Editing KARMA module parameters
For details on editing the parameters of a KARMA module,
see “Editing KARMA” on page 243.
Performing with KARMA in Combination mode
In Combination mode, up to four KARMA modules can be
operating simultaneously. You can use the four KARMA
modules together with the sixteen timbre programs in a wide
variety of ways, for example by using them to independently
play phrases and patterns for separate programs such as
drums, bass, guitar, and strings.
Selecting a Combination and turning
KARMA on/off
1. Press the COMBI switch to enter Combination mode,
and select the desired combination. (See “Selecting
Combinations” on page 67.)
As you step through the combinations, you will notice that
the KARMA ON/OFF switch LED is lit for some
combinations.
With these combinations, KARMA will begin playing when
you play the keyboard.
Note: If the Drum Track is on, and Trigger Mode is set to
Wait KBD Trig, the Drum Track will start playing
simultaneously.
Even for other combinations, you can press the KARMA
ON/OFF switch (LED lit) to turn on KARMA.
Adjusting the performance tempo
In the same way as for a program, you can use the TEMPO
knob or the TAP TEMPO switch to adjust the performance
tempo. Changing the tempo will affect the tempo of all
KARMA modules that are operating. (See p.237)
You can’t adjust the performance tempo of each KARMA
module individually.
Checking note-on/off and key zone
The screen shown below is a realtime display of the note
data received from the keyboard, pads 1–8, and MIDI IN,
and the note on/off data generated by KARMA modules A,
B, C, and D, together with the name of the chord that was
detected.
1. Go to the Combination P0: Play– KARMA GE page.
When you play the keyboard, the name of the chord detected
by each KARMA module will appear in the “Chord” field of
KARMA Module Info.
The displayed chord name is the chord that is detected by the
module selected by the front panel MODULE CONTROL
switch. The way in which chords are detected will depend on
the settings of the KARMA module.
The CCs/Notes area shows the status of the control data and
note-on/off data generated by KARMA modules A, B, C,
and D, and the key zone settings of the KARMA modules.
Note: Chord detection is affected by the KARMA module’s
key zone settings (Combination 7–1b), “Transpose”
(Combination 7–3b: Module Parameter-Control), and
Dynamic MIDI “Destination” (Combination 7–8) Chord
Scan and Smart Scan.
