Here you can make MIDI-related settings that affect the
entire M3.
Note: To transmit MIDI exclusive dump data, you'll use the
menu commands of this P1: MIDI page.

Basic:
MIDI Channel (Global MIDI Channel)
Sets the global MIDI channel.
The global MIDI channel is used in the following cases.
• When transmitting and receiving performance data in
Program mode (Prog P0: Play) and Sampling mode.
• When selecting combinations via MIDI in Combination
mode (Combi P0: Play).
• When triggering the drum track (with Trigger Mode set
to Wait KBD Trig) in Program or Combination mode.
• When controlling timbres or effects that have been set to
Gch in various modes
• When transmitting and receiving system exclusive
messages
MIDI received
In Program mode (P0: Play) and Sampling mode, MIDI data
is received on the global MIDI channel, but in Combination
mode (P0: Play) or Sequencer mode, MIDI data is received
on the MIDI channel specified for each timbre or track.
In Combination mode (P0: Play), program changes received
on the global MIDI channel will switch the combination (1–
2b: MIDI Filter).
Use the global MIDI channel to switch IFX 1–5 (CC#92),
MFX1&2 (CC#94) and TFX (CC#95) on/off.
To control the pan following IFX, sends 1/2, MFX 1/2 and
TFX, use the global MIDI channel when in the Program or
Sampling mode; while in the Combination, or Sequencer
modes, use the channel specified separately by Ctrl Ch for
IFX1–5, MFX1&2, and TFX. By setting Ctrl Ch to Gch, you
can control these parameters from the global MIDI channel.
MIDI output when playing M3
In Program mode and Sampling mode, this data will be
transmitted on the global MIDI channel. In Combination
mode, data will be transmitted simultaneously on the global
MIDI channel and on the MIDI channels of timbres whose
Status (Combi 3–1(2)c) is set to EXT or EX2.
In Sequencer mode, musical data will be transmitted on the
channel specified for the currently selected track (Seq 3–
1(2)c) (whose Status is BTH, EXT, or EX2).
1–1
External mode
Menu
In each mode when the control surface CONTROL ASSIGN
EXTERNAL switch is on, you can use the sliders 1–8, and
switches 1–8 to control a connected computer or MIDI
device.
The MIDI CC# (control change) messages are transmitted on
the MIDI channel specified in the Global P1: MIDI– External
Mode1, External Mode2 pages.
Note Receive (Note Receive Filter) [All, Even, Odd]
This setting specifies whether even-numbered, odd-
numbered, or all note numbers will be sounded when note
data is received from the M3's keyboard or from an external
MIDI device. By connecting the M3 to another M3 and
setting one instrument to Even and the other to Odd, you
can effectively double the polyphony by dividing the notes
between the two instruments.
All: All note numbers will be received. Normally you will
leave this set to All.
Even: Even-numbered notes (C, D, E, F#, G#, A#) will sound.
Odd: Odd-numbered notes (C#, D#, F, G, A, B) will sound.
This setting has no effect on the MIDI data that is
[1...16]
received.

Local Control On
Local Control On (checked): The M3's pads and sliders, and
the keyboard, joystick, SW1, and SW2 will control the M3's
sound generator. Leave this setting checked if you're
playing the M3 by itself.
Local Control Off (unchecked): The M3's pads and sliders,
and the keyboard, joystick, SW1, and SW2 will be
disconnected from the M3's sound generator.
This means that operating the M3 (playing its pad, keyboard
and using the joystick, or playing back the sequencer) will
not sound its internal tone generator.
Turn Local Control Off if loop-back from an external
sequencer causes duplicate notes.
