Easy Program editing
Simple editing using the 
sliders and knobs
All of the M50’s programs can be edited. You can start 
by editing a preloaded program, or you can initialize a 
program and create your own from scratch.
It is a lot of work to create the sound you want by 
starting with an initialized program. It’s often more 
convenient to start with a preloaded program that’s 
close to what you have in mind, and then edit it to 
your taste. On the M50, you can use the knobs of the 
front panel control surface to make very effective edits 
simply from within the Prog P0: Play page.
For example, you can vary the cutoff, resonance, or 
release time by operating the knobs.
Adjusting the EQ
You can adjust a mid-sweepable three-band EQ in the 
Prog P0: Play– Main page. This EQ will affect both 
oscillator 1 and oscillator 2.
1. Access the Prog P0: Play– Main page.
2. In the display, select the EQ that you want to edit.
3. Use the VALUE controllers (e.g., VALUE slider) to 
edit the value.
Controlling Volume, Mute, and Solo 
for Oscillators 1/2 and the Drum Track
In the Prog P0: Play– OSC/DrumTrk Mixer page, you 
can adjust the volume of the oscillators and drum 
track, and make mute and solo settings.
1. Access the Prog P0: Play– OSC/DrumTrk Mixer 
page.
2. Select a slider in the display, and use the VALUE 
slider etc. to adjust the volume of oscillators 1 and 
2 and the drum track.
Note: 
With single-oscillator programs, you won’t be 
able to control oscillator 2.
3. You can press the Play/Mute button in the display 
to toggle the Play/Mute status of oscillators 1 and 2 
and the drum track.
4. You can press the Play/Mute button in the display 
to toggle the Solo On/Off status of oscillators 1 
and 2 and the drum track.
The operation of the Solo function will switch each 
time you select “Exclusive Solo” in the menu (see PG 
page 73).
