Program P7: KARMA 7–5: GE Real-Time Parameters
111
For details on the individual GE Real-Time parameters, 
please see the “KARMA GE guide” on page 893.
MIN (Minimum Value) [–5000…+5000]
This sets the parameter value when the selected 
controller is at its minimum point—for instance, when 
a slider is at the bottom of its throw. Note that you can 
reverse the action of the controller by setting this to be 
higher than the MAX value, below.
The available values will depend on the GE Real-Time 
parameter.
MAX (Maximum Value) [–5000…+5000]
This sets the parameter value when the selected 
controller is at its maximum point—for instance, when 
a slider is at the top of its throw.
The available values will depend on the GE Real-Time 
parameter.
VALUE [–5000…+5000]
This sets the basic value of the GE parameter, which 
corresponds to the center position of the controller. It 
must be within the MIN and MAX values.
ASSIGN [---, Slider1…8, Slider (SW)1…8,
SW1…8, DynaMIDI1…8]
Here you can assign the controller for the GE Real-
Time parameter.
By assigning GE Real-Time Parameter to KARMA 
Real-Time Controls, they can be controlled in real-time 
while you play.
---: No assignment.
Slider1…8: Assign the parameter to KARMA SLIDERS 
1-8. The slider will continuously control the “value.” 
For example, let’s assume that the “Rhythm Swing%” 
parameter of the selected GE is set to a MIN of +0000, 
and a MAX of +0100.
• If you set “Value”: +0050, “Assign”: Slider 1, and 
Polarity:+
Slider 1 at the center position will produce a value 
of +0050. At minimum the value will be +0000, and 
at maximum the value will be +0100. Turning the 
Slider from center toward the minimum will control 
the value from +0050…+0000, and turning it from 
center toward the maximum will control the value 
from +0050…+0100.
• If you set “Value”: +0080, “Assign”: Slider 1, and 
”Polarity”:+
Slider 1 at the center position will produce a value 
of +0080. At minimum the value will be +0000, and 
at far maximum the value will be +0100. Turning the 
slider from center toward the minimum will control 
the value from +0080…+0000, and turning it from 
center toward the maximum will control the value 
from +0080…+0100.
Slider (SW) 1…8: Assign the parameter to KARMA 
SLIDER 1–8. The Slider will switch the value between 
minimum and maximum only. The minimum to center 
range of the Slider is off, and the center to maximum is 
on.
• If you set “Value”: +0050, “Assign”: Slider (SW) 1, 
and Polarity:+
Turning the slider toward the minimum will 
produce a value of +0000. Turning it to center or 
maximum will produce a value of +0100.
SW1…8: The parameter will be assigned to switch 1–8. 
The minimum is off, and the maximum is on.
Note: the correspondence between the KARMA 
SLIDERS, SWITCHES and MIDI control change 
messages can be specified in Global P3-1: 
Controller/Scale, Controller. For SW1…8 and Slider 
(SW) 1…8, a MIDI control change message value of 
less than 64 will be “off,” and 64 or greater will be 
“on.”
DynaMIDI 1…8: This corresponds to Dynamic MIDI 
1…8.
Select this if you wish to control a GE parameter using 
the controller selected for Source in Dynamic MIDI (7–
8). (Set the Dynamic MIDI “Destination” to RTParams 
Control.)
POLARITY [+, –]
This sets the polarity of the selected controller.
+: In the case of Slider 1-8, moving down from the 
center will move the value towards the “Minimum” 
setting, and moving up from the center will move 
towards the “Maximum” setting. In the case of Slider 
(SW) 1-8, the bottom of the slider throw will be 
“Minimum,” and the top will be “Maximum.” In the 
case of SW1-8, the parameter will be “Maximum” 
when the LED is lit.
–: In the case of Slider1-8, moving down from the 
center will move the value towards the “Maximum” 
setting, and moving up from the center will move 
towards the “Minimum” setting. In the case of Slider 
(SW) 1-8, the bottom of the slider throw will be 
“Maximum,” and the top will be “Minimum.” In the 
case of SW1-8, the parameter will be “Maximum” 
when the LED is dark.
