Easy KARMA editing
KARMA stands for “Kay Algorithmic Realtime Music
Architecture.” It’s an immensely powerful performance tool,
and can provide a wide range of musical effects including:
• Arpeggiation
• Drum and instrument grooves
• Complex CC gestures (as if it was automatically moving
knobs or joysticks for you)
• Musical phrase generation
• Any combination of the above
• …and much more.
You can control many KARMA parameters directly from the
front panel.
Turning KARMA on and off
The overall control for KARMA is the ON/OFF button. Turn
the button on (LED lit) to enable KARMA; turn the button
off (LED off) to disable KARMA.
LATCH button
When LATCH is turned on, KARMA will continue to play
even after you’ve stopped playing on the keyboard,
drum/chord pads, or MIDI In.
This is convenient when you want to play on top of a
KARMA-generated groove, for instance.
Selecting KARMA Scenes
Each Combi can have up to 8 KARMA “Scenes,” which are
presets for the KARMA parameters. Different Scenes may
produce dramatically different effects. You can select Scenes
directly from the Control Surface:
1. Press the RT KNOBS/KARMA button under
CONTROL ASSIGN.
The Control Surface will switch to Real-Time Knobs and
KARMA mode.
2. Select Scenes by pressing the top row of Control Panel
switches.
Note that not all Combis will necessarily have 8 different
Scenes.
Editing KARMA parameters via the
sliders
You can also edit various KARMA parameters in real time,
using the Control Surface sliders. The specific parameters
will vary depending on the Combi, so it may be helpful to
look at the LCD:
1. Go to the Control Surface tab of the Play page.
2. Press the RT KNOBS/KARMA button under
CONTROL ASSIGN.
The LCD will now show the KARMA parameters assigned
to the sliders and switches.
3. Move the sliders to change the KARMA parameters.
