Sampling only an external
guitar sound while listening to
phrases generated by the
KARMA function
Here we’ll explain how to sample just an external
audio source while you listen to phrases generated by
the M3’s KARMA function in Program mode.
Sampling can be performed in a similar way in
Combination and Sequencer modes as well as in
Program mode.
1. Press the MODE PROG switch to enter Program
mode, and select the program that you want to use
for monitoring.
2. Turn the KARMA function on (KARMA ON/OFF
switch lit), play the keyboard, and verify that the
drum phrase plays.
Turn LATCH on. Press the LATCH switch to make it
light.
Also adjust the tempo “ ” as desired.
3. Press the KARMA ON/OFF switch to turn off the
KARMA function.
4. Connect your guitar to the rear panel AUDIO
INPUT 1 jack.
Press the AUDIO INPUT MIC/LINE switch select the
LINE position, and set the LEVEL knob at about the
center.
If you connect a guitar with passive pickups (i.e., a
guitar that does not contain a preamp), you will be
unable to sample it at the correct level because of
the impedance mismatch. Such guitars should be
routed through a preamp or an effect unit.
5. Access the P0: Play– Sampling/Audio In page.
6. If “Use Global Setting” is checked, executing the
menu command “Auto Sampling Setup” will edit
the Input settings of Global mode. If this is not
checked, the Input settings of each program will
be edited. Since this is easy to verify here, uncheck
this item.
7. Select the menu command “Auto Sampling
Setup” to access the dialog box.
8. Make the following settings.
REC Audio Input : On
Make settings for sampling an external audio source
while you monitor the performance of a program.

If you’re using analog input, make settings so that the
sound from Input 1 will be sampled to L-MONO.
Save to : RAM
The resampled data will be written to RAM memory.
Convert to Program : On
Program : as desired
After resampling, the data will automatically be
