Program P7: KARMA 7–1: GE Setup/Key Zones

Load GE Options [Dialogue]
These options let you specify whether the values and
assignments for the KARMA SLIDERS and
SWITCHES will be set automatically, be initialized, or
be preserved when you select a GE.
For a detailed description of this parameter, please see
“Load GE Options” on page 7.
KARMA T.Sig (Time Signature)
[GE/TS, 1/4…16/4, 1/8…16/8, 1/16…16/16]
This specifies the time signature of the phrases or
patterns generated by the KARMA Modules. The
internal time signature of the phrase or pattern is
determined by the GE, but you can set this parameter
to change the time signature.
GE/TS: The initial time signature specified by each
KARMA Module will be used.
1/4…16/16: Specify the desired time signature. In
Combination and Sequencer modes, this will change
the time signature for all four KARMA Modules.
GE Setup
GE Category Select [Arpeggio…Real-Time]
This lets you select a GE by category, from Arpeggio
through Real-Time. For more information, please see
“0–6b: GE Select” on page 8.
GE Select [0000: Arp Model 01 Up/Dn…
2047: Tempo Env Repeats]
This selects the Module’s GE, from among the 2048
presets. For more information, please see “0–6b: GE
Select” on page 8.
RTC Model [List of RTC Models]
This shows the GE’s RTC Model, as specified internally
for each preset GE. For more information, see “RTC
Model” on page 194 of the Operation Guide.
Key Zone
The KARMA Module is controlled by input note data
in numerous ways, including the variation of phrase or
pattern produced by the GE, by trigger, and by chord
detection.
Here you can specify the range of note data (Key Zone)
that will control the KARMA Module.
Note: within the Key Zone specified Bottom and Top
Values will be input into the KARMA function, while
notes outside the Key Zone may be used for other
functions, or echoed thru.
Note: In Program mode, all MIDI data for the KARMA
Module is transmitted and received on the Global
MIDI channel (Global 2–1).
Bottom (Key Zone Bottom) [C–1…G9]
Specifies the bottom key (lower limit) of the Key Zone.
Top (Key Zone Top) [C–1…G9]
Specifies the top key (upper limit) of the Key Zone.
Note: These parameters can also be set by holding
down the Enter switch and pressing a note.
Thru In Zone [Off, On]
On (checked): Note data from keys within the Key
Zone will be input to the KARMA Module, and will
also be input directly to the tone generator.
When you play a key within the Key Zone, the phrase
or pattern generated by the KARMA Module will
sound, as will the note itself.
Off (unchecked): Only the phrase or pattern generated
by KARMA will sound. Keys played within the Key
Zone will not sound.
Transpose In Zone [–36…+36]
Specifies the transpose setting applied to note data
from within the Key Zone.
Make this setting if you wish to apply a transposition
in semitone steps to the pitch of notes played from the
keyboard when “Thru In Zone” is On (checked).
Thru Out Zone [Off, On]
On (checked): Note data from keys outside the Key
Zone will be input directly to the tone generator. (They
will not be input to the KARMA Module, since they are
outside the key zone.) When you play keys outside the
key zone, the tone generator will sound.
Off (unchecked): The tone generator will not sound
even if you play keys outside the Key Zone.
Transpose Out Zone [–36…+36]
Specifies the transpose setting applied to note data
from keys outside the Key Zone.
Make this setting if you wish to apply a transposition
in semitone steps to the pitch of notes played
conventionally from the keyboard when “Thru Out
Zone” is On (checked).
You could select a bass program and make the settings
shown below.
Example
Using the KARMA Module to control the bass line in
the lower range of the keyboard, and playing in real-
time in the upper range.
Module Zone Display
A solid blue (green while you’re editing the key zone)
line indicates the specified Key Zone.
Notes and messages from the MIDI IN connector
within this zone will be input to the KARMA Module.
