If you hold down one note, I want it to have a 'pumping' effect (like pulsing a long with the beat of my song). How can I do this live on my M3?

Pumping is done by an LFO of some sort, but without you saying what you want to use LFO to modulate (pitch = vibrato, volume = tremolo, odds are you want one of those), we can't direct you further.

arpeggiator is one way, another is to sync slicer/delay type of fx to midi tempo.

I don't want tremolo or vibrato. I want to be able to hold one note down and it play 2 semi quavers of the same note.

Is this possible?

Should've said that from the start then The more you can describe your problem, the easier it is for someone to help.

What you want is an arpeggiator; on the M3, that takes the form of Karma, which is much more advanced than an arpeggiator (which means it's more powerful but harder to use). I don't have an M3 myself, so I can't be any more help here, but that's what you want to look at.

I think what you may be referring to is called 'ducking' which is achieved with sidechain compression and is very popular in dance and trance music. Do a search for sidechain compression with the M3 on youtube to see how to do it, or check out this thread on karma-labs http://www.karma-lab.com/forum/showthre ... =sidechain

Great! I'll try that!

Do you mean within Karma??

No, that's part of the settings for the program you want to be altered in that way.
