EXB-FW for M3 Manual

EXB-FW option (FireWire board) If you install the optional EXB-FW in the M3, youll be able to use its Virtualized Hardware functionality. Virtualized Hardware is functionality that allows audio signals and MIDI messages from a Korg hardware device supporting this functionality to be routed via a dedicated Korg editor running in your DAW software or other host application and sent to tracks in your host application, letting you use your Korg hardware device as though it were a plug-in software instrument. In order to use the Virtualized Hardware functionality, youll need to connect the M3 to your computer via a FireWire (IEEE 1394) cable, and use the M3 Editor/ Plug-In Editor version compatible with the EXB-FW. With this setup, youll be able to perform various types of control including total recall, as follows. Edit and set up the M3s various mode parameters

via MIDI. Send and receive the M3s 2-in and 6-out digital

audio signals. You can send the M3s audio signals to tracks in your host application using the Virtualized Hard- ware functionality. You can apply plug-in effects to these M3 audio signals, and control them together with the data of other audio tracks. You can also apply the M3s effects to the audio sig- nals from audio tracks of your host application.

Send and receive MIDI data to and from your DAW software or other host application.

Note: What you will be able to do will depend on the application youre using.

Please note the following points. The two connectors have the same function. The

connector thats not connected to your computer can be used for a daisy-chain connection with a FireWire device that your computer can recognize. (The M3 will not recognize this device.) If the M3 is powered-off, the daisy-chained FireWire device cannot be detected from the connected computer.

The EXB-FW does not supply bus power. Dont connect the EXB-FW to two computers

simultaneously. Dont connect the EXB-FW to two M3 units

simultaneously. The MIDI data sent from the computer via the

FireWire (IEEE 1394) port to the M3 will not be output from the M3s MIDI OUT connector.

In order to use the M3 Editor/Plug-In Editor with the EXB-FW, you must install and use the KORG FireWire-Audio/MIDI driver. please see Installing the software on page 34 of the Operation Guide.

Each input/output device can be used only from a single item of software. Multi-client operation is not supported.

You will need to make audio and MIDI device settings in your DAW software or other host

application. For details, refer to the manual of the software youre using.

For more about the EXB-FW, refer to the manual included with the EXB-FW.

Example connections between a computer and an M3 with the EXB-FW installed For details on installing the EXB-FW option in the

M3, please see Installing the EXB-FW on page 205 of the Operation Guide.

For details on installing the M3 Editor/Plug-In Editor and the KORG FireWire-Audio/MIDI driver, please see Installing the software on page 34 of the Operation Guide.

The connection examples described here are for using Virtualized Hardware functionality with an M3 in which the EXB-FW has been installed. For details, please see the M3 Editor/Plug-In Editor Manual (PDF) of a version that supports the EXB-FW, and the manual for the application youre using. 1. Use a FireWire (IEEE 1394) cable to connect the

M3s FireWire connector to your computers FireWire (IEEE 1394) port.

2. Make the necessary settings in the M3s Global mode.

For details, please see Global mode settings on the M3 on page 32 of the Operation Guide. 3. Make the necessary settings on your computer.

Make the appropriate settings for the DAW software or other host application youre using. Refer to the manual of your software for details. For an example of a setup in a host application, please see M3 Editor/ Plug-In Editor Manual (PDF).

Connection for the M3-61/73/88 (for the M3 Plug-In Editor)

Connection for the M3-M (for the M3 Plug-In Editor)

FW-MIDI baud rate The baud rate of FW-MIDI (a MIDI connection via the FireWire cable) is the same 31.25 kBps as when using a conventional MIDI cable. Since the dump data used by the M3 is large, performing a data dump via FW-MIDI will take a long time if you execute an "all dump."

If you're using FW-MIDI, we recommend that you minimize the settings in Total Recall & Data Sync Settings. Refer to the M3 Editor/M3 Plug-In Editor owners manual (PDF) section on Software Setup.

By using USB-MIDI in conjunction with this, you can utilize the high-speed communication rate of USB 2.0. Refer to the M3 Editor/M3 Plug-In Editor owners manual (PDF) section on Software Setup/MIDI Settings.
