Easy Combination editing
You can edit any of the Combinations shipped with
M50. 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 dramatic changes just from
within the Combi P0: Play page. You can also edit
using the control surface’s knobs on the front panel.
Changing the program
assigned to a timbre
Changing the Programs assigned to timbres (1–16) is a
quick way to dramatically alter the sound of the
Combination.
Changing the program of each 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
PROG BANK A–GM 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 PG page 393)
Note:
To select the timbre program via MIDI program
change the timbre’s status must be set to “INT.”
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
relative volume balance between timbres 1–16. This is
a convenient way to adjust the overall volume.
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.
Simple editing using the
knobs
You can use the Control Surface to perform a variety of
edits.
For example, you can use the control surface to adjust
the Filter cutoff or resonance. You can also use it to
vary the depth of an effect, or to change the way in
which the arpeggiator generates a phrase.
For details, please see “Control Surface knobs” on
page 20.
