System Exclusive Messages 4 Mode Change (program -> combi

[apex]

Does anyone know the system exclusive message that you have to send to the m3 to make it change from program mode to combi mode?

if you don't know it, do you know where I can find it? manual, elsewhere?

I think you can use MIDI-OK to monitor the midi out of the M3 and view the sysex when you press the mode buttons.

The sysex to switch to SEQ mode is:
F0 42 30 75 4E 04 F7, but I dont' know off the top of my head which part of that signifies the mode.

I don't know what MIDI-OK is? can you help out with that a little bit? thanks

I meant to say MIDI-OX....
Its a utility that, among other things, captures the MIDI output of an instrument.

Here are the codes:
Combi:
F0 42 30 50 4E 00 F7

Prog:
F0 42 30 50 4E 02 F7

Multi:
F0 42 30 50 4E 04 F7

Sampling:
F0 42 30 50 4E 06 F7

Global:
F0 42 30 50 4E 07 F7

Disk:
F0 42 30 50 4E 08 F7

42 Indicates the SYSEX command is for a Korg
30 Indicates the channel the SYSEX command will be issued i.e.
30=channel 1
31=channel 2
32=channel 3
etc
50 Indicates the Triton. In your case 75 indicates an M3

00, 02, 04, 06, 07, 08 are the modes

F0 Indicates the beginning of the SYSEX message
4E Indicates the next byte is the mode
F7 Indicates the end of the SYSEX message

The basic format of the command is the same for other manufacturers but I don't know the specific 'codes' but they should be documented in their Midi Implementation section.
