Detailed Editing with Combinations
You can edit the preloaded combinations (Banks A, B,
and C) with which the M3 is shipped, or start with an
initialized Combination to create your own original
sounds.
You can use the factory Programs to create new
Combinations, or use your own custom Programs. If
you’re in the process of editing a Program in Program
mode, and you use the Program in a Combination,
you’ll hear the edited version in Combination mode as
well.
Overview of editing pages
P0: Play is where you select and play programs, make
quick edits using the Control Surface, and adjust the
KARMA settings. The other pages let you modify the
sound in more detailed ways.
