Introduction to the M3

Basic operations

After you've turned on the M3, here's how to perform
basic operations such as selecting modes and pages.
1. Selecting modes
• In order to use a particular function on the M3, you
must first select the appropriate mode.
Press one of the front panel mode switches to enter the
corresponding mode.
COMBI switch:
PROG switch:
SEQ switch:
SAMPLING switch: Sampling mode
GLOBAL switch:
MEDIA switch:
2. Selecting pages and tabs
Each mode has a large number of parameters, which
are grouped into pages. These are further subdivided
by tabs into up to eight tab pages.
• Make sure that the desired mode is selected.
For details on selecting a mode, see "1. Selecting
modes," above.
In this explanation we'll use Combination mode as
an example.
Press the COMBI switch.
Note: The Combi P0: Play page will appear. (This is
shown in the upper left of the display.)
In Combination, Program, or Sequencer modes, you
will normally perform in this P0: Play page. You can
also make simple adjustments (edits) to the sound
while you're in this page. To make more detailed
adjustments, use page 1 (Combi P1: DT/XY/Ctrls, etc.)
and following.
Selecting a page
Using Page Select to move
In Combination, Program, Global, and Sequencer
modes, you can press the PAGE SELECT switch to
view a list of the pages that make up that mode.
1. Press the PAGE SELECT switch.
The page select menu will appear.

The page in which you were when you pressed the
PAGE SELECT switch will be highlighted as an
indication.
2. Press the page that you want to view.
As an example here, try selecting "P4 Zone/Delay."
The P4: Zone/Delay– Key Z T01–08 page will appear.
Note: The page that appears will be the page of the tab
you selected most recently.
Using the PAGE SELECT switch + numeric keys 0–
9 switches to move
• Hold down the PAGE SELECT switch and use
numeric keys 0–9 to specify the page number you
want to view.
The specified page number will appear. The page
that appears will be the page of the tab you selected
most recently.
Note: In pages consisting of multiple pages such as P5–
1, P5–2, P7–1 – P7–4, P8–1, and P8–2, the first page (P5–
1, P7–1, or P8–1) will be selected.
Using the EXIT switch to move to page 0
• You can press the EXIT switch to return to page 0
from any page.
Selecting tabs
• You can access tabbed pages by pressing the tabs
shown in the bottom line of the display.
This example shows the Program T01–08 page
through Mixer T01–08 page of Combi P0: Play.
