Cue List - Korg m3 Operation Manual

Creating songs (Sequencer mode)
MIDI tracks 1–16 each consist of "track parameters"
that specify the starting state of the track, and
"playback data." The master track consists of tempo
and time signature data.

Setup parameters/Musical data
Time signature*, Tempo*
* When you change the setting during realtime-
recording, this will be recorded as musical data.
This allows the starting settings to be modified
during the playback.
** Musical data (MIDI RPN data) can be used to
change the starting settings during playback.
Other parameters: You can adjust parameters during
realtime recording and record these changes as MIDI
System Exclusive messages. This means that the
settings at the start of playback can change as the song
progresses.
For details on Control Change messages and RPN,
please see "Control change" on page 640, and "Using
RPN (Registered Parameter Numbers)" on page 644 of
the Parameter Guide.
For details on MIDI System Exclusive messages, please
see "About system exclusive messages" on page 645 of
the Parameter Guide.
Song recording and editing
Song recording is performed on tracks.
You can record MIDI tracks in either of two ways;
realtime recording or step recording. For realtime
recording you can choose one of six recording modes.
You can edit MIDI tracks by using Event Edit
operations to modify the recorded data or insert new
data, and by using Track Edit operations such as
Create Control Data, which inserts pitch bend,
aftertouch, or control change data.

Patterns
There are two types of patterns: preset patterns and
user patterns.
Preset patterns: Patterns suitable for drum tracks are
preset in internal memory, and can be selected for any
song.
User patterns: Each song can have up to 100 patterns.
When using a pattern in a different song, use the
Utility menu commands Copy Pattern or Copy From
Song etc. to copy the pattern. The pattern length can be
specified in units of a measure.
Each pattern consists of musical data for one track. It is
not possible to create patterns that contain multiple
tracks.
You can use these patterns by placing them in a MIDI
track (Put to Track menu command) or by copying
them (Copy to Track menu command). You can also
use patterns with the RPPR function of a song.
How Sequencer patterns are related to Drum
Track patterns
The patterns of the Drum Track function you use with
a Program or Combination are related to Sequencer
mode patterns as follows.
Preset patterns are a common library that can also be
used by the Drum Track function.
User patterns cannot be directly used by the Drum
Track function, but they can be converted to user Drum
Track patterns and used with a Program or
Combination. If you convert a user pattern, it will be
stored in internal memory, and this data will not
disappear even when you turn off the power.

Cue List

The cue list allows you to playback multiple songs in
succession. The M3 lets you create twenty cue lists.
Each cue list lets you connect up to 99 songs and
specify the number of times that each song will repeat.
The menu command Convert to Song lets you convert
the songs in a cue list into a single song.
For example you can use a cue list to create the
backing, convert the cue list to a song, and then add
solo phrases on unused tracks.
