Korg Forums

Hi, I use the M3 on stage and have done for many years without fault,
I am thinking of changing this now,
I want to now use another keyboard on stage that would be connected to the M3 module via midi cable the M3M would be rack mounted and out of reach,
The problem I have is that I use Karma scenes and would need to control these somehow,

I am thinking of a midi foot controller, do Korg do one that’s compatible with the M3,
Also, what would plug in where? Would I also need a midi box that accepts multiple inputs or would I be able to use the M3M connected to another keyboard and also have the foot controller all using the midi in out thru that are standard fit on the two keyboards?

Thanks,

Hi. Cool idea, haven't done it myself but have you looked at the SYSEX implementation for the M3?

I'd be surprised if there isn't a way to do what you want using SYSEX requests. If that's possible then that opens you up to several controller options.

I use a Yamaha MFC10. I've programmed it with my M3 and it does this:
Footswitches 1-8 are momentary switches that I use to trigger the 8 touchpads on the M3. That way I can "play" the pads with my feet.
Footswitch 9 turns Karma function on and off
Footswitch 0 turns Latch on and off
The pedal sweeps through the Karma presets. I set the range so it is equally divided into 8 steps as I sweep the pedal from fully up to fully down.


Let me know if you need details.
