I own FOUR of these units, each one connected to the output of my Korg synths(Triton rack, 2 Trinity Racks and a Z1).

I am extremely satisfied with the quality of the M300s. Although I run Sonar and have reverb plug-ins from Lexicon and Soundforge, the quality of the M300s surpasses the software by a good margin. I like to add individual reverbs to each signal path and record with reverbs on(instead of adding them on when mixing down). The variety of reverb choices allows me to enhance the quality of my patches and add a unique characteristic to each one.

Also, and very important for me, is the quality of the M300's compressor. I run all my synths through the compressor and avoid having to worry about limiting my output signal when recording. I can be assured that the signal will not clip or distort the amps on my Mackie mixer, no matter how hard I bang my keyboard controller.

I HIGHLY recommend the M300 to anyone that records synthesizers; specially if you are annoyed by clipping and distortion from very active patches. The compressor alone is worth the price of the unit. The reverbs are the icing on the cake! This is a professional unit, disguised in entry levels clothes.

Need some effects on a budget for your home studio? Then to feel like a true professional, you need this.

I currently use the M300 in my home studio and I use it through my Behringer Mixer (using the FX Send). The effects you can use with this processor work really well and to date I have had no issues with it. I've used this for vocals, guitar and keyboard with some stunning results.

The product manual is short and sweet (even comes with a Quick Start chapter to get you straight into it) and the whole unit is easy to configure and use. The front panel dials are sturdy and self explanatory. You'll be adding some great FX to your mixes in minutes.

You can also set up an effect and store it in one of the 99 memory bays just incase you forget which settings you used.

For any home musician, this is an essential piece for digital recording and it won't break the bank to get. Your home studio will thank you for it.
