Mixer; Controlling The Master Effects Via Midi - Korg M3 Parameter Manual

Mixer

The input levels to the master effects are determined by the
send levels. In the P9– Routing page of each mode, you can
specify the output level and chaining (series connection)
between the two master effects.
2
1. Return1, Return2
These adjust the amount of signal that is returned from the
master effects MFX1 and MFX2 outputs to the L/R bus.
The left-side value of the Wet/Dry parameter for the MFX1
or 2 effect is the output level of that master effect. (In other
words if Wet/Dry is 25:75, the output level is 75%. It is 100%
if Wet, and 0% if Dry.) The Wet/Dry value multiplied by the
Return1 or Return2 value is sent to the L/R bus and mixed
with the P8 - Routing page Bus Select L/R or Insert FX
Setup page Bus L/R output.
For example, with MFX1 Wet/Dry set to 50:50 (50%) and
Return1 set to 64 (50%), the resultant effect level will be 25%.
The effect level is maximum (100%) when Wet/Dry is set to
"Wet" and Return1 is set to 127.
2. Chain check box
Press this box to chain MFX1 and MFX2 to each other.
In the example shown in the preceding page, the output of
MFX1:026: Stereo Chorus is added to the input of MFX2:070:
Reverb Hall.
3. Chain Direction
If you have checked the Chain box, you can set the direction
of the connection here. You can also visually confirm the
direction on the display.
4. Chain Level
This parameter determines the level of signals routed from
one MFX to the other MFX in a chain connection.
Controlling the Master Effects
via MIDI
In the same way as for insert effects, parameters of the
master effects can also be controlled in realtime via Dynamic
Modulation (Dmod) from the M3's controllers or an external
MIDI device during performance or from the sequencer.
Program and Sampling modes
3
Effect parameters are controlled on the global MIDI channel
4
(Global 1–1a).
Combination and Sequencer modes
1
In Combination and Sequencer modes, the control channel
for MFX1 and MFX2 are specified by the "Ch" (Control
Channel) setting in the MFX1 and 2 pages. You can choose
Ch01–16 or Gch.
Ch01–16: Select this option if you wish to control the
parameters for each Master Effect on different channels.
Gch: Select this option if you wish to control the parameters
on the global MIDI channel (Global 1–1a). This is the
normal setting.
Note: Since Sequencer mode lets you record and play
exclusive messages and edit tracks that include System
Exclusive events, you can use them to switch effects or
modify effect parameter values during song playback.
