Performing With Karma And The Drum Track - Korg m3 Operation Manual

Playing and editing Programs
6. If you want to preserve this setting even when the
power is turned off, be sure to Write (see
page 141).
7. Press the PROG switch to enter Prog P0: Play, and
press the foot switch to change the Program.
Note: This setting applies to selecting Combinations, as
well.
Assigning the footswitch to Value Inc/Dec
This lets you use the Assignable Foot Switch to
duplicate the functions of the front-panel Inc q or Dec
u switches.
This method is convenient if you want to open the
Bank/Program Select menu or Category/Program
Select menu and switch programs while viewing the
program or combination menu.
With this setting, the Program Up/Down assign
method will not function while the menu is open.
(Program changes will be ignored while the menu is
open.) Make the following settings.
To set this up:
1. Follow steps 1–4 under "Assigning the footswitch
to Program Up/Down," above.
2. At the top of the page, set the Foot Switch Assign
parameter to Value Inc (or Value Dec).
3. Now, the foot switch will act just like pressing the
front-panel Inc q or Dec u switches.
Note: The footswitch will work like this for the entire
M3–not just when the Program or Combination Select
window is open.
Using MIDI Program Change
You can send MIDI Program Change messages to M3
from external MIDI devices, such as DAW software or
other MIDI controllers. In conjunction with MIDI Bank
Select, you can use these to select any Program from all
14 Banks.
If you use the included "M3 Plug-In Editor" as a plug-
in inside your DAW software, you'll be able to easily
select M3 programs or combinations from a list within
your DAW. For details, refer to the included "M3
Editor/Plug-In Editor Manual" (PDF).
Transmit/receive MIDI channel settings
All transmission and reception of MIDI data in
Program mode is performed on the Global MIDI
Channel. You can set this in Global mode, on the
Global P1: MIDI– MIDI Basic page. (See "MIDI-related
settings for the entire M3" on page 131)
Bank select settings
You can specify the program and combination sound
mapping for Bank Select control change messages
(CC#0: upper byte, CC#32: lower byte). Make these
settings in Bank Map (Global P0: Basic Setup– System
Preference page). (See PG page 374)

MIDI filter settings
You can use MIDI filters to specify whether program
changes and bank select messages will be transmitted
and/or received. Make these settings in the Global P1:
MIDI– MIDI Routing page. (See page 131, and PG
page 383)
Performing with KARMA and
the Drum Track
Based on your keyboard playing or on the note data
received from MIDI IN, the KARMA function
automatically generates a diverse variety of phrases or
patterns, such as guitar or keyboard backing riffs, bass
phrases, or drum patterns. You can use the KARMA
sliders and the KARMA switches to freely modify
these phrases or patterns.
For more about the KARMA function, please see
page 163.
The Drum Track function plays a rich variety of drum
patterns using the M3's high-quality drum programs.
You can play programs along with the drum patterns.
Of course, phrases generated by KARMA can be
synchronized with Drum Track patterns and used
together with them.
For more about the Drum Track function, please see
page 185.
