Playing and editing Programs

About the M50's Programs
Programs are the basic sounds of the M50.
You can play them by themselves, layer them together
in Combinations, or play a different Program on each
of the 16 MIDI tracks, either from the internal
sequencer or from external computer-based
sequencers.
This section of the manual takes a quick look at playing
Programs, including tours of the front-panel
controllers and basic editing techniques.
