The Function Mode includes parameters that allow you to change the behavior of the entire instrument. The following are available parameters in Function
Mode: Effect Level, Tune, MIDI Channel, Metronome, Rec Rhythm, Local Control, Hard Reset, OS/Object. Depending on the selected parameter and the current
mode, some buttons operate differently. The following is a description of the Layer Mode navigation buttons.



Press the Function button to enter Function mode.

"EFFECT LEVEL: 20" is displayed on the LED Screen.



Pressing the Select ā/ăbutton will take you through the various parameters mentioned below.

The following are the available settings:

tEFFECT LEVEL: Controls the level of the reverb effect used on a voice. [Default: 20 %, Range: 0% (no effect) to 100%@
tTUNE: Adjusts the fine-tuning the pitch of the entire instrument. (Default: 0 = A-440, Range: -100 ~ 0 ~ 100 cents)
tMIDI CHANNEL: Controls the MIDI transmit channel used for Voice Mode. (Default: CHANNEL: 1, Range: Channels 1 ~

9 and Channels 11 ~ 15. Channel 10 is reserved for rhythm playback and Channel 16 for the metronome.)

tMETRO: Activates/deactivates the metronome sound. [Default: OFF (no metronome), ON: metronome sounds while

playing or recording, REC: hear the metronome only while recording.]

tREC RHYTHM: Controls whether a rhythm pattern plays during recording. (Default: OFF, ON: record a song and have

the rhythm pattern recorded as well.)

tLOCAL: ON: This parameter is normally set to “ON”. When you play the M3 keyboard you hear the resident or “LOCAL”

voices. If you use your M3 digital piano with an external sequencer or computer, turn this setting to OFF. Turning the
setting OFF, avoids creating a MIDI loop (stuck notes or “Echoes”).

tHARD RESET?: Resets the M3 digital piano to the original factory default settings. All user changes, saved Favorites,

and user recorded songs are erased.
To reset to factory default, press the Next button once. The display now scrolls CONFIRM? Press the Next button
again to confirm and reset the M3 digital piano.
If you want to cancel the Hard Reset and remain in Function Mode, press the Prev button. Press any other button to
exit Function Mode.

tOS/OBJECT: Displays the current operating software and objects version. The display first scrolls the OS version, then

the Object version.
Visit the Kurzweil website (www.kurzweil.com) to verify that your M3 digital piano has the latest versions.
This is located under the Downloads tab for the M3 digital piano. If you wish to update, complete installation
instructions are included in the downloaded files. A standard USB cable will be required for updating.



Once you arrive at a parameter, you will use the Prev or Next buttons to chang the value of that paramete.

НPressing the Prev and Next button pair together will reset the value back to the factory default.



Pressing the Function button a second time will Exit.
