Linking with KARMA
You can link KARMA and the Drum Track so that they start
and stop together.
1. Go to the KARMA Trigger page.
2. In the Module Parameters - Trigger section, in the
Control Group, note the Link to Drum Track check-
box.
3. Turn on Link to Drum Track.
The front panel LINKED LED will light.
If Link to Drum Track is on, KARMA will be linked with
the Drum Track start/stop.
4. Turn the KARMA ON/OFF switch on.
When linked, KARMA will always wait for the Drum Track.
So, unless the DRUM TRACK switch is on, KARMA won’t
start yet.
5. Turn the DRUM TRACK switch on.
KARMA will start to play along with the Drum Track,
according to the Drum Track’s Trigger Mode. See “Turning
the Drum Track on and off,” above, for more information.
If you turn off the DRUM TRACK switch while KARMA is
operating, KARMA will also stop.
For more details, please see “Using KARMA and the Drum
Track together,” on page 255.
Drum Track and the Control Surface
You can use the control surface to control the Drum Track’s
mix parameters, including volume, play/mute, solo on/off,
EQ, and effects sends.
1. Play a Drum Track pattern.
See “Turning the Drum Track on and off” on page 250.
2. Press the CONTROL ASSIGN TIMBRE/TRACK
switch.
3. On the display, press the Play tab, and then press the
Control Surface tab.
The Control Surface page will appear.
This page displays and reflects the control surface settings.
It’s convenient to watch this page while using the control
surface, since it shows the parameter names and precise
values.
Note: You can use the control surface regardless of the page
that’s currently shown in the display.
4. Use slider 3 to adjust the Drum Track volume.
5. Use Play/Mute switch 3 to toggle the Drum Track’s
sound on and off.
Note that this controls only the sound of the Drum Track
Program, and is independent of whether or not the Drum
Track pattern is playing.
6. Press the MIXER KNOBS button until
the CHANNEL STRIP LED lights up.
This makes the knobs control a virtual channel
strip, including pan, EQ, and effects sends.
7. Press the MIX SELECT 3 button to
select the Drum Track on the Control Surface.
8. Use knobs 2-6 to adjust the Drum Track’s EQ.
