I wonder if there's a subtle difference here. I am assuming that we are in combi mode, changing to prog mode for full editing and returning to combi mode to the *same* combi. David actually said
Dan's statements make sense, that a combi does not contain a program nor does it use the parameters stored in the PCG. It uses parameters loaded into the buffer because the combi track refers to that program.
Is changing the combi causing the difference?

which sounds like changing to Combi mode and selecting a different combi.Now go to *a* Combi that uses that program.

Not the CX-3, I know that for a fact for running into this problem head on this WE.danatkorg wrote:See my previous post. Edits to Programs are reflected immediately in Combis. Tone Adjust settings in the Combi may mask this.
Changed the drawbars, saved the prgm, changes weren't present in the combi. It's pretty obvious too.
But I didn't install the latest patch thought.

Drawbars are in the CX-3's Tone Adjust assignments by default. In a Combi, this will mask changes to the drawbars at the Program level. Removing the Tone Adjust assignments from the Combi will eliminate the masking; re-loading the Tone Adjust settings from the Program will bring in the Program's settings.

A reasonable hypothesis. Just to make sure, I tried it out and confirmed that this works properly as well.LivePsy wrote:I wonder if there's a subtle difference here.

I've just started to notice my piano has started sounding different in my combi's. Going to the original program it sounds right. I tried reloading it in the combi slot and no difference. I built a new combi and it sounds right. Apparently I have saved some kind of changes in those combi's that have altered the sound.
So, is there a way to fix this without remaking the combi's?

Three possibilities come to mind: KARMA, Tone Adjust, and effects. All can be copied from the Program to the Combi, if desired.geoelectro wrote:I've just started to notice my piano has started sounding different in my combi's.

Thanks Dan,
I've looked at those. The sound is very compressed and thin. No dynamics. If I hit the keys real hard, it just sounds like the velocity has hit a ceiling and gets thinner. I've noticed that turning on my Yamaha P-80 after Kronos is up causes some strange changes to a combi. I may have saved a combi with some of these changes that has spread by copying to other combi's.

That's what was happening to me too.

In my beloved Alesis Fusion, there is a function to edit programs into Combis and Song mode without affecting original programs. You can have only 8 slots if I remember well. You can select parameter & value for any slot (OSC1 attack, offset, filter, etc.)
The way is quite simple: a filter (or interface or pre patch module or...) inserted between combi and program. In this case, patch remain unchanged but is controlled by pre patch instructions.
Note on -> Pre patch module into Combi (example CC07, value 103) -> patch sound.
Anyway, I do thank Korg to include the edit from Combi/Song. Is a good step forward
