Preparations for recording

Before you begin recording, make sure that the
memory protect setting in Global mode is turned
off. For details, please see “Memory protect” on
page 142.

Creating a Song

Before we can begin this example, we need to select an
empty song where we can record.

1. Press the MODE SEQ switch to enter Sequencer

mode.

2. Choose “Song Select” (e.g., in the P0–1: Play/REC–

Program T01–08 page).

You can press the Song Select popup button, and
choose from a list.

3. Use the numeric keys to input the number of the

new song you want to create, and press the ENTER
switch. (For example, press the 1 switch and then
the ENTER switch.) A dialog box will appear.

If you pressed the Song Select popup to access the
Song No. dialog box, press the desired song number to
open the dialog box.

4. Use “Set Length” to input the desired number of

measures and press the OK button.

You can change the number of measures later if
desired. For details, please see “Set Song Length” on
page 281 of the Parameter Guide.

5. Press the OK button to create the song.

Tip: You can use the ENTER switch instead of the OK
button.

Track settings

Since we’re going to record a new song in this example,
we will start by explaining how to assign a program to
each MIDI track, and make basic settings such as
volume.

1. Assign a program to each MIDI track.

Use “Program Select” to assign a program to each
MIDI track.

At this time you can press the Category popup and
select programs by category.

You can copy various settings from Programs or
Combinations, including effects, KARMA settings,
Tone Adjust, and so on. (See page 64, and page 74)

2. When assigning a program, you can use Track

Select to select the track for which you are making
assignments, and try playing the sound.

3. Set the pan and volume of each MIDI track.

Press the Mixer 1–8 tab (or the Mixer 9–16 tab) to
access the Mixer T01–08 page (Mixer T09–16 page).

• Pan sets the pan of each track, and Volume sets the

volume of each track.

4. Specify the tone generator and MIDI channel that

will be played by each MIDI track.

Press the PAGE SELECT switch to access Seq Page
Select, and press “P3 Track Param.” The P3: Track
Param page will appear. Press the MIDI 1–8 tab (or the
MIDI 9–16 tab) to access the MIDI T01–08 page (MIDI
T09–16 page).

• Use Status to specify whether each track will play

the internal and/or external sound generator.

Normally when using the M3 as a 16-timbre sound
module, you will select INT or BTH.
