There are several ways to go about it but you need to connect the audio outputs on both to something.

You could connect both the M3 and PA3X to a mixer or audio interface and then send the mixer/interface output to monitors or a DAW.

If you don't have a mixer available you can route the audio from one board into the other. You could connect the M3 main audio outs back to the audio inputs on the PA3X or go the other way and connect the PA3X audio outs to the M3 audio in. Either way you are using one of the boards as the mixer.

I believe that the PA3X has SPDIF digital outputs. The M3 has SPDIF inputs so if you are going to run the audio into the M3 you could go digital.

There's no way to auto load ksc files. You have to do it manually every time you start the M3. The only things that you can get to auto load are the 4 Korg EXPCM KEP files.

Yes, the samples from Korg that you can load in Media mode. Korg had 4 of them and if the M3 finds them on a USB drive they will show on the EX-USB PCM tab in media mode. You can download them from the Support section on the Korg website. Look in he Soundware subsection.

There are also some links there to other sites where you can purchase some additional samples and Programs/Combis. I purchased some combi sets from karma-lab.com. They are very good and make excellent use of Karma.

You should do a factory reset to restore all original programs and combis. Go to Global Mode. Then select Load Preload/Demo Data. Then select "All (Preload PCG and Demo Songs).

This wont load any sample data. If you want the piano samples you will need the EXPCM01.KEP file and it has to be loaded at startup. If you have the XPanded version of the M3 this file should already be on the internal SD card so you shouldn't have to do anything. If you have the original version you will need this file on a USB drive when the M3 starts.

I'm assuming you have OS v2. If you have v1 you wont need the EXPCM01.KEP file at all.

Yes ... I believe I have answered your question yet you keep repeating the same thing. I'm sorry I was unable to help but I guess I don't understand what you are asking. Perhaps someone else can help.
