About the M3’s combinations
Combinations, let you split and layer up to 16
Programs at once.
A Combination is made up of 16 Timbres. Each Timbre
has a Program, along with parameters for key and
velocity zones, mixer settings, MIDI channel and
controller filtering, and so on.
As with Programs, each Combination has five insert
effects, two master effects, and one total effect, for
shaping and transforming the sounds of the individual
Timbres.
This section of the manual takes a quick look at playing
Combinations, including tours of the front-panel
controllers and basic editing techniques.
