Sound is cut while changing combi

Hi there,

I'm having troubles on both M3 and X50. I'd like to prevent the sound from being cut when I change Combi.

For example, I'm playing and maintaining a string harmony on Combi-A, and when I switch to Combi-B, the sound is cut.

What I want is the M3 to memorize the sound or harmony I was playing on previous combi when I maintain it, and, when I release it and then play the keys again I want the sound from Combi-B to be played, but remember that I've already switched to Combi-B before (is it ok so far ?).

Maybe there's something to be set up in midi channels.

Many thanks for your help !

Can't be done with combis. It can be done in sequencer mode, though there is a tradeoff involved in doing so. Search the forums to find out how; it's been posted here before (not necessarily for the M3, but the way of doing it is the same)

See if my methods can help you out.

Avoiding cutting the sound when changing prog/combi/seq

It can be done using Karma. Go to Stephen Kay's wiki and read up on it. I use it live all the time. You can use the scene buttons to change seamlessly without cutoff of sound. You just can't exceed 16 programs in a combi. Really though, most combis use three four programs maybe five if splits are involved. Using Karma for program or combi changes is the ONLY thing I use Karma for. I can't believe Korg doesn't expand this technique using Karma making the M3 a more user friendly live board because everyone knows using the program/combi buttons are far too slow for live playing.

Oh, here's my topic again

Well i had a look to those different methods, but it would be great if I could manage all of it with footswitches. Pressing a button while playing live is a bit anoying as I usually play with both hands.

I've assigned Program Up to the footswitch to change combi while playing live. I miss another FS to assign AMS or Karma...

Anyway I think I can use these methods for the moment. Karma seems to be the more reliable one isn't it ?

Thanks a lot for your help
