PAD1–8
This lets you trigger any of the Pads from the foot switch.
When playing notes, the footswitch triggers the pad as if it
had been hit at maximum velocity.
Foot Pedal Assignments
You can connect a pedal (such as the optional Korg XVP-10
or EXP-2) to the rear-panel ASSIGNABLE PEDAL input,
and then use it to control a wide variety of functions, as
described below.
This setting is made for the entire M3, on the Global P2:
Controllers– Foot Controllers page.
A note on MIDI CCs
Some of the assignments include MIDI CCs, which are
transmitted whenever the slider is moved. Note that the
MIDI CCs can still be received even if they are not assigned
to a physical controller.
If you select RT Slider 1–8, the MIDI control change message
specified by the Realtime Control Slider Assign settings in
each mode will be transmitted by each on/off operation.
(Off: 0, On: 127)
List of Foot Pedal assignments
Off
This setting disables the pedal.
Master Volume
This controls the overall volume, and transmits the
Universal System Exclusive Master Volume message [F0H,
7FH, nn, 04, 01, vv, mm, F7H]. You can use this to adjust the
volumes of all Tracks or Timbres at the same time, while
preserving their relative balance.
Foot Pedal (CC#04)
You can use this general-purpose controller as an AMS or
Dmod source. Note that you’ll also need to assign Foot
Pedal (CC#04) to control the desired parameter within the
Program or Effect.
Portamento Time (CC#05)
Controls the speed at which portamento will change the
pitch.
Volume (CC#07)
Control the volume of a Program, Combination, or of a
MIDI track in Sequencer modes.
Post IFX Pan (CC#08)
Control the pan after passing through the Insert Effect.
Pan (CC#10)
Control the pan of a Program, of a timbre in a Combination,
or of a MIDI track in Sequencer modes.
Expression (CC#11)
Expression is a secondary volume control, which you can
use to scale level without affecting the main volume settings
or CC#7 values. For more information, please see
“Expression (CC#11)” on page 598.
FX Control 1 & 2 (CC#s12 & 13)
These assignments are intended for Effect Dynamic
Modulation (Dmod). Note that you’ll also need to assign FX
Ctrl1 or 2 to control the desired parameter within the Effect.
MFX Send 1 & 2 (CC#s 93 & 91)
These control the send levels to Master Effects 1 and 2,
respectively.
CC#s 93 and 91 actually control send levels in two different
places: the sends directly from the Program OSC or
RADIAS, and the send levels of the last Insert Effect in the
chain which matches the CC’s MIDI channel.
JS+Y (CC#01)
This duplicates the function of JS+Y. Whatever JS+Y is
assigned to control, the pedal will control as well.
JS–Y (CC#02)
This duplicates the function of JS–Y. Whatever JS–Y is
assigned to control, the pedal will control as well.
Ribbon (CC#16)
This duplicates the function of the ribbon controller.
Whatever the ribbon is assigned to control, the pedal will
control as well.
Value Slider (CC#18)
Pedal operation will control the effect of the VALUE slider.
RT Slider 1–8
This duplicates the function of the selected Realtime Control
Slider. Whatever the slider is assigned to control, the pedal
will control as well.
KARMA Slider 1–8
This duplicates the function of the selected KARMA slider.
Whatever the slider is assigned to control, the pedal will
control as well.
