Editing KARMA Editing KARMA in Combination mode
241
When KARMA is on, your playing on the keyboard will
sound a piano on timbre 1, and will simultaneously be sent to
KARMA modules A and B.
The bass phrase generated by module A is sent on MIDI
channel 02 to play timbre 2.
The drum phrase generated by module B is sent on MIDI
channel 03 to play timbre 3.
4. Use “Timbre Thru” to specify what will sound when
KARMA is off.
When KARMA is off, playing the keyboard will normally
sound only the timbres that match the global MIDI channel
(Ch 01).
In this example, this will be the piano sound produced by
timbre 1 (Ch 01).
If “Timbre Thru” is on (checked), you’ll be able to play
timbres that differ from the global channel when KARMA is
off.
For KARMA module A, turn “Timbre Thru” on (checked).
When KARMA is off, playing the keyboard will sound the
piano of timbre 1 (Ch 01) as well as the bass of timbre 2 (Ch
02).
Editing the parameters of each KARMA
module
You can specify the keyboard zone in which each KARMA
module operates, make MIDI filter settings, and edit
KARMA module parameters. Just as for a program, these
parameters can be specified independently for each
KARMA module.
GE Real-Time Parameters
Here’s how to edit the parameters of the GE selected for
each KARMA module.
1. Go to the Combination P7: KARMA– GE Real-Time
Parameters page.
2. In the tabs at the left, select Master A.
3. Set “MIN,” “MAX,” “VALUE,” “ASSIGN,” and
“POLARITY.”
In the Master tabs, specifying “ASSIGN” lets you edit the
“MIN,” “MAX,” “VALUE,” and “Polarity” settings.
4. Make settings in the same way for Master B, C, and D.
The settings you make here are used when MODULE
CONTROL is set to MASTER.
Master lets you control any parameters of modules A, B, C,
or D. You can also use a single controller to simultaneously
control multiple parameters in different modules; for
example, you might use Slider 1 to control the “Rhythm:
Swing%” parameter of modules A, B, C, and D.
5. In the tabs at the left, select Module A.
6. Set “MIN,” “MAX,” “VALUE,” “ASSIGN,” and
“POLARITY.”
7. Make settings in the same way for Module B, C, and
D.
The “ASSIGN” settings for module A, B, C, and D are used
when MODULE CONTROL is set to A, B, C, or D
respectively.
