Mac “M3 (****)” is shown (the last four digits of the EXB-FW serial number are
shown in the parentheses).
Audio Output
The standalone version and the plug-in effect version (VST) of the M3 Plug-In Fx have a two-
channel audio output. This setting lets you choose which of the M3’s six output channels will
be sent to the two-channel output. You can choose from three choices: Main L/R, Individual
1/2, or Individual 3/4.
This setting is not available in the plug-in instrument version (VSTi) of the M3 Plug-In Editor.
(It is fixed at six-channel multi out.)
Main L/R. . . . . . . . . . Outputs the audio signals assigned to the M3’s L/R outputs.
Individual 1/2. . . . . . Outputs the audio signals assigned to the M3’s
Individual 1/2 outputs.
Individual 3/4. . . . . . Outputs the audio signals assigned to the M3’s
Individual 3/4 outputs.
Buffer Latency (Mac version only)
This sets the audio latency (buffer size) between the M3 itself and M3 Editor (EXB-FW).
A larger value for this setting will make operation more stable, but will increase the latency
(audio delay). You can decrease the latency by specifying a smaller value for this setting, but
the usable values will depend on your system.
CPU Load
Here you can select the CPU load of the FS converter required for audio processing.
With the Low setting, the CPU load will not be high, but the overall latency will be greater. In
contrast, the High setting will cause a greater CPU load, but the overall latency will be less.
However, since the CPU load produced by M3 Editor will be greater, operation may become
unstable depending on the DAW you’re using. Choose the setting that’s most appropriate for
your system.
Total Latency
This indicates the overall latency (audio delay) when using audio in M3 Editor. The latency is
shown in units of ms (milliseconds). The value in parentheses is the number of samples calcu-
lated using this latency time and the currently specified sample rate.
