Synchronizing KARMA
Synchronization basics
Synchronization with Wave Sequences
If you want a KARMA module to synchronize with
currently-playing Wave Sequences (“Mode”= Tempo), turn
“Quantize Trig” on (checked) so that it will synchronize to
the selected note interval.
Synchronization with the Drum Track
For information on synchronizing KARMA with the Drum
Track, see “Using KARMA and the Drum Track together”
on page 263.
Synchronization with song start/stop
• While KARMA is running, pressing the START/STOP
switch will synchronize KARMA with the sequencer.
KARMA will be reset, and the phrases or patterns it
generates will start from the beginning.
• While the sequencer is playing and KARMA is stopped,
and you change the location by pressing the LOCATE
switch etc., KARMA will be reset, and the phrases or
patterns it generates will start from the beginning.
• If you then press the START/STOP switch, the
sequencer and KARMA will both stop. If you want to
stop only KARMA, press the (KARMA) ON/OFF
switch.
• If you want KARMA to start the moment recording
begins, press the (KARMA) ON/OFF switch, and then
play the keyboard during the pre-count before recording.
The KARMA modules will not be triggered
immediately, but will be triggered in synchronization
with the sequencer the moment recording starts.
The “Quantize Trigger” parameter
The trigger timing of a KARMA module will depend on the
setting of its “Quantize Trig” (short for “Trigger”)
parameter.
On (checked): The trigger timing of a KARMA module will
be quantized to the selected note interval.
Off (unchecked): The KARMA module will be triggered at
the timing at which you play the keyboard.
For more information, see “Quantize Trigger” on page 121
of the Parameter Guide.
Note: If you want a wave sequence to synchronize to the
currently-playing KARMA, go to the P2: Track Parameters
Wave Sequence/KARMA page and turn “Wave Sequence
Quantize Trigger” on.
Synchronization between KARMA
modules A, B, C, and D
In Combination and Sequencer modes, four KARMA
modules can be running. Each module has a “Quantize Trig”
setting that determines how that module will synchronize
with the other modules.
“Quantize Trig” Off: The KARMA module will be
triggered at the timing at which you play the keyboard.
There will be no synchronization between KARMA
modules; each will be triggered at their own timing.
“Quantize Trig” On: The KARMA module will
synchronize to the selected note interval of the timing the
first-triggered KARMA module that is currently running.
If you want to simultaneously trigger multiple KARMA
modules from the keyboard or pads, turn “Quantize Trig” on
for each of these KARMA modules.
Synchronization with songs, patterns,
and RPPR performance in Sequencer
mode
If you want a KARMA module to play (or be recorded) in
synchronization with the currently-playing song, pattern, or
RPPR, turn “Quantize Trig” on.
“Quantize Trig” Off: The KARMA module will be
triggered at the timing at which you play the keyboard. It
will not synchronize to the currently-playing song, pattern,
or RPPR.
“Quantize Trig” On: The trigger timing of the KARMA
module will be quantized to the selected note interval of the
currently-playing song, pattern, or RPPR.
Note: If you want patterns played by RPPR to synchronize
to the currently-operating KARMA, set “Sync” (Sequencer
P5: Pattern/RPPR– RPPR Setup page) to SEQ.
Note: If you want a wave sequence to synchronize to the
currently-playing song, pattern, RPPR, or the currently-
running KARMA, go to the P2: Track Parameters Wave
Sequence/KARMA page and turn on “Wave Sequence
Quantize Trigger” as well. For more information, see “Wave
Sequence Quantize Trigger” on page 475 of the Parameter
Guide.
