PROG P0: Play
This is the main Program mode page for EDS Programs.
Among other things, you can:
• Select Programs
• Make basic edits to KARMA
• Set up the audio inputs and resampling options
• Check the control surface content, and control it.
All MIDI data in Prog P0: Play is transmitted and
received on the global MIDI channel MIDI Channel
(Global 1–1a).
Tip: Auto Song Setup
The Auto Song Setup feature copies the current Program or
Combination into a Song, and then puts the M3 in record-
ready mode.
If inspiration for a phrase or song strikes you while you’re
playing, you can use this function to start recording
immediately. For more information, please see “Tip: Auto
Song Setup” on page 192.

Bank (Bank Select)
[INT–A...F, GM, g(1)...g(9), g(d), USER–A...G]
This is the Bank containing the current Program.
The GM bank contains a full set of General MIDI 2
Programs, as well as variation sub-banks g(1)–g(9) (GM2
variation programs), and bank g(d) (drums).
Each time you press the BANK SELECT I–G switch, you’ll
step through these variation banks in the following order:

• Rewritable banks INT–A–INT–E and USER–A–G each
contain 128 programs (a total of 1,536). Of the non-
rewritable banks, G contains GM2 capital programs,
g(1)–g(9) contain GM2 variation programs, and g(d)
contain GM2 drum programs.
• Bank INT–F can be selected if the optional EXB-RADIAS
is installed. If this is installed, 128 special programs for
the EXB-RADIAS will be available.
• Bank INT–E will be selected as the default destination
for writing resampled multisamples as programs when
you use the menu command Auto Sampling Setup.
• The GM basic sounds will be selected for banks for
which there is no variation sound. (An “*” is displayed
at the beginning of the program name.)
• If the optional EXB-RADIAS is installed, the bank type
of the USER-A–G banks can be switched between EDS
and RADIAS. You won’t be able to save programs in a
bank that is set to the wrong bank type. Use the Global
mode menu command Set Prog User-Bank Type to
make this setting. For more information, please see “Set
Prog User-Bank Type” on page 382.
