Ge Mode = Real-Time Parameters - Korg M3 Parameter Manual

Width %
Specifies the width of the "hammer" when the 1: Hammer
or 2: Hammer Bend shape is selected. This controls the
amount of bend at each end of the hammer (the "back-and-
forth" bend). For example, 0% creates a triangle wave shape,
and 100% creates a square wave shape, with other values
somewhere in between. Width also controls the length of the
final bend when the Hammer Bend shape is selected. See the
Appendices: "Using Auto Bend." (☞p.582)
Has no effect when 0: Bend is selected in the "Shape"
parameter.
Drum Bend Mode
0: Generated 1: Arpeggiated
Selects one of two different bending techniques for Drum
GEs: "Generated" according to the parameters on this Group,
or "Arpeggiated" using the current Note Series settings.
Note: If the "GE Type" (☞p.529) is 2: Generated-Drum, the
"Drum Bend Mode" parameter specifies one of two different
bending effects:
0: Generated-generate shape for each note
Causes bending to be generated for each drum note the
same as with any other "GE Type". All of the parameters
described above operate as described.
1: Arpeggiated-use Note Series for stepped bends
Disables most of the other bend parameters, and instead
uses the pitches of the notes in the Note Series to generate
stepped "pitch bend sequences." The riff or arpeggio that
would normally be being produced if the "GE Type" was 0:
Generated-Riff is still being generated internally, even
though the Drum Pattern(s) are being played. This internal
riff or arpeggio can be applied to the resulting drum
rhythms as Pitch Bend values. The Index Pattern controls
the order of the pitch bend values, which are selected from
within the Note Series, just as if the "GE Type" was 0:
Generated-Riff. This results in "Wave-Sequencing" effects
and other unique sounds.
Not available when "GE Type" is not 2: Generated-Drum.
Bend Range
Sets the overall bending range of the whole GE. This also
affects pitch bend envelopes, CC-A/CC-B if generating
pitch bend, etc. Note that this must be set to 12 for the
semitone-related bend parameters described above to
actually be semitones.
Note: The EXB-RADIAS Option is not capable of responding
to KARMA Bend Range Messages outside of the range of 0
to +12 Semitones. Values outside of that range will be
limited to stay within that range.

GE Mode = Real-Time Parameters

If the "GE Type" is 3: Real-Time, the following parameters
will also be available.
Key Mode (RT)
0: Down 1: Up
Selects whether the bend will be initiated when the keys are
pressed (MIDI note-ons are received) or when the keys are
released (MIDI note-offs are received).
0: Down
The bend window specified by the "Length" (☞p.570)
setting starts immediately upon receiving a note according
to the settings of the parameters.

Bend Group GE Mode = Real-Time Parameters
1: Up
The bend window is not started until the input source note
is released. Note that for this kind of bend effect to be
audible, you must either be using a synth program with a
long release, or set the "Rel. Delay Length (RT)" parameter
below to something other than 24: Off.
Direction (RT)
0: From 1: To
Selects whether the pitch is bent from the note to the
destination (1: To) or from the destination to the note (0: From.)
This most often relates to which Bend Shape is selected.
0: From
The bend starts at a pitch offset equal to the Amount setting,
and ends at the current pitch (i.e. Joystick center). For
example, if "Amount" = –12 and "Shape" = 0: Bend, it would
be the same as starting a note with the Joystick all the way in
the pitch down position, and then moving it to the center.
1: To
The bend starts at the current pitch (i.e. Joystick center), and
ends at a pitch offset equal to the Amount setting. For
example, if "Amount" = –12 and "Shape" = 0: Bend, it
would be the same as starting a note with the Joystick in the
center position, and then moving it all the way to the pitch
down position.
For more information on practical uses for this, see the
Appendices "Using Auto Bend: Next/Previous Note
Bending: Realtime." (☞p.582)

1: 64th 10: 8th
2: 64th Dotted 11: 8th Dotted
3: 32th triplet 12: Quarter triplet
4: 32th 13: Quarter
5: 32th Dotted 14: Quarter Dotted
6: 16th triplet 15: Half triplet
7: 16th 16: Half
8: 16th Dotted 17: Half Dotted
Allows the release (note-offs) of notes to be delayed by
certain amounts (various rhythmic durations at the current
tempo). This is mainly to allow bends to be produced when
you release the keys (with "Key Mode (RT)" set to 1: Up).
When 24: Off, no delay is added.
Rel. Delay Damping (RT)
0: Off 1: On
When 1: On, starting new notes while others are still
sustaining (because of a delayed note-off from the "Rel.
Delay Length (RT)" parameter above) will shut the
sustaining notes off. This is useful for creating monophonic
style bending effects using "Key Mode (RT)" and "Rel. Delay
Length (RT)". When 0: Off, the notes are allowed to overlap.
Vel. Range Bottom (RT)
Vel. Range Top (RT)
Specifies a Velocity Range for triggering the generation of
pitch bend effects. Input notes with velocities outside of this
range will not trigger the bending. This is an easy way to
allow the velocity with which you play to control the
triggering of pitch bending effects.
