About the Preload data
When you install the M3 Editor, the factory preload data “PRELOAD.M3all” will be copied to
the “My Documents” folder (Windows version) or the “Applications”–“KORG”–“M3” folder
(Mac version). This is the sound data that is saved in the M3 when it is shipped from the fac-
tory.
If you have the M3-M/61/73, use the PRELOAD.M3all preload data. If you have the M3-88,
use the PRELOAD88.M3all preload data.
To shorten the startup time, you can make settings so that this data file is loaded automati-
cally when the M3 Editor starts up, so that you won’t need to read the data from the M3.
