Setting KARMA’s keyboard zone
Here’s how to specify the zone of keys that will trigger
KARMA. For example you might make settings so that the
keys at the bottom of the keyboard will trigger phrases, and
keys above this range can be played normally.
1. Go to the Program P7: KARMA– GE Setup/Key
Zones page. (See the diagram in step 1 of “Selecting a
GE”)
2. Use the Key Zones Bottom and Top to specify the key
zone.
Any notes that fall within this range—including both playing
on the local keyboard and notes received from MIDI IN—
will be sent to the KARMA module.
In the example shown above, the notes from C-1 through B3
are being input to the KARMA module. When you play B3
or a lower note, KARMA will generate a phrase or pattern.
3. If “Thru In Zone” and “Thru Out Zone” are on
(checked), the notes you play on the keyboard will
play in addition to the phrase or pattern generated by
KARMA.
These two fields are the settings for inside and outside the
key zone.
You can use “Transpose In Zone” and “Transpose Out Zone”
to transpose the notes played on the keyboard in semitone
steps.
In the example shown above, the B3 and lower keys will
control only the phrase or pattern generated by KARMA,
and the C4 and higher keys will be used for manual playing
on the keyboard. Use “Transpose Out Zone” to adjust the
pitch of the manually-played region.
KARMA module MIDI filtering and CC
offset
1. Go to the Program P7: KARMA– MIDI Filter/CC
Offset page.
Receive MIDI Filter
This specifies whether filtering will be applied to the MIDI
control data received by the KARMA module. If an item is
on (checked), the corresponding data will be received.
When KARMA is on, MIDI control data received by the
KARMA module is sent directly to the tone generator. If this
setting is off (unchecked), that data will not be sent to the
tone generator.
In the example shown above, damper pedal messages are
enabled when KARMA is off, and disabled when it is on.
Transmit MIDI filter
This specifies whether filtering will be applied to the MIDI
control data generated by the GE selected for the KARMA
module. If an item is on (checked), transmission is enabled.
Normally you will leave these items on. If you don’t want to
use the pitch bend or other control change data generated by
the selected GE, turn these items off (unchecked).
In the example shown above, pitch bend data generated by
the GE will not be transmitted.
CC Offset
Use this if you want to control the effects or the sound of the
program while KARMA is on. For example, you might use
this to decrease the brightness of the sound or raise the
resonance of the sound in conjunction with the phrase that’s
being generated. Alternatively, you might use this to control
effects, for example by turning on a delay effect in
conjunction with a generated phrase.
Use “CC Number” to specify the MIDI control change
number. Choose one of the CC numbers in the 70’s which
control the sound, or an AMS or Dmod source (see “7–2c:
CC Offset” on page 115 of the Parameter Guide).
In the example shown in the preceding page, CC#74 and
CC#71 are controlling filter cutoff and resonance level.
KARMA module parameters
In the Program P7: KARMA– Module Parameters-Control
and Trigger pages you can edit KARMA module parameters.
