About the PRODUCER.PCG file

PRODUCER.PCG contains a re-ordered version of the standard factory Programs.

When shipped from the factory, the sounds are presented in a mixed order, so that incrementing through Programs might call up first a piano, then a pad, then a drum kit, and so on. This factory preset order is stored on the M3 system data as the Preload PCG data.

In the PRODUCER.PCG file, on the other hand, these same sounds are grouped by category. As you increment through the Programs, you'll find that all of the pianos are together, all of the pads are together, and so on. This lets you step through similar sounds by pressing INC and DEC, without using the Category window.

The Combinations are still in the standard factory preset order, but have been edited so that they refer to the correct Programs.

The arrangement of EDS and RADIAS banks is the same as in the standard factory order: EDS Programs are in banks INT-A, B, C, D, E, USER-A, B, C, D, and RADIAS programs are in bank INT-F.

You can load the PRODUCER.PCG file on the CD-ROM.

For a complete list of the Programs and their ordering, please see the file M3_PRODUCER_VNL_EFGJ.PDF. All of the other sound data, such as Combinations, and Drum Kits, are the same as in the standard Preload PCG data. For more information about these sounds, please see the file M3_VNL_EFGJ.pdf.

Note:

- When PRODUCER.PCG is loaded, the factory demo songs, Preset Template Songs, and any user Combination or Song data created with the Program data from Preload PCG will not sound properly.

Regarding the PRODUC88.PCG file:
- If you purchased the M3-M, the M3-61 or the M3-73, please use the PRODUCER.PCG file. If you purchased the M3-88, please use the PRODUC88.PCG file.
- In the PRODUC88.PCG, a few of the Programs and Combinations have different octave pitch settings than their counterparts in the PRODUCER.PCG. They have been adjusted to play better when using the full 88 key range.
- The same Voice Name List (M3_PRODUCER_VNL_EFGJ.pdf) can be used in both cases.
