Effect Guide
Overview
The M3 provides five insert effects, two master effects, and a
total effect, together with a mixer section that controls the
routing of these effects.
For each of these effect processors, you can choose from 170
different types of effects, grouped into the following
categories:
Classification of 170 effects
Effect Preset
Effect Presets let you easily store and recall all of the settings
for an individual effect. You can store up to 16 user presets
for each effect type, in addition to 15 re-writable factory
presets.
The same presets appear in all of the modes (Program,
Combination, Sequencer, and Sampling).
Note that edits to effects parameters are automatically
stored with the Program–you don’t need to store them as an
Effect Preset. Presets just make it easier to re-use your
favorite settings.
For instance, you can save an Effect Preset while working on
a particular Program, and then later use the same Effect
Preset in a different Program, Combination, or Song.
P00: Initial Set:
These are the default settings that are
recalled when you select an effect type in the Insert FX Setup
page. You can’t save your own settings here.
P01…P15:
These contain preset data that Korg plans to
provide in the future. We recommend that you store your
settings in U00–U15.
U00…U15:
These are areas in which you can store your own
settings.
---------------:
This shows that no Effect Preset has been
selected. You’ll see this if you’ve just selected an effect,
written a Program, or selected a new Program. Selecting this
setting from the menu will not have any effect.
Note: Programs save the effects parameter settings, but they
don’t save the number of the selected Effect Preset. If you
select an Effect Preset, and then save the Program, the Effect
Preset setting will revert to “--------------.”
For more information, please see “Using Effect Presets” on
page 101.
Effects in each mode
Program mode
With EDS Programs, you can use insert effects to process the
final sound in the same way that you use the Filter, Driver,
Amplifier, and EQ (equalizer) to process the sound from the
oscillators (OSC 1 & 2). Then the master effects are used to
create overall ambience such as reverb, and use the total
effect to make final adjustments. All of these settings can be
made independently for each program.
The RADIAS programs of the optional EXB-RADIAS differ
in their structure (e.g., filter and amp), but you can apply the
insert effects, master effects, and the total effect to the
oscillators in the same way as for EDS programs.
Combination, Sequencer mode
In Combination and Sequencer modes, you can use the track
EQ and insert effects to process the program sound of
timbre/track. Then you can use the master effects to create
overall ambience, and use the total effect to make final
adjustments.
In Combination mode you can make these settings for each
combination, and in Sequencer mode you can make them
for each song.
