PROG P0: Play
This is the main Program mode page for EDS Programs.
Among other things, you can:
• Select Programs
• Make basic edits to KARMA
• Set up the audio inputs and resampling options
• Check the control surface content, and control it.
All MIDI data in Prog P0: Play is transmitted and
received on the global MIDI channel MIDI Channel
(Global 1–1a).
Tip: Auto Song Setup
The Auto Song Setup feature copies the current Program or
Combination into a Song, and then puts the M3 in recordready
mode.
If inspiration for a phrase or song strikes you while you’re
playing, you can use this function to start recording
immediately. For more information, please see “Tip: Auto
Song Setup” on page 196.

This is the Bank containing the current Program.
The GM bank contains a full set of General MIDI 2
Programs, as well as variation sub-banks g(1)–g(9) (GM2
variation programs), and bank g(d) (drums).
Each time you press the BANK SELECT I–G switch, you’ll
step through these variation banks in the following order:
G→g(1)→g(2)…g(8)→g(9)→G…
Bank Main contents
INT–A...E For preloaded programs (EDS)
INT–F For EXB-RADIAS programs
G GM2 capital programs
g(1)–(9) GM2 variation programs*
g(d) GM2 drums programs

USER–F, G
These are for user programs (EDS or EXB-RADIUS).
We recommend that you use USER-F to store
programs using multisamples you created in
Sampling mode.
• Rewritable banks INT–A–INT–E and USER–A–G each
contain 128 programs (a total of 1,536). Of the nonrewritable
banks, G contains GM2 capital programs,
0–1
Menu
g(1)–g(9) contain GM2 variation programs, and g(d)
contain GM2 drum programs.
• Bank INT–F can be selected if the optional EXB-RADIAS
is installed. If this is installed, 128 special programs for
the EXB-RADIAS will be available.
• Bank USER–F will be selected as the default destination
for writing resampled multisamples as programs when
using the menu command Auto Sampling Setup.
• The GM basic sounds will be selected for banks for
which there is no variation sound. (An “*” is displayed
at the beginning of the program name.)
• If the optional EXB-RADIAS is installed, the bank type
of the USER-A–G banks can be switched between EDS
and RADIAS. You won’t be able to save programs in a
bank that is set to the wrong bank type. Use the Global
mode menu command Set Prog User-Bank Type to
make this setting. For more information, please see “Set
Prog User-Bank Type” on page 398.
In banks such as INT-A and USER-E, PCM expansion
programs with a program name extensions such as
EX1, EX2, EX1&2, or EX3 will not be properly voiced
unless the corresponding multisamples are loaded.
For details on the factory Programs, please see the “Voice
Name List” (PDF).
