Settings for the entire M50

How Global mode is
structured
In Global mode, you can make settings that apply to
the entire M50, such as master tuning, key transpose,
effect global switch, and global MIDI channel.
In addition, you can create user drum kits, user
arpeggio patterns, and scales, make settings for the
damper pedal and assignable foot switches/pedals,
and specify category names for programs and
combinations.
For details on each mode and how to access each page,
please see "Basic operations" on page 16.
The edits you perform in Global mode will not be
preserved after the power is turned off unless you
first save your settings. Three types of data are
handled in Global mode: user drum kit settings
(Global P5), user arpeggio patterns (Global P6),
and all other global settings (Global P0–4). Each of
these has a respective memory area to store its
data. This data can also be saved to various types
of SD card in Media mode.
For details, please see "Writing Global settings,
User Drum Kits and User Arpeggio Patterns" on
page 89, "Saving to media (Media–Save)" on
page 91.
The Compare function that lets you return to the
state prior to your editing (or undo edits) is not
available in Global mode.
