Routing - Korg M3 Parameter Manual

Routing

You can use up to five channels (IFX 1...5) for the Insert
Effects in any mode.
Program mode
Use Bus Select (Prog 8–1b) to set the destination bus of the
oscillator output.
L/R: Send the output to the L/R bus. Instead, it is sent to
AUDIO OUTPUT (MAIN) L/MONO and R after the TFX.
IFX1...5: The signal is sent to Insert Effects IFX 1–5.
1...4, 1/2, 3/4: The signal is sent to AUDIO OUTPUT
(INDIVIDUAL) 1...4 bus. For more information, please see
"Individual Outputs" on page 437.
Off: The output will not be sent to the L/R bus, IFX1–5
buses, or Individual 1–4 buses. Choose the Off setting if you
want to connect the oscillator output to a master effect in
series. Use Send1 (to MFX1) and Send2 (to MFX2) to adjust
the send level.
Use Send1 (to MFX1) and Send2 (to MFX2) (Prog 8–1d) to
specify the send level for the Master Effects. This setting is
effective if Bus Select (Prog 8–1b) is set to L/R or Off.
If Bus Select is set to IFX1–5, use Send1 and Send2 (Prog 8–
2a) to specify the send level of the post-IFX signal.
Send1 responds to CC#93, and Send2 responds to
CC#91. At this time, the actual send level uses the value
of the Send 1 and 2 settings for Oscillators 1 and 2,
multiplied by the Send 1 and 2 values received via
MIDI.
In the example shown in the next diagram, Oscillators 1 and
2 outputs being sent to IFX1.
If you are connecting the Insert Effects in series, check the
Chain box (Prog 8–2a). Use Chain to (Prog 8–2a) to specify
the destination to which the signal will be chained.
If you check the IFX1 checkbox, the output of IFX1 will be
sent to the input of the IFX you specify in "Chain to." Effects
can be chained only in ascending order of their number; for
example IFX1 can be chained to IFX2 through IFX5, and
IFX2 can be chained to IFX3 through IFX5. You can create a
chain of up to five insert effects in series, IFX1 through IFX5.
When the Insert Effects are connected in series, the values of
the Pan: CC#8, Bus, AUX Bus, Send1, and Send2
parameters for the post-IFX signal will be used.
In the example shown in the next diagram, the Chain check
box is checked, and each Chain to parameter is set to the
subsequent effect, creating a series connection of IFX1 →
IFX2 → IFX3 → IFX4 → IFX5. The post-IFX5 settings for Pan:
CC#8, Bus, AUX Bus, Send1, and Send2 will be used.

Settings for drum programs
If you have selected "Drums" for Oscillator Mode (Prog 1–
1a) of a Program, the "Use DKit Setting" box (Prog 8–1c)
becomes available. For more information, please see next
diagram.
If you check this box, Bus Select, FX Control Bus, Send1,
and Send2 (Global 5–4b) for each key of the selected
DrumKit becomes effective. For example, you can send a
snare sound to IFX1 to apply the Gate effect, a kick sound to
IFX2 to apply EQ, and other sounds to AUDIO OUTPUT
(MAIN) L/MONO and R without applying any Insert
Effects.
Tip: In most of the preloaded drum kits, the following types
of drum instrument have the same Bus Select settings.
Snares → IFX1
Kicks → IFX2
Other → IFX3
If you de-select the box, all drum instrument outputs are
sent to the bus specified by Bus Select (Prog 8–1b). You may
apply any Insert Effects to all drum instruments, regardless
of the DrumKit settings.
Combination and Sequencer modes
Use Bus Select (Combi/Seq 8–1–1(2)d) for timbres
(Combination) and tracks (Sequencer) to select an Insert
Effect to apply to the corresponding timbres and tracks. You
can route multiple timbres and tracks to a single Insert
Effect.
Tip: You can use each timbre/track's Bus Select, post-IFX
Chain to and Chain parameters (Combi/Seq 8–1–3b) to
create a variety of routings.
Example: Inserting one IFX into two or more timbres
