Loop Playback - Korg m3 Operation Manual

5. To switch Solo off, press Solo On/Off once again.
Press Solo On/Off for both MIDI tracks 1 and 2.
The display will change, and the playback of tracks 1
and 2 will be muted. If the Solo function is turned off
for all tracks, playback will be according to the Play/
Rec/Mute settings.
Exclusive Solo
Normally, the Solo function operates in "Exclusive
Solo off" mode, where you can solo more than one
track at a time (as in the example above). In contrast,
"Exclusive Solo on" mode allows only one track/
channel to be soloed at a time, making it easy to switch
between soloed tracks.
Use the Exclusive Solo menu command to specify how
the Solo function will operate.
Exclusive Solo off: You will be able to solo more than
one track at a time. The status of a track will change
each time you press its Solo On/Off button.
Exclusive Solo on: When you press a Solo On/Off
button, only that track will be soloed.
The SOLO setting is not stored when you save the
song.
Tip: You can turn Exclusive Solo on/off by holding
down the ENTER switch and pressing numeric key 2.
LOCATE settings
You can press the LOCATE switch to move to the
registered location. Initially, this will move to
001:01.000.
To change the registered location, use the Set Location
menu command. Alternatively, you can register a
location during playback by holding down the ENTER
switch and pressing the LOCATE switch.
When you select a song, the LOCATE setting is
automatically initialized to 001:01.000.
For details, please see "Set Location (Set Location for
Locate Key)" on page 281 of the Parameter Guide.

Loop playback

When recording or playing back a song, you can
individually loop the MIDI tracks that are playing.
In the P0–1: Play/REC– Play Loop T01–08 or T09–16
page, check Track Play Loop for the MIDI tracks you
want to loop, and use Loop Start Measure and Loop
End Measure to specify the starting and ending
measure of the region that will play back as a loop.
If you check Play Intro, the measures preceding the
loop will be played back as an introduction before the
loop begins.

If you play back from the first measure with the

region of measures will repeat as follows.

Track 1 1 2 3 4 5
Track 2 9 10 9 10 9 10 9 10 9 10 9 10 9
If Play Intro is unchecked, the specified region of
measures will repeat as follows.

Track 1 5 6 7 8 5
Track 2 9 10 9 10 9 10 9 10 9 10 9 10 9
Global mode "SEQ Mode" setting
In SEQ mode you will normally use the internal
sequencer as the master that controls the internal
sound generator and your external sound modules.
However, you can also use SEQ Mode as a multi-
timbral sound module that simultaneously plays
multiple tracks of performance data from your external
MIDI sequencer. (Normally you'll use Combination
mode if you want to use the M3 as a master keyboard.)
So that you can change settings as appropriate for
these two uses, the M3 provides a SEQ Mode Track
MIDI Out parameter which is located in the Global P1:
MIDI– MIDI Basic page.
Master is the setting to choose if you're using the M3's
internal sequencer to control an external sound
module, or if you're using the M3 in Sequencer mode
as a master keyboard. In this case when you switch
songs on the M3, tracks whose Status is set to EXT or
BTH will transmit program changes and other MIDI
messages to set up your external MIDI sound module.
External-Sequencer is the setting to choose if you're
using the M3 as a multi-timbral sound module
controlled by an external sequencer. When you switch
songs on the M3, program changes and other MIDI
messages will not be transmitted (from tracks whose
Status is set to EXT or BTH). This means that echo-
back from your external MIDI sequencer will not
change the program, pan, or volume settings of M3
tracks that are receiving the same MIDI channels.
