Cautions
USB connection
If you lose data synchronization with the M3 when start-
ing-up the editor, please check the following points.
If you’re using a USB hub, try connecting the M3 directly to a USB port on the computer itself
to see whether it will work. You can also try removing all other connected USB devices except
for the M3 itself.
When you lose data synchronization, please perform the “Receive All” or “Transmit All”
function in the Editor’s “UTILITY” menu in order to synchronize the data between the editor
and the hardware.
The M3’s USB ports support USB 2.0.
Since the M3 supports USB 2.0, we recommend that you connect it to a USB port on your
computer that supports USB 2.0, in order to allow high-speed data transfer.
FW-MIDI (FireWire MIDI)
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, per-
forming 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.
