Very simular to Triton Studio,but insert effect rauting is different than in Triton, it is confusing and illogical.
Piano sounds are step down from Triton Studio.In my opinion Triton ST piano presets sound way better.Synth and string presets are great.
Radius (when installed)takes first 4 parts .But it's impossible to switch them to other parts 5,6,7,8,9,10,11,12,13,14,15,or 16 like in Triton with MOSS EXB.
Editing is no problem.
Manual is on DVD.Get your laptop running beside you.

I don't have a keyboard.I use M3 as a module.
Effects are OK.But routing is confusing.
Radius exb sounds great when installed .
Sequencer is simular to Triton Studio but it is impossible to record audio tracks, because there is no HARD DRIVE.

It is not worth what I paid for it.
Propellerheads Reason has a lot more fetures for a lot less money.

Using M3 is likely using a Triton. Only Karma, pads and X-Y controller are new at all.

Great unit with many new features. Karma works great but for me is only a toys... in studio or live session is hard to find useful this kind of arpeggiator.
Velocity curves are bad implemented. With values <4 you cant obtain max velocity on keyboard (=127) and you will turn on curve 5 or 6 but in this case you loose piano & pianissimo expression.

Great sounds but many presets are bad programmed... no aftertouch, poor expression like old preset in the Triton series.
Acoustic pianos sounds very plastic... the one on Motif XS is better.
