithms each provide the icing on the cake for the sound colors. The Grand Piano button instantly calls up a high-quality grand piano sound, no matter which menu you are in.
The Perfect Combination
You’re bursting with ideas and have a few hooks ready. The matching groove is already found. Some lyric snippets are also on hand. With the KORG i3 Music Workstation, you can create brilliant songs from these ingredients in no time.
Choose a "Style Performance Set" so the i3 can handle the missing parts: drums, bass, percussion, and countless melodic accompaniment parts like groovy horn sections, guitar strummings, a string quartet, or a lively blues organ.
Up to 8 accompaniment parts can be used, forming the basis of your own composition. For each of the 270 styles, 4 matching "Style Performance Sets" are available. These are different sound colors, all fitting the genre of the chosen style.
Assigned buttons allow both the accompaniment and the parts played live to be muted instantly and their volume conveniently adjusted. By the way, the i3 offers more than just standard fare: the accompaniment sounds, grooves, and parts of a "Style Performance Set" can be modified and replaced by other parts.
The melodic accompaniment parts naturally follow the chords played on the keyboard and therefore sound convincing right away. If your hands are already full, you can use the 8 CHORD buttons to trigger the desired chords.
In this workstation, a "Style" corresponds to an almost finished song arrangement with matching sounds, parts, and chords. Each style includes 4 variations, a fill, a break, as well as intro and ending phrases. For each "Style Performance Set" (just like the "Sound Sets"), two stereo effect processors are available to fine-tune your productions.
Save and Share
Compose and play while recording. Immediately after recording, you can share your new creation with anyone you want. The KORG i3 Music Workstation offers several ways to capture songs, which can even be edited afterward (.MID files).
All settings chosen for a song, such as a preset style, "Style Performance Sets," the "Sound Set," tempo, effects, etc., can be stored in a set-list memory and recalled anytime. Ten banks with five set-list entries each are available for this.
In normal mode, the i3’s sequencer behaves like a linear 16-track recorder for MIDI data. All tracks can be extensively edited or even completely replaced. Such recordings can finally be exported as MIDI files.
Additionally, the i3 offers a performance recording mode, where all simultaneously played parts are recorded as an audio file and can be exported in .WAV format (44.1kHz). The song player can also play audio files in .WAV (44.1kHz) and MP3 formats alongside the common .MID format.
All Necessary Connections On Board
The KORG i3 Music Workstation offers the essential connections for every application. The instrument provides two 6.3mm outputs (Left/Mono and Right) for connection to an amplifier, mixer, etc., and a 3.5mm stereo headphone jack. A 3.5mm audio input is also included. The function of the 6.3mm jack for an expression pedal or footswitch can be freely defined and saved for each use case.
The MIDI OUT socket transmits MIDI and sync commands to other MIDI-capable instruments and devices. There are also two USB ports: the TO-DEVICE port allows saving and loading user data and songs on a USB storage device. The TO-HOST port is intended for connection to a computer.
The i3 can be powered by the included power supply or optionally by batteries, making it an ideal companion for mobile use. The cable of the included power supply can be secured with a hook on the back to prevent it from unplugging during use.
Huge Music Software Bundle Included
The i3 comes with a high-quality software bundle. Included is the program "Ozone Elements," which lets you create songs and master them using "AI." With "Skoove," the online piano lessons, you can effectively and enjoyably improve your skills.
Finally, "Reason Lite" is included. This is a DAW (Digital Audio Workstation) that lets you record your own music directly. Also included are software synths from KORG and other brands.
In other words, the moment you use your synthesizer for the first time, you already have a wide selection of professional software tools to take your music to the next level.
