4. Choose “Setup (Setup Select)”, and select the
external control set that you want to use.
The set list is shown in the lower portion of the page,
showing the functions that are currently assigned to
the switches and sliders.
5. When you operate the control surface switches 1–
8, sliders 1–8, and pads 1–8, MIDI control change
(CC#) messages will be transmitted on the
assigned MIDI channel.
Note: The M3’s keyboard and other controllers will
operate as usual.
6. Use “Program Select” to switch programs.
7. Press the CONTROL ASSIGN EXTERNAL switch
and operate the various controllers.
You can use external control without losing the settings
you’ve made.
Changing programs in Program mode or switching to
Combination mode etc. will not affect the control set.
This means you can select another sound on the M3
without changing the way you’re controlling an
external MIDI device, or conversely you can change
the way you’re controlling an external MIDI device
without switching sounds on the M3.
External control setups
You will use Global mode to create external control
setups.
The content that you edit in Global mode is
preserved until you turn off the power, but will be
lost when the power is turned off. To save your

).

page. Here you can make settings for pads 1–8.

that each slider or switch will transmit.
Fixed Velocity specifies the velocity value that will be
used if the front panel PAD MODE switch is set to

always be transmitted regardless of how strongly you
strike the pads).
Assigning a name
It’s a good idea to name any external control setups
that you create so that you can remember its purpose.

name. For more details, please see “Editing names” on
