Available option boards for
the M3
You can enhance the M3’s capabilities by installing any
or all of the following options.
● EXB-RADIAS
(RADIAS Synthesizer Board)
Based on the MMT (Multiple Modeling Technology)
synth engine that powers the RADIAS and R3, the
EXB-RADIAS synthesizer/vocoder option provides up
to 24 voices of polyphony and offers a wide range of
tonal variations.
● EXB-FW
(FireWire Board)
The EXB-FW FireWire Interface allows you to transmit
both MIDI and Audio messages to and from your
computer. The EXB-FW also allows the M3 to behave
as a virtual instrument (Virtualized Hardware) by
using the M3 Plug-In Editor inside a host application.
The EXB-FW provides two FireWire connectors so that
you can daisy-chain compatible devices.
● EXB-M256
(Sample Memory Expansion)
You can expand the user sample memory by installing
this dedicated 256MB (megabyte) memory board in
your M3.
Calendar battery
● Calendar battery
The calendar battery maintains the time and date that
are recorded each time you save data. The M3 uses a
CR2032 battery.
CR2032 batteries that are compatible with the M3

Verifying installation
When you power-on the M3, the display will show the
option boards and memory that are currently installed.
After installing memory or an option board, you must
turn on the power and verify that the name of the item
you installed is shown in the display.
If it is not shown, the item may not have been installed
correctly. Check once again to ensure that the item is
correctly installed.
Servicing the calendar battery
If the calendar battery is not installed correctly, or if the
battery voltage is too low, the following message will
appear in the display when you turn on the power.
Make sure that you are not using a battery that has run
down, and that the battery is installed correctly.
However, please be aware that this message will also
appear the first time you turn on the power after
replacing the calendar battery.
If you have any questions regarding installation, please
contact Korg customer service.
