It's all opinion, of course, but I feel Roland is the best all-around, then Yamaha then Korg for natural stuff, BUT, Korg is the best for straight up 'synthesis' stuff, then Roland then Yamaha.
The M3 hasn't impressed me whatsoever. The KARMA 2 is used as a glorified drum machine on the M3. A pity really. I was hoping for MUCH more creative and musically useful patches. All the great synthetic wonderfully moving patches on the M3 had KARMA turned OFF, which I found amusing. Granted, I've only played with it for a few hours. I have the KARMA 1.0 software on my PC for my Triton rack. I think the orignal patches are better, strangly enough.
