0–5: KARMA GE
Here you can make KARMA function settings for the
Combination mode.
In Combination mode you can use four KARMA Modules
(Modules [A], [B], [C], and [D]).
For details on the available parameters and menu
commands, please see “0–5: KARMA GE” on page 125 of the
M3 parameter guide.
0–6: KARMA RTC
Here you can view the names and the stored parameter
values for the KARMA Sliders 1–8 and KARMA switches 1–
8. When you operate these, the screen will show the number
and value of the GE realtime parameters and performance
realtime parameters being controlled.
For details on the available parameters and menu
commands, please see “0–6: KARMA RTC” on page 126 of
the M3 parameter guide.
0–7: Sampling/Audio In
Here you can adjust the settings for the analog/digital audio
signal input (AUDIO INPUT, S/P DIF), and the sampling-
related settings for Combination mode.
As in Program mode, sampling in Combination mode
allows you to sample an incoming audio signal or to sample
a M3 performance. The M3 can also be used as a 4-in 6-out
effect processor.
For details on the available parameters and menu
commands, please see “0–7: Sampling/Audio In” on page
128 of the M3 parameter guide.
0–8: Control Surface
The Control Surface is the set of 8 sliders and 8 switches to
the left of the display. It looks like a mixer, but it can do
other things as well, including editing sounds, controlling
KARMA, and sending MIDI messages to external devices.
This page shows you the current values for each of the
sliders, knobs, and buttons, along with information about
what they are controlling. For instance, you can:
Adjust the volume and pan for all 16 Timbres
Control each Timbre’s EQ settings and Master Effects
Send levels.
Modulate sounds and effects using the Real Time Knobs.
Control KARMA, and select KARMA scenes, using the
sliders and switches.
Edit sounds using Tone Adjust.
Assign sliders, knobs, and switches to different Tone
Adjust parameters.
For details on the control surface, please see “0–8: Control
Surface” on page 130 of the M3 parameter guide.
In Combi mode, you can select one of five different
functions:
MIXER (Mixer T1–8, T9–16): This lets you use the control
surface to adjust the volume of timbres 1–16, and switch the
Play/Mute and Solo On/Off status. (In Combination mode
and Sequencer mode, you can use this switch to alternate
between timbres or tracks 1–8 and 9–16.)
MIXER (Mixer Input): The control surface will control the
audio input volume, Play/Mute and Solo On/Off status of
the analog inputs, S/P DIF inputs, and FireWire inputs (if
the EXB-FW is installed).
REALTIME CONTROL (RT Control): Use the sliders to
control the sound or effects. Use the switches to turn effects
on/off.
EXTERNAL lets you send MIDI messages to external MIDI
devices. Use the GLOBAL P1: MIDI– External Mode 1/2
page to specify the MIDI message that will be transmitted.
TONE ADJUST lets you edit Programs within the context
of the Combi, and without making any changes to the
original Program data. You also get hands-on access to these
edits, using the sliders, and switches.
KARMA: Use the sliders and switches to control the
KARMA function.
You can freely change back and forth between the different
functions, without losing any of your edits.
