The Korg X3 is a digital synthesizer music workstation released in 1993 as Korg's next flagship AI² keyboard following up the Korg 01/W. It brings on the floppy disk drive like the Korg 01/Wfd for preset and sequencer saving purposes, and features more multisounds and presets than the Korg 01/W, though drops the Waveshaping feature. It also introduces GM support.

Variants

Korg X3R

The Korg X3R is a 2U rackmount version of the Korg X3.

Korg X2

The Korg X2 is a 76 Key variant of the Korg X3 that has a 2MB bigger waverom and an extra piano multisound (340 Piano), as well as replacing A01 Piano '16 and B01 ExpressoPf from the program list with A01 X2 Piano and B01 Piano '8 respectively.

Korg 05R/W

The KORG 05R/W, in spite of its named associated with the 01/W series, is actually a halfrack module version of the Korg X3, missing Bank B for both Programs and Combinations, as well as losing all the card expandability options, sequencer and having a much smaller 16x2 character LCD due to the greatly reduced form factor. Though, it introduces a Serial MIDI port, matching the then-emerging trend of budget computer music modules in the early 90's.[2]'

Korg X5

The Korg X5, while being a lower spec version of the Korg X5D, is just the Korg 05R/W reintroduced as an budget keyboard synthesizer in 1995, featuring the same 16x2 display, same specifications and presets.
