MIDI channels
MIDI messages can be exchanged when the transmitting
and receiving devices are set to the same MIDI channel.
MIDI uses sixteen channels, numbered 1–16. The way in
which channels are handled will differ depending on the
mode.
Program mode and Sampling mode
• Program selections, effect on/off, and exclusive data is
transmitted and received on the global MIDI channel.
The global MIDI channel is the basic channel that the M3
uses for MIDI transmission/reception, and is set by
MIDI Channel
(Global 1–1a).
• The KARMA function in Program mode will transmit
and receive on the global MIDI channel.
• The Drum Track function in Program mode will
transmit and receive on the following MIDI channels.
Receive:
Global MIDI channel.
Transmit:
The MIDI channel specified by the Drum Track
Prog MIDI Out
(Global 1–1a) setting (default: channel
10).
Note: Transmission is enabled if Drum Track Prog MIDI
Out
(Global 1–1a) is checked. By default, this is off
(unchecked).
Combination mode
• The global MIDI channel is used to transmit/ receive
messages for selecting a combination and turning effects
on/off, and to transmit/receive exclusive data.
• Each timbre will transmit/receive MIDI data on the
MIDI Channel
(Combi 3–1(2)c) that is specified for that
timbre.
• The KARMA function will transmit and receive on the
In (Input Channel)
and Out (Output Channel) specified
for each module. You will normally set In (Input
Channel)
to Gch so that the KARMA function will
receive messages from the M3’s keyboard and
controllers.
• The Drum Track function will transmit and receive on
the following MIDI channels.
Receive:
Global MIDI channel. The M3’s keyboard will
control triggering.
Transmit:
The MIDI channel specified by the Drum Pat-
tern Output (Combi 1–1a) setting of each combination.
Set this to match the MIDI channel of a timbre to which a
drum program is assigned.
• The Ch MIDI channel specified for each effect (Combi 8–
1–4a, 9–2a) is used to control dynamic modulation of the
insert/master/total effect, the pan following the insert
effect, and send 1 and 2.
• When you operate the keyboard or controllers of the M3,
messages will be transmitted on the global MIDI
channel, and will also be transmitted on the MIDI
channel of any timbre whose Status (Combi 2–1a) is set
to EXT or EX2.
• Channel messages will be received if they match the
MIDI channel of a timbre whose Status is set to INT
(Combi 3–1(2)c).
Sequencer mode
• The global MIDI channel is used to transmit/ receive
exclusive data and for messages that switch effects on/
off.
• MIDI data transmission/reception for each MIDI track
will occur on the MIDI channel specified for each MIDI
track by MIDI Channel (Seq 3–1(2)c).
• The KARMA function will transmit and receive on the
In (Input Channel)
and Out (Output Channel) specified
for each module. You will normally set this to the
channel of the MIDI track you want to record using the
KARMA function.
• The Drum Track function will transmit and receive on
the following MIDI channels.
Receive:
The MIDI channel specified by the Drum Pat-
tern Input (Seq 1–1a) setting of each song. You will nor-
mally set this to Tch and use the M3’s keyboard to control
triggering.
Transmit:
The MIDI channel specified by the Drum Pat-
tern Output (Seq 1–1a) setting of each song. Set this to
match the MIDI channel of the MIDI track to which a
drum pattern is assigned.
• The MIDI channel specified for each effect by the Ch
parameter (Seq 8–1–4a, 9–2a) is used to control dynamic
modulation of the insert/master/total effect, the pan
following the insert effect, and send 1 and 2.
• When you operate the keyboard or controllers of the M3,
messages will be transmitted on the MIDI channel
selected by Track Select (Seq 0–1–1(2)a). However,
messages will be transmitted only if the selected MIDI
track has a Status of BTH, EXT, or EX2. For more
information, please see “Track Select” on page 196.
• When the sequencer is played back, musical data of
MIDI tracks whose Status is BTH, EXT, or EX2 will be
transmitted on the specified MIDI channels.
• MIDI tracks whose Status is INT or BTH will receive
channel messages of the matching MIDI channel. For
more information, please see “Status” on page 226, and
“MIDI Channel” on page 226.
Note on/off
Note-on [9n, kk, vv]
Note-off [8n, kk, vv]
(n: channel, kk: note number, vv: velocity)
When you play a note on the M3’s keyboard, it will transmit
note-on/off messages.
While the KARMA function is operating, the note-on/off
data generated by the KARMA function will be transmitted.
(See “Local Control On settings” on page 614)
If the Drum Track Prog MIDI Out setting (Global 1–1a) is
checked, the drum track pattern will transmit note-on/off
messages while the drum track function is operating.
However, most instruments do not receive or transmit note-
off velocity, and neither does the M3.
Program Change/Bank Select
Changing the program/bank
Program change [Cn, pp]
(n: channel, pp: program number that allows 128 sounds to
be selected)
• Programs 000–127 in banks I-A–I-F and banks U-A–U-G
correspond to program changes [Cn, 00]–[Cn, 7F].
