Independent shopping perspective
The Korena take
KORG’s i3 is a 61-key music arranger that turns played ideas into structured performances using Sound Sets, Style Performance Sets, effects, and EQ. Its velocity-sensing keys offer three touch curves plus a fixed setting, while 200 Sound Sets can combine up to four keyboard sounds. Select from 270 styles to add backing parts that follow your chords, then record the result through the onboard sequencer. It handles MIDI and audio playback, saves performance settings into Set Lists, and can capture a complete performance as a 44.1 kHz WAV file.
Strong match
Who this is for
- Writing arrangements from keyboard ideas with chord-following backing parts, selectable styles, and editable recorded tracks.
- Performing with layered or split keyboard sounds, real-time joystick articulation, and stored Set List settings.
- Capturing a complete i3 performance as audio for WAV export or recording sequences as MIDI data.
Consider the trade-offs
When to look elsewhere
- Players who require more than 61 keys.
- Players who need a foot controller with half-damper support.
