Newbie problems

Post by Nelly the Electron »

Hi everybody. I'm not exactly a newbie as I first joined 2 years ago while I briefly had an M3 but since then I've been working with a Yamaha Motif XS and a Roland Fantom G. I got a new M3 expanded a week ago and I have a question which the manuals don't seem to have the answer to.
Having a 61 note keyboard I can't access all the drum sounds in a kit so is it possible to do an octave shift up and down?
Thank you for taking the time to read this, I do hope there is someone out there who can help me.

Neil Gray

Go to the Program Mode and set the "SW1" and" SW2" to octave up / down to be able then in Global Drum Kits to jump up and down from octave to octave ;)

Brilliant! Many thanks for your reply, the screenshots made the whole thing painless and I now see that the switches do have some uses!
Thanks again, Neil

I was a little confused for a minute.

My M3m switches are in a different place.
(upper right from screen).

But the pages are the same.

Thanks so much for the valuable tutorial cminor.

Tutorial was made with M3 virtual GUI :) not shooting M3 itself

Yes.
It is a great and usefull page on karma-lab
I believe that the "other arrangement in the page" is because the GUI was made with the first OS.
The updated OS pages may look different.
But still, it is a fast way to visualy help M3 users.

As logo suggests and you can see it on pages - GUI reflects ver 2 (expanded) OS. Gurn apparently referred the location of knobs (PROG, COMBI; SEQ etc).
