Playing and editing Combinations
68
Easy Combination editing
You can edit any of the Combinations shipped with
M3. You can create your own combinations by editing
a preloaded combination, or by starting from an
initialized combination.
Even without moving to the various pages for detailed
editing, you can make effective changes just from
within the Combi P0: Play page. You can also edit
using the switches and sliders of the front panel
Control Surface.
Changing the programs within
the Combination
Changing the Program assigned to each timbre (1–16)
is a quick way to dramatically alter the sound of the
Combination.
Note: Selection via MIDI program changes is limited to
timbres whose status is “INT.”
Selecting programs from the front
panel and display
To change the Program assigned to a Timbre:
1. Access the Combi P0: Play– Program T01–08/T09–
16 page.
In this page you can view the program assigned to
each timbre 1–16, and the play/mute and solo status of
each.
2. Use any of the following methods to select a
Program for each timbre.
• Choose Program Select, use numeric keys 0–9 to
input the program number, and press the ENTER
switch.
• Choose Program Select and turn the VALUE dial,
VALUE slider or use the q/u switches.
• If the Program Select parameter is selected, the
BANK I-A–U-G switches will switch program
banks. (If Timbre Program Select is selected, the
BANK switch LED of the program bank selected for
that timbre will light.)
• From the Bank/Program Select menu you can view
and select programs by bank.
• From the Category/Program Select menu you can
view and select programs by category.
• You can transmit MIDI program changes from a
connected external MIDI device. (See “Selecting
Combinations from MIDI” on page 66)
Note: is shown if the optional EXB-RADIAS is
installed.
Adjusting the mix
Adjusting the volume of each timbre
1. Access the Combi P0: Play– Mixer T01–08 page.
This page shows the volume, pan, and Program
assignments for all 8 Timbres.
2. Select the on-display Volume slider for Timbre 1.
Use q/u, the VALUE slider, or the numeric keypad to
set the volume as desired.
If you check Hold Balance, moving any one of the
volume sliders (volume values) will cause the volume
of the other timbres to change as well, maintaining the
volume balance between timbres 1–16. This is a
convenient way to adjust the overall volume.
Note: You can use the Control Surface sliders to adjust
the volume of each timbre. (See “Adjusting the volume
of each timbre” on page 68)
Adjusting the pan of each timbre
1. Access the Combi P0: Play– Mixer T01–08 page.
2. Select the on-screen Pan knob for Timbre 1, and
edit its value as desired.
Timbre pan interacts with the pan stored in the
Program. A setting of C064 reproduces the Program’s
oscillator pan settings. Adjusting the Timbre Pan will
move the sound to left or right while preserving the
pan relationship between the oscillators. A setting of
L001
is far left, and R127 is far right.
