Looking at it yesterday on the scope, a string of dits was about 40% duty
cycle, or even as low as 33%, depending on how you score the rise and fall
time. I did the test at 22 wpm and 44 wpm, and results were the same. Both
speeds were corrected by using keying compensation = 6.

First I’ve heard about this, and I’ve used K3’s since they were introduced.
Can you provide some details on why and how much the keying is lightened?

I found out today that there is another way to change weight under N1MM -
config/ports/other tab/weight.
I wonder how many people do not realize that K3's lighten CW keying
applied through the KEY jack, and that their dits are wimpy? I operated
that way for 12 years, until W3LPL told me about it yesterday. The K3
monitor sounds normal.
Life is too short for wimpy dits!

In N1MM+
Go to Configurer
Select WINKEY tab
Change value in the Keying Compensation window to 6
