Audio input settings

Audio input settings used in common
for Program, Combination, and
Sequencer modes
In the Global P0: Basic Setup– Audio page you can
make settings that will apply in modes other than
Sampling mode; you can select the input source for
analog/digital audio signals, and adjust the input
level, bus, and master effect send levels.
To use these settings, check the Use Global Setting
parameter in each mode.

MIDI Basic/Routing

MIDI-related settings for the entire
M3
In the Global P1: MIDI– MIDI Basic page and the MIDI
Routing page, you can make settings for the global
MIDI channel, the local on/off setting, MIDI clock,
MIDI routing, and MIDI filtering.
You can also use a menu command in this page to
transmit MIDI exclusive data dumps. (See PG

External control

The M3's external control capability lets you use the
control surface switches 1–8, sliders 1–8, and pads 1–8
to control external MIDI devices. Each of these
controllers can transmit a specified MIDI control
change on the specified MIDI channel.
There are 128 sets of control assignments.
With the factory settings, the control sets contain
preloaded data. For example, there are setups that let
you control soft synthesizers such as the KORG Legacy
Collection, and other setups that let you control the
level and pan of a DAW (Digital Audio Workstation)
program in realtime.
Note: See the "M3 External Setups" (PDF) for details on
the control change (CC#) settings assigned by the
preloaded external control templates and the
application settings to which they correspond.
Using external controls
Note: Before you continue, adjust your settings so that
the M3 can send MIDI data to your computer
application or MIDI device.
1. Press a MODE PROG switch (the LED will light).
We've selected Program mode as an example here, but
you are free to select Combination or Sequencer mode
if you wish.
2. Press the CONTROL ASSIGN EXTERNAL switch
(the LED will light).
3. Access the Prog P0: Play– Control Surface page.
This page shows and reflects the data of the control
surface. It's a convenient place for you to adjust the
sound, since you can view the parameter assignments
and see the precise values.
Note: Control via the control surface is active regardless
of the page shown in the display.
