inverse of the diagram above. EG Sustain works differently;
if it’s set to a negative value, Tone Adjust takes it from 0
down to the programmed value, and then up to +99, as
shown below.

Relative Tone Adjust Value
Meta parameters don’t affect Program parameters directly.
Instead, they affect the way that other Tone Adjust
parameters work. For instance, Multisample Min # and
Max # set the minimum and maximum values of the Tone
Adjust Multisample parameter.
Saving Tone Adjust Edits
Tone Adjust edits are saved in two different ways,
depending on whether the parameter is Relative or
Absolute. (For more information, please see “Absolute
(Abs), Relative (Rel), Meta parameter,” below.)
Edits to Relative parameters affect the sound immediately,
but don’t change the underlying Program parameter
settings until the Program is saved. When the Program is
saved, the M3 calculates the combined effects of Tone Adjust
and dedicated CC modulation (from the Real Time Sliders,
for instance), and saves the results into the Program
parameters directly. At that point, all of the Relative
parameters are reset to 0.
Edits to Absolute parameters are immediately reflected in
the corresponding on-screen parameters, and vice-versa.
Tone Adjust and MIDI SysEx
The Tone Adjust sliders, and switches all send and receive
MIDI System Exclusive messages. You can use this to record
and play back Tone Adjust edits with a sequencer, including
the built-in sequencer.
Note: The SysEx messages are tied to the physical controls,
and not to the functions to which they are assigned. For
instance, let’s say that slider 1 is assigned to control Filter
Resonance, and that you move slider 1 while recording into
a sequencer. The sequencer will record that slider 1 has
moved, and not that Filter Resonance has changed. If you
later change slider 1 to control LFO1 Speed, playing back the
sequence will affect the LFO, and not Filter Resonance.
Interaction between Tone Adjust and MIDI CCs
A number of the Common Tone Adjust parameters affect
parameters which are also modulated by dedicated MIDI
CCs. The specific CC numbers are noted in the descriptions
for the individual Tone Adjust parameters. For more
information, please see “Tone Adjust Parameters” on
page 22.
Tone Adjust and the CCs work separately. It’s possible, for
instance, for Tone Adjust to reduce the value of a parameter,
and then for a CC to increase it again.
Tone Adjust scales the parameter first, and then the CC
scales the result of the Tone Adjust.

Selected parameter information
This status line shows detailed, read-only information about
the currently selected Tone Adjust parameter.
Control Assignment Value Type Stored Value
Control [SW1...8, SL1...8]
This is the physical controller assigned to the Tone Adjust
parameter.
SW: Switch
SL: Slider
Assignment
This shows the full name of the parameter assigned to the
controller. You can change this using the Assign parameter,
below.
Value
This shows the current value of the parameter. The range of
values will vary depending on the parameter assigned to the
control.
Type [Rel, Abs, Meta]
This shows the type of the parameter, which relates to how
edits to the parameter are saved. For more information,
please see “Absolute (Abs), Relative (Rel), Meta parameter”
on page 19.
Stored Value
This shows the original value of the parameter, before the
effects of Tone Adjust. It applies only to Tone Adjust
parameters which control a single Program parameter.
If you un-assign a Relative parameter from a control, it will
revert to this value.
Switches 1...8
Tone Adjust switches act a little differently than sliders.
When a switch is assigned to a Relative parameter, or an
Absolute parameter with more than two states:
Switch On = On Value (see below)
Switch Off = the Program’s stored value
When a switch is assigned to a two-state Absolute
parameter, such as Hold, the switch status directly reflects
the parameter value:
Switch On = On
Switch Off = Off

On/Off

This lets you assign a Tone Adjust parameter to the switch.
For a full list of the available choices, please see “Common
Tone Adjust Parameters” and “Tone Adjust Parameters,”

On Value [Depends on parameter]
The parameter is set to this value when the switch is On.
