The M3 provides a large number of GEs that can be
used for a variety of instruments, performance
techniques, and musical styles.
GE RTP – Real Time Parameters
A GE consists of over two hundred internal
parameters.
In each GE, up to 32 of these internal parameters are
pre-selected as the most suitable parameters for use in
controlling the phrase or pattern. These parameters are
called the “GE realtime parameters.”
You can control the phrase or pattern by editing these
parameters, or by assigning them to the KARMA
sliders or KARMA switches and operating these
during your performance.
