temporarily send the drum kit IFX1 to IFX3, IFX2 to IFX4,
and IFX3 to IFX5. Executing with these settings will
temporarily change the effects to which the drum kit is
being sent (see the following diagram).
Sampling mode
The external input sounds from the AUDIO INPUT 1, 2, and
S/P DIF IN jacks can be processed by the insert effects,
master effects, or total effect then sampled. You can also
apply insert effects to the samples assigned to a
multisample, and resample the result.
The Bus Select (Sampling 0–2a) settings in the P0:
Recording– Audio In/Setup page specify the buses to which
the external inputs will be sent. You can choose from L/R,
IFX1–5, 1–4, 1/2, 3/4, or Off. If you want to apply an insert
effect while sampling, choose IFX1–5.
Send1 (to MFX1) and Send2 (to MFX2) are available if Bus
Select is L/R or Off. If you selected IFX1–5, use Send1 and
Send2 to make settings in the P8– Insert FX Setup page after
the sound has passed through the insert effect.
In the example shown in the next diagram, the signal from
AUDIO INPUT 1 and 2 is being sent to IFX1. Use the P8: IFX
page to select an insert effect, and edit its parameters.
The following diagram shows an example of bus settings in
which the samples assigned to a multisample are resampled
with IFX1 applied. Set Bus(IFX/Output) Select (Sampling 8–
1b) to IFX1.
Insert Effects (IFX1...IFX5) Routing
When sampling ends, L/R will automatically be
selected as the Bus Select setting. Please be aware of
this if you continue sampling.
For more details on any of these sampling methods, see
"Sampling (Open Sampling System)" on page 107 of the
Operation Guide.
Audio Input, S/P DIF IN, FireWire
In Program, Combination, Sequencer, and Media modes,
external audio sources from the AUDIO INPUT 1, 2 and S/
P DIF IN jacks can be processed by insert effects, master
effects, and total effect just as they can in Sampling mode.
You can sample while applying the M3's effects to the
external audio sources from these jacks, or use the M3 as a 4-
in (AUDIO INPUT 1, 2, S/P DIF IN L, R) 6-out effect
processor. You can also use an external mic input to control a
vocoder effect (156: Vocoder) applied to internal sounds. For
examples of this, see page 424 and page 515.
In each mode, use "Audio Input" (P0– Sampling/Audio In
page) to make settings for external input from the AUDIO
INPUT 1, 2, and S/P DIF IN jacks. Alternatively, you can
check Use Global Settings and use the Global mode
"Audio" settings.
For details on Bus Select, Send1 (to MFX1), and Send2 (to
MFX2), refer to the section on Sampling mode, above.
In Media mode, effects will use the settings of the mode
in which you previously were.
FireWire
If the EXB-FW FireWire Interface (sold separately) is
installed, you can transfer audio data and MIDI data
between the M3's FireWire connector and your computer's
FireWire (IEEE 1394) connector from within a host
application in which the included M3 Plug-In Editor is
running. Effects can be applied to this incoming audio in the
same way as to the audio from the AUDIO INPUT 1, 2, and
S/P DIF IN connectors. For details, please see "M3 Editor/
Plug-In Editor Manual" (PDF).
