🙋🏻‍♂️ Welcome and Foreword

Hello and welcome to my Reverb Shop!

Thank you for your interest in this listing. Every instrument I offer comes from my private collection and is treated with great care and respect. Each instrument is thoroughly checked and tested to ensure full functionality and excellent condition. Before any instrument is listed for sale, it goes through a professional multi-stage inspection by our technician. Only after successfully passing all functional and visual checks is it approved for listing.

I am aware that my prices may be above average, but this reflects my commitment to transparency, careful preparation, and customer satisfaction. Packaging alone takes 2–4 hours, with multiple layers of protection to ensure safe and worry-free transport. Quality — both of the instruments and my work — is my top priority. I am always available to answer questions and ensure a smooth buying experience.

Enjoy reading the description.

🎹 Information about the Item for Sale

I am offering an exceptionally rare and highly sought-after version of late-80s digital workstation history: the Korg T3 EX. While the standard T3 is already a magnificent instrument, the EX factory upgrade transforms this machine into an entirely different beast by pre-installing Korg's legendary internal RAM expansion.

The Korg T3 EX runs on Korg’s famous Advanced Integrated (AI) Synthesis system. What makes the EX version the absolute holy grail of the T-series is that it features 1 Megabyte of non-volatile Sample RAM. This means you are not limited to the factory PCM waveforms. You can actually load your own custom samples, multisamples, and external drum sounds into the machine via the floppy disk drive. The samples remain safely stored in memory even after you turn the synthesizer off!

It perfectly blends the legendary, crisp, and punchy 16-bit digital character of the M1/T3 engine with the endless sound design flexibility of a true sampler.

Technically, this Korg T3 EX is in excellent operational condition. The internal backup battery is fresh, the complex internal floppy disk drive read/write paths perform flawlessly, and the sample RAM has been fully verified. Every single button, slider, the bright backlit graphic LCD, and the expressive Korg joystick respond with perfect precision. Optically, the workstation is very well-preserved, showing only normal, light signs of wear consistent with its vintage age, keeping a beautifully stealthy and commanding studio presence.

Please note: This listing includes the Korg T3 EX and the power cable.
