Global mode Software Setup lets you specify the default settings that the M3 Editor will use
when it starts up. This setting is saved when you execute the UTILITY command Save as
Default, and will be remembered the next time you start up.
Total Recall & Data Sync Setting
Here you can specify the editor data that will be saved and loaded as part of the song data by
your DAW software. This setting lets you save only the data you need. When the M3 Editor
starts up, the types of data that you’ve checked here will also be loaded automatically from
the M3 that’s connected to your computer. (In other words, this data will be synchronized.)
Since a data dump requires a certain amount of time, you may wish to shorten the startup
time by using the Load Data File Automatically function instead of this function, or by using
the UTILITY command Load to load a previously-saved data file into the M3 Editor.
If you have selected the “Sync EX-USB Banks automatically” setting, the multisample names
of all EX-USB-PCM banks loaded into the M3 will be loaded automatically when M3 Editor is
started.
If this setting is selected, M3 Editor will automatically synchronize to the M3 when you load
or unload EX-USB-PCM data on the M3 itself. If this setting is not selected, M3 Editor will not
synchronize automatically, but a message box will inform you that a change has occurred.
If the “Sync KARMA User GE at startup” setting is checked, all banks of the M3’s KARMA
User GE data will be automatically loaded when M3 Editor is started. If you don’t use User
GE data, there’s no need to synchronize this (i.e., no need to check this setting).
Note: The Total Recall & Data Sync Setting function is available only with the M3 Plug-In Edi-
tor.
Load data file automatically
When the M3 Editor starts up, the data file you specify here will automatically be loaded into
the editor. After this process is completed, the data you checked in Total Recall & Data Sync
Setting will be loaded via data dump.
Auto Local Control
This setting automatically sets the M3’s Local Control setting to the appropriate state when
you start up the editor. We recommend that you normally leave this parameter on. The M3’s
Local Control setting will be reset to its original state when you close the editor.
