Global P0: Basic Setup

Here, you can make master tune settings, turn all effects on/
off, and make on/off settings for the arpeggiator and drum
track.
0–1a: Basic
Master Tune
[–50cent (427.47Hz)...+50cent (452.89Hz)]
This adjusts the overall tuning of the entire M50 in one-cent
units (semitone = 100 cents), over a range of ±50 cents. With
a setting of 0, the frequency of A4 will be 440 Hz.
The A4 pitch given here is when Equal Temperament is
selected as the scale. If a different scale is selected, A4
may not be 440 Hz.
Key Transpose
This adjusts the pitch in semitone steps over a ±1 octave
range.
This setting is applied at the location (PreMIDI or PostMIDI)
specified by Convert Position (Global 1–1a).

61 keys
73 keys
88 keys
Note: If Convert Position is set to PreMIDI, the note
numbers transmitted from the M50 will be affected by Key
Transpose setting.
Master Tune can be controlled by the MIDI universal
System Exclusive message Master Fine Tuning (F0, 7F,
nn, 04, 03, vv, mm, F7: nn=MIDI channel, vv/mm=
value).
Key Transpose can be controlled by the MIDI universal
System Exclusive message Master Coarse Tuning (F0,
7F, nn, 04, 04, vv, mm, F7: nn=MIDI channel, vv/
mm=value).
These messages are received on the global MIDI
channel specified by MIDI Channel (Global 1–1a).
In Program, Combination, and Sequencer modes, MIDI
RPN messages can be received to control the tuning
and transposition of the program or timbre
(Combination mode) or track (Sequencer mode).
Incoming MIDI RPN Fine Tune messages will make
relative adjustments to the tuning specified by the
Master Tune setting.

MIDI RPN Coarse Tune messages will make relative
adjustments to the pitch specified by the Key
Transpose setting. In Program mode, these messages
will be received on the global MIDI channel specified
0–1
by MIDI Channel (Global 1–1a), and in other modes
Menu
they will be received on the MIDI channel specified for
each timbre or track. (Transpose, Detune, Combi 3–
5(6)c, Seq 3–5(6)c)
Velocity Curve
This specifies the way in which the volume and/or tone will
change in response to variations in keyboard playing
0–1c
dynamics (velocity).
The curves you can select will depend on the Convert
Position (Global 1–1a) setting. If the setting is PreMIDI, the
curve is applied immediately after the keyboard. If the
setting is PostMIDI, the curve is applied immediately before
the sound generator.
In the case of PreMIDI, your keyboard playing dynamics are
modified as shown by transmission curves 1–9 (lower left
diagram), and reception is fixed at curve 4 linear (diagram at
lower right).
In the case of PostMIDI, your keyboard playing dynamics
are transmitted according to transmission curve 4 linear
(lower left diagram), and will be interpreted according to
reception curve 1–9 (lower right diagram).
If you're using the M3 as a MIDI sound module, and want to
adjust the overall brightness of the sound, set Convert
Position (Global 1–1a) to PostMIDI and select the
appropriate velocity curve.

1, 2, 3: Strongly played notes will be affected.
4 (Normal): The normal curve
5, 6: Produces an effect even if you do not play very strongly.
7: This curve produces a relatively consistent effect for softly
played notes.
8: This curve produces an even more consistent effect.
Each curve has its own characteristics, so you should select
the curve that best suits your own playing style and the
results you want to obtain.
9: Compared with the standard curve #4, this curve softens
the response of gently-played notes. This allows velocity
control with broader dynamics for sounds such as acoustic
piano. This setting is particularly recommended for the
M50-88.
