Editing KARMA Editing KARMA in Program mode
237
Here we will describe how to edit the most frequently-used
parameters. For details on the other parameters, refer to “7–
3a: Program Name and Tempo” on page 111 of the
Parameter Guide.
Control – Transpose
This lets you transpose the note data being input to the
KARMA module in semitone steps. This will control the
pitch of the phrase or pattern generated by the KARMA
module. For example if you want to lower a bass phrase by
one octave, set this to –12.
Control – Quantize Trig (Quantize Triggers)
This quantizes the timing of the triggering produced by the
note data. (See “Synchronizing KARMA” on page 247)
Off (unchecked): Triggering will occur the moment you
play the key.
On (checked): Trigger timing will be quantized to the
selected note interval relative to the base tempo.
Note – Trigger
This specifies the triggering conditions for the phrase or
pattern generated by the GE. Try these out and see how they
differ.
Any: Triggering will occur each time you play a key, and the
phrase or pattern will play from the beginning.
AKR: Triggering will occur only the first time you play a
key after having released all notes on the keyboard.
1st: Triggering will occur only at the first note you play after
turning on KARMA.
Dyn: Playing the keyboard will not cause triggering.
Triggering will occur when you operate the controller
specified by Dynamic MIDI.
GE Real-Time Parameters
Here you can edit the GE realtime parameters that are
selected by the KARMA module. You can also assign GE
realtime parameters to the KARMA CONTROLS sliders
and KARMA SWITCHES so that you can use them to
control the phrase or pattern in realtime while you perform.
Note: If you use the Auto RTC Setup function of “Load GE
Options,” the standard slider and KARMA SWITCH
assignments for the RTC Model of that GE will
automatically be made when you select a GE. (See
“Selecting a GE” on page 235)
1. Go to the Program P7: KARMA– GE Real-Time
Parameters page.
Use “GE RTC Select” to switch the set of GE realtime
parameters you want to see.
These buttons display GE realtime parameters 1–16 or 17–
32.
The number and type of GE realtime parameters you can edit
here will differ depending on the selected GE. (There will be
a maximum of 32.) In each GE, the parameters most useful
for controlling the phrase or pattern are provided as presets.
Note: RTC Model: Every GE contains an internal setting
that indicates its RTC Model. Based on the type or purpose
of the GE, the RTC Model provides a certain degree of
standardization to the over 200 internal parameters of the
GE. By default, GEs that have the same RTC Model will be
preset with the same GE realtime parameters.
2. Use “VALUE,” “MIN,” and “MAX” to specify the
value, minimum value, and maximum value of each
GE realtime parameter.
When you select a GE, the default parameter values that are
preset for that GE will be assigned.
The values you assign here are controlled as follows by the
KARMA CONTROLS you specify in the “ASSIGN” field.
3. Use “ASSIGN” to assign each GE realtime parameter
to the desired controller.
4. Use Polarity to specify the polarity of control.
Slider 1–8 000-064-127 =MIN-VALUE-MAX
Slider 1–8 (SW) 000-063 = MIN, 064-127 = MAX
SW 1–8 Off = MIN, On = MAX
