Setting up the M3 Plug-In Editor
This section explains how to set up the M3 Plug-In Editor in your host application and make 
settings so that it will operate correctly. Make settings as appropriate for your system and 
setup.
About the M3 Plug-In Editor
The M3 Plug-In Editor sends and receives only parameter data to and from the M3. Unlike 
typical plug-in instruments, the M3 Plug-In Editor does not produce an audio signal. Your 
M3 will output audio signals when the M3 Plug-In Editor sends it MIDI messages.
If you want to send the M3’s audio signal to an audio track of your host application and use it 
in conjunction with a plug-in effect etc., refer to “Using your host application to control the 
M3’s audio signal” (☞p.33)
Note: Because the M3 Plug-In Editor does not handle audio signals, you can’t insert a plug-in 
effect into the channel of the track in which the M3 Plug-In Editor is inserted, or send its 
audio signal via a send or bus.
