Introduction

Setting up the M3 Plug-In Editor
If you want to use the M3 Plug-In Editor with the M3 connected to your computer via USB, you must make sure that you have finished installing and setting-up the KORG USB-MIDI Driver before you start up the M3 Editor.
This section explains how to set up the M3 Plug-In Editor in your host application and make settings so that it will operate correctly. Make settings as appropriate for your system and setup.
About the M3 Plug-In Editor
The M3 Plug-In Editor sends and receives only parameter data to and from the M3. Unlike typical plug-in instruments, the M3 Plug-In Editor does not produce an audio signal. Your M3 will output audio signals when the M3 Plug-In Editor sends it MIDI messages.
If you want to send the M3’s audio signal to an audio track of your host application and use it in conjunction with a plug-in effect etc., refer to “Using your host application to control the M3’s audio signal” ( p.8)
