Korg M3 - Basic Sequencing (Part 2) - In The Studio With Korg

[@johnfdm123]

God, I wish I'd found your tutorials sooner. I've had an M50 for so many years, and the owner's manual has never been of any real help. I learned more in the course of watching two of your videos than I did over the last 13-14 years of browsing the M50 owner's manual.

[@L1915SS]

Thank You Korg. This is just what I needed. I am used to sequencing on Cubase, so this was spot on. Two videos like this save hours of sifting through the manual for me. Many thanks!

[@debris54]

great stuff... great job... very clear step to step, not too fast, not too slow (which drives me nuts...) and not repeating the same thing over and over again... give the man a raise! more please... almost impossible to describe how much easier it is to get into things when I can watc a video... I think I developed an aversion to manuals or something.. thanks... and again.. more!!

[@KorgOfficial]

@jmlatour Yes and yes. Touch the drop-down menu in the upper-right corner, and select "Copy from Combi" or "Copy from Prog." If you're in Program or Combi mode, and you want to record exactly what you're playing, you can also hold ENTER and press the sequencer REC/WRITE button to copy all the current settings to a new Song.

[@pictobug]

Definitely need more of these. Thanks.

[@jwillis35]

@ginises83 Hopefully you figured this out, but the best way to chain together sequences you create using the Cue List. Be sure to set the Cue List to "auto" for tempo so it automatically takes your original tempo settings. You can set a basic tempo at the beginning of each sequence, but you can also set multiple tempos within any sequence or song. The manual explains this well.

[@Stufffed]

This is pure gold. Thanks!

[@KorgOfficial]

@arjarns You can't create multiple tracks from a single track, so you would need to record the kick and snare drums to two separate tracks.

[@khiar535]

thx you are very good teacher I ENJOYED

[@jwillis35]

@MarkoDeLaVoota The best way is to do this: record bass 1 in the RPPR feature. Set the length of the lick or loop and record. Then do the same for bass 2. Now assign a key to bass 1 and bass 2. Go back to the sequencer main page, setup two tracks for bass (bass 1 and bass 2). Click the RPPR button then record in realtime. Hold the key assigned for bass 1 down when it's supposed to play, hold the key assigned to bass 2 when it's needed. There are other methods.

[@jwillis35]

@bertbushey You can do it. I have done it before. You have to change the MIDI program changes that are set in the original MIDI file. Load the midi file, then before you choose the sounds you want, take out the program changes that are already set. In many cases those changes are set to GM format. You can put the Korg M3 in GM Mode, but if you wish to use the sounds you want, then take out the file's original program changes, then choose your sounds. Then set the volume and pan and then save.

[@KorgOfficial]

Thanks, we will keep them coming. Rich hopes you're not one of those fast-running zombies, so he and his spicy brains can escape.

[@KorgOfficial]

@jp7rambo Something is incorrect in the saving process. Please contact our Product Support department to help walk you through this.

[@c0mpman]

Thank you, great videos :)

[@RainMainDein]

Great, thanks alot.

[@bertbushey]

Hey all.. great video and information. Here's my challenge. I "loaded" a midi song from usb into my Korg. Original description of one of the instrmnts is "jazz guitar" but when it is "loaded", it comes up piano. When I change it to a Jazz Guitar, it seems to take it, but... 1. There does not seem to be a way to simply "save" the Song with that change. 2. When I "play" it, it goes a couple of counts, then changes back. What am I doing wrong?

[@TheGimpwars]

This is great thank you. any news on an M4? also if i just purchased a new M3 that someone had in stock how do i get it registered & do i still have a warranty even tho its discontinued i feel i got lucky getting a new one. please help

[@TheGimpwars]

can you also use the different internal drum tracks cutting combining drum tracks that come in the machine. I can see using a lot of tracks to get the drums down when they are all in the machine already. IMOP. thanks for the time & help

[@sustainlight1]

how many styles of drum tracks can you get in the korg m3?

[@isaacpinedo]

Hey are you able to use the pre-recorded drum beats that the M3 comes with in sequencer mode? If so are you able to loop and edit them just the same as if you had played it yourself?

[@movieimix269]

When I switch tracks in M3M, only the first track is played in the sequencer. Why?

[@MeredithWaters]

Thanks so much for this, huge help! Couple questions...with my Korg N364, I can assign one Combi sound to tracks 1-8 (or 9-16). I usually do that. Now I want to do it again with my M-3 - didn't figure that out on my first run - how to do that? (Surely I can't do 16 Combi tracks?!) Also, is it possible to sequence with KARMA or is that just on OASYS? THANKS :-)

[@Tikimanbob]

I'm playing an M-50 for a show and I'm alternating between using the sequencer and playing live. Can the sequencer be set up to advance the next song in the chain with the foot switch? The foot switch advances in the other modes, but not in sequencer mode. When I use a cue list, it advances to the next song in the sequence without stopping. I need to be able to play a sequence, then play live, while advancing to the next sequenced song and then hit play for the next seq.

[@movieimix269]

Why do I record and play only the first track in the sequencer, even when changing the midi channel?

[@marvinpac]

hello friend. very good your video .. I have a problem with korg m3 ., turns well but do not sound the sounds and clarify if appears the names of the sounds., can you tell me if you know something? thanks and regards

[@micanut48]

There is a very limited info on you tube how to operate OASYS. Since M3 and Kronos are based on OASYS, can I use videos like these as a guide to some operations?

[@FarquadDrum]

Question?when i save my sequences it doesnt save which instrument I picked.When I load all I get is the regular piano even if it was a drum kit???

[@amrithrathnam]

Hi, after building a sequence, I move to media and save, but the screen does not show anything, pls help me as to how to save my sequence.

[@ginises83]

Hello, I wish to do a medley in sequence mode, but the problem is that the tempo song starts 130, and the tempo is 45 to 80 must change the tempo .... how to program them to change automatically moment that I wish

[@MarkoDeLaVoota]

hey guys...don't know how to sequence two different parts of bass line to play in two different parts of song, hmm different bass for begining and differen for next part of song , can it be done with loops ? do I have to time it somehow in two diffrent tracks ? please help....thanks

[@bertbushey]

How do I load and edit MIDI songs (instruments) and then save it on the Korg? What am I doing wrong? The changes don't save...

[@timotej787]

can you save it as an mp3 file and save it to a memory stick?

[@MeredithWaters]

One more comment...I found out you can't just insert a hard drive or flash drive and start saving...have to format it with the "utility" tab first when Media is selected. Evidently u3 smart drives are not friendly to the M3 without removing a partition with your computer. Heads up ppl. Otherwise like me you will think the Media/Save features are not functioning at all :-(

[@TheGimpwars]

Can i please get help. i cant after using basic sequencer & do my beat on track 1 i cant get it to enter track 2. i hit the arrow next to midi track 1 (one) & it wont go to track to. what am i doing wrong please help. im using basic sequencer on m3. very frustrating

[@Morenob1]

I don't like the metronome off this keyboard there's only 4/4??? how do I change it to 3/4 or even 7/8 and stuff??

[@luisquiros4232]

can the m3 play standar midi files?

[@OneirologicAlliance]

how do you save a sequence as a music file?

[@MeredithWaters]

I'm pretty good with my M3 sequencer - check out my channel. But though I've searched the manual I can't seem to solve the problem of accidentally having recorded with the solo button on five tracks. It is permanently in the sequence now - soloing those tracks at measure 52. I've tried everything. How can I eliminate tracks from soloing automatically on playback of the sequence now? THANKS a million!!!

[@Morenob1]

And how to add reverb in SEQ mode?

[@Alasse969]

can you make a french sub???

[@willdeburr]

When touching the event key , they all just beep not like this one .... and my M3 is expended too all updated 2.2
