Packed with convenient features, the KDM-3 offers one-touch operation with a blinking Start/Stop button that provides a clear visual indication of the tempo, and an easily readable, large display that shows the settings at a glance.

Korg KDM-3 Reviews

Initial Impression

By Randy
Rated 5 out of 5
Date: 2024-01-04

I just received my new Korg KDM-3 so initial impression is all I can offer. That in impression though is excellent. Simple to use, volume is more than loud enough to hear over my bass at venue levels. I've read a couple of complaints about the Tempo knob felling loose but it doesn't feel that bad to me I've only used mine for a few hours so I can't really give anything in depth but check back with me in a few months and I'll know more then
