2. To write the data, press the OK button. To cancel
without writing, press the Cancel button.
The ENTER switch corresponds to the OK button, and
the EXIT switch corresponds to the Cancel button. You
can execute these operations by pressing the
appropriate switch.
Writing while X–Y MODE is on
You can’t perform operations in the display while X–Y
MODE is on. If you need to write data while X–Y
MODE is on, you must use the method described
above in “Using the (SEQUENCER) REC/WRITE
switch to write.”
• Press the SEQUENCER REC/WRITE switch to
access the dialog box, and then press the ENTER
switch.
About the Tone Adjust settings that are
saved
There are three types of Tone Adjust parameters, as
listed below. The way in which settings are written will
depend on the type.
• Absolute: This type of Tone Adjust parameter
controls a single program parameter. The Program
parameter and the Tone Adjust parameter reflect
each other exactly. If you edit one, the other
parameter will reflect the identical change. This
type of Tone Adjust parameter “absolutely”
controls the program parameter itself.
• Relative: This type of Tone Adjust parameter
controls two or more program parameters
simultaneously. For example, “Filter/Amp EG
Attack Time” controls a total of six program
parameters. The value of a relative parameter
indicates the amount of change that is applied to
the value of each program parameter it’s affecting.
When a relative parameter is at zero (i.e., when its
slider is in the center position), the program
parameters it controls will function according to
their original settings. Raising or lowering the value
of a relative parameter will indirectly raise or lower
the value of these program parameters.
• Meta: This type of Tone Adjust parameter affects
other Tone Adjust parameters. It does not affect
program parameters directly.
If you’ve adjusted an absolute or a relative Tone Adjust
parameter, the result of your adjustment will be
written as follows.
Program mode:
• The settings of relative-type Tone Adjust
parameters are automatically applied to the
program parameters when you write the program.
The Tone Adjust values will be reset to zero.
• The settings of absolute-type Tone Adjust
parameters are written “as themselves” (i.e., as the
settings of those Tone Adjust parameters).
Combination mode:
• The settings of both relative-type and absolute-type
Tone Adjust parameters are written and preserved
as the Tone Adjust settings for each timbre.
For details, please see “Tone Adjust” on page 19,
page 135 of the Parameter Guide.
About the Program and Combination edit
buffer
When you select a program in Prog P0: Play or a
combination in Combi P0: Play, the program or
combination data is called into the M3’s edit buffer.
When you then use the various Program or
Combination pages or each pages to edit the
parameters, your changes will affect the data in the
edit buffer.
If you wish to save this modified data into internal
memory, you must perform the Write operation.
When you perform the Write operation, the data in the
edit buffer is written to the specified program or
combination number of the specified bank.
If you select another program or combination, without
writing, the data of the newly selected program or
combination will be called into the edit buffer, and
your changes will be lost.
Note: When you press the COMPARE switch in
Program mode, or Combination mode, the data from
memory (i.e., the contents that were written into
memory) will be temporarily called into the edit buffer.
This allows you to compare the settings you are editing
with the original un-edited settings.
Writing Global settings, user Drum
Kits
The settings you edit in Global mode can be written
into internal memory. This is done using the operations
Write Global Setting, and Write User Drum Kits. If you
wish to use these edited settings after you turn the
power off, be sure to write the data first.
There are two ways to write global settings, user Drum
Kits.

Program
INT–A 0...127
Combination

When you write, the
program or combination
settings will be saved in
internal memory.
When you select a program
or combination, its data is
called from internal memory
into the edit buffer.
Editing applies to the data in the edit
buffer. Programs or combinations will
play according to the data in the edit
buffer.
