PROG P0: Play
This is the main Program mode page for EDS Programs.
Among other things, you can:
Select Programs
Make basic edits to KARMA

Check the control surface content, and control it.
All MIDI data in Prog P0: Play is transmitted and
received on the global MIDI channel MIDI Channel

Tip: Auto Song Setup
The Auto Song Setup feature copies the current Program or
Combination into a Song, and then puts the M3 in record-
ready mode.
If inspiration for a phrase or song strikes you while you’re
playing, you can use this function to start recording
immediately. For more information, please see “Tip: Auto
Song Setup” on page 192.

Bank (Bank Select)
[INT–A...F, GM, g(1)...g(9), g(d), USER–A...G]
This is the Bank containing the current Program.
The GM bank contains a full set of General MIDI 2
Programs, as well as variation sub-banks g(1)–g(9) (GM2
variation programs), and bank g(d) (drums).
Each time you press the BANK SELECT I–G switch, you’ll
step through these variation banks in the following order:
Gg(1)g(2)…g(8)g(9)G…
Rewritable banks INT–A–INT–E and USER–A–G each
contain 128 programs (a total of 1,536). Of the non-
rewritable banks, G contains GM2 capital programs,
g(1)–g(9) contain GM2 variation programs, and g(d)
contain GM2 drum programs.
Bank INT–F can be selected if the optional EXB-RADIAS
is installed. If this is installed, 128 special programs for
the EXB-RADIAS will be available.
Bank INT–E will be selected as the default destination
for writing resampled multisamples as programs when
you use the menu command Auto Sampling Setup.
The GM basic sounds will be selected for banks for
which there is no variation sound. (An “*” is displayed
at the beginning of the program name.)
If the optional EXB-RADIAS is installed, the bank type
of the USER-A–G banks can be switched between EDS
and RADIAS. You won’t be able to save programs in a
bank that is set to the wrong bank type. Use the Global
mode menu command Set Prog User-Bank Type to
make this setting. For more information, please see “Set
Prog User-Bank Type” on page 382.
For details on the factory Programs, please see the “Voice
Name List” (PDF).
