Synchronization with song stop
Synchronization with a song in Sequencer
mode
• When you press the SEQUENCER START/STOP
switch, the Drum Track function will stop as well
as the sequencer.
• If you want the Drum Track function to start
simultaneously with the beginning of recording,
press the DRUM TRACK ON/OFF switch during
the pre-count before recording (if Trigger Mode is
Start Immediately) or play the keyboard (if Trigger
Mode
is Wait KBD Trig). The Drum Tracks will not
be triggered immediately, but will be triggered in
synchronization with the sequencer the moment
recording starts.
Slave operation
Connect the M3’s MIDI IN to your external MIDI
device’s MIDI OUT, or connect the M3’s USB B
connector to your computer’s USB port.
Set MIDI Clock (Global, see PG page 363) to External
MIDI or External USB. The M3 will synchronize to
MIDI realtime clock and realtime command messages
it receives from the connected MIDI device.
Note: If the M3 is set to MIDI Clock= Auto, it will also
synchronize to the external MIDI device in the same
way if MIDI realtime clock messages are being
received from the external device.
Synchronization to MIDI clock
The KARMA function will synchronize to a tempo
based on the external MIDI clock timing.
Synchronization with MIDI realtime com-
mands
In Sequencer mode, Song Start, Continue, and Stop
messages that the M3 receives will control song
playback and recording just as when you operate the
front panel START/STOP switch. The KARMA
function also will be controlled in the same way as
when you operate the front panel START/STOP
switch. (See “Synchronization with song stop”)
Master operation
Connect the M3’s MIDI IN to your external MIDI
device’s MIDI OUT, or connect the M3’s USB B
connector to your computer’s USB port.
Set MIDI Clock (Global 1–1a) to Internal. The
connected external MIDI device will synchronize to the
MIDI realtime clock and realtime commands it
receives.
Note: The same applies if MIDI Clock=Auto and MIDI
realtime clock messages are being transmitted. For
details, please see “MIDI Clock (MIDI Clock Source)”
on page 364 of the Parameter Guide.
Synchronization via MIDI clock
The connected external MIDI device will synchronize
to the MIDI clock of the M3.
