Actually I'm not sure the M3M is a rack or an

research before buying one. Anyways, some type of M3 option should get
what you looking for at an imho reasonable price.
I think that the way Korg have done the M3 range, they basically
combine the M3-M with various keyboards; so if you buy the M3M you get
exactly the same module, just without a keyboard. Could be wrong,
though.
On the other hand, the KARMA software is available for the Korg M50
too (and the Triton:
http://www.karma-lab.com/ ) but it needs Windows
or a Mac; and the price of a new M50-61 and KARMA is a good $400 less
than the M3-M.
In fact, perhaps the cheapest way to get hold of KARMA technology is
KARMA for Triton and a secondhand Triton LE - shouldn't be much more
than $500 overall. (Might be worth asking whether it would work with
the PA-50 too, but I wouldn't necessarily hold out much hope.)
