Using KARMA
242
With the appropriate “ASSIGN” settings, a GE realtime
parameter of (for example) module A can controlled
independently by Master and Module A. For example
you can make settings so that the Swing parameter of a
drum GE on module A is controlled in MASTER by
slider 1 over a range of 0–50%, and in MODULE A by
slider 1 over a range of 50–100%.
Master: 0–50%
Module A: 50–100%
In this case, if you switch MODULE CONTROL
between MASTER and A while using slider 1 to control
the parameter, the parameter will operate in its last-
controlled state. If you set Swing to 0% in MASTER, and
then switch to module A, Swing will remain at 0% as
long as you don’t move slider 1. However Swing will
change once you move slider 1 to control the parameter in
the range of 50–100%.
1. Set MODULE CONTROL to MASTER, and set slider
1 to the minimum position. “Swing” operates at
0%.
2. Change MODULE CONTROL to A. “Swing”
operates at 0%.
3. Move slider 1 to the maximum position. “Swing”
operates at 100%.
The internal settings are automatically controlled so that the
phrase being generated does not change abruptly. In the
above example when you use MASTER to set “Swing” to
0% and then switch to module A, the displayed indication is
50–100% but the parameter is actually operating at a value
of 0%. In this way, you need to be aware that the displayed
indication may not match the actual result.
Perf RTP (Perf Real-Time Parameters)
In the same way as for a program, KARMA parameters other
than GE realtime parameters (e.g., KARMA module
parameters) can also be assigned to controllers.
These settings are valid when MODULE CONTROL is set
to MASTER.
1. Go to the Combination P7: KARMA– Perf Real-Time
Parameters page.
In the same way as for a program, set “Group,” “Parameter,”
“Min,” “Max,” “Value,” “Assign,” and “Polarity.” In a
combination, you can use the four KARMA modules A, B,
C, and D.
Turn on (check) the “A,” “B,” “C,” and/or “D” boxes to
select the module(s) you want to control.
In the above example, KARMA REALTIME CONTROLS
switches 1, 2, 3, and 4 are controlling the Run/Mute setting
of modules A, B, C, and D respectively.
Dynamic MIDI settings
You can make these settings in the same way as for a
program. For more information, see “Dynamic MIDI
Sources & Destinations” on page 1114 of the Parameter
Guide.
Naming the KARMA RTC sliders 1–8 and switches
1–8 for MASTER and module A–D
In the same way as for a program, you can select names for
the KARMA CONTROLS sliders and KARMA
SWITCHES. These settings are saved as part of the
combination.
