Editing KARMA Editing KARMA in Combination mode
243
In a combination, the area in square brackets [ ]
automatically shows a portion of the category name of the
program selected for each timbre controlled by the KARMA
CONTROLS sliders and KARMA SWITCHES. This lets
you know the timbre whose phrase is being controlled by
each KARMA CONTROLS slider and KARMA SWITCH.
If more than one timbre is being controlled, the area in
square brackets will indicate “MLTI.”
Auto Assign KARMA RTC Name (See “Auto Assign
KARMA RTC Name” on page 149 of the Parameter Guide)
Specifying the random seeds
For each GE realtime parameter group, you can specify
whether the random seed (used to generate random values)
will be shared between the four KARMA modules.
1. Go to the Combination P7: KARMA– Random Seeds
page.
Normally, you will set the four modules to use separate
random seeds as shown above; “A”: 1, “B”: 2, “C”: 3, and
“D”: 4. If you have selected the same GE for two or more
KARMA modules and want them to play in unison using the
identical random values, you must select the same random
seed for each of these modules. For more information, see
“7–8: Random Seeds” on page 487 of the Parameter Guide.
Linking KARMA settings to Combi
changes
KARMA settings can be saved individually for each
Combination. Normally, when you select a new
Combination, its KARMA settings will be loaded as well. In
some cases, however, you may wish to try out different
Combinations while keeping the KARMA settings the same.
The Global Basic page Load KARMA Settings when
changing parameters let you select between these two
behaviors. There are separate settings for Programs, Combis,
and Songs. To set this up:
1. Go to the Global Basic page.
2. Under “Load KARMA setting when changing”, set
the “Combinations” check-box as desired.
Check the box to load the individual Combinations’
KARMA settings.
Un-check the box to keep KARMA settings the same, even
when changing Combinations.
For more information, see “Load KARMA settings when
changing” on page 755 of the Parameter Guide.
