Hi, Can anyone tell me if this is possible with the M3?

I'm using the M3M with a Yamaha CP33 Piano. I have about 200 combinations that I need to set up for playing live and I much prefer the Yamaha piano sound to the M3's.

So what I was hoping to do was switch off local control on the Yamaha, and send the midi out to the M3M and back to the Yamaha with keyboard zones and transposes defined on the M3M.

Is this possible and if so, how should I go about doing it?

Cheers

Martin

Well, your sarky response probably gives me my answer. I was hoping that the midi called be sent back from the M3M but I guess not.

Thanks for your kind assistance.

Already explained that MIDI was expected to loop back from the M3M. So with Local Off this should still work - as local off does not make a synthesizer mute, it simply disconnects the local controls from the sound engine. They will still respond via MIDI.

However I know for other messages types (program change for e.g.) Korg's workstations do not repeat messages. In the case of the M3M, I'm not sure if an EXT timbre would retransmit notes received via MIDI.

You could try it though, would be worth knowing!
