Bypassing the effects
If the Effect Global SW “IFX 1–5 Off,” “MFX1&2 Off,”
and “TFX Off” items are checked, the insert effects,
master effect, will respectively be bypassed.
Insert effects, master effects, and total effect can be
bypassed globally. This applies to the entire M3
regardless of the mode. For example, if you’ve
connected the M3’s outputs to an external mixer and
are using an external effect processor to apply reverb
or chorus to the sound, you can turn off the M3’s
master effects and total effect.
Linking KARMA to Programs and
Combinations
You can specify whether the KARMA settings written
to a Program or Combination will also be selected
when you select that program or combination, or
whether the KARMA settings will not change when
you switch the Program or Combination.
When the M3 is shipped from the factory, the former
setting is selected. You can use the latter setting if you
want to use the same KARMA settings to generate
phrases and patterns while you select and try out
different Programs and Combinations.
If the Load KARMA Settings When Changing
Program
or Combination boxes are selected, selecting
a Program or Combination respectively will also select
the KARMA settings that are written in that Program
or Combination.
If you check All KARMA/DT Off, all KARMA
functionality and the Drum Track function will be off.
Even if the KARMA ON/OFF switch is on, the
KARMA function will not operate.
Stopping the Drum Track function
If All KARMA/DT Off is checked, all KARMA
functionality and the Drum Track function will be
turned off. Even if the DRUM TRACK ON/OFF switch
is on, the Drum Track function will not operate.
System preference
In the Global P0: Basic Setup– System Preference page
you can make the following settings.
Settings when connecting multiple
digital audio devices
If you’re connecting multiple digital audio devices via
S/P DIF, set one device as the master and the
remaining devices as slaves.
If you want the M3 to be the master, set System Clock
to Internal. If you want the M3 to be a slave, set System
Clock
to S/P DIF.
Recalling the last-selected mode and
page at power-on
The state of M3 when the power is turned on will
depend on the setting of Power On Mode.
If Power On Mode is set to Reset (factory setting), M3
will automatically select the Combination mode P0:
Play.
If Power On Mode is set to Memorize, M3 will power
on using the same mode and page that were selected
when the power was turned off.
Sounding a beep when you press the
display
If Beep Enable is selected, a beep will sound when you
press an object in the display. Uncheck this item if you
don’t want a beep to sound.
Protecting the memory
If one or more of the Memory Protect check boxes are
checked, operations such as writing, loading, or song
recording will be prohibited for the corresponding
type of memory.
