Sequencer P7: KARMA
Here you can make settings for the KARMA functions
used in Sequencer mode. A Sequencer mode song can
use four KARMA Modules (Modules [A], [B], [C], and
[D]).
In Sequencer mode, you can use the KARMA function
on song tracks or for pattern real-time recording. The
note-on/off and MIDI control data generated by the
KARMA Modules can be recorded as events on a track
or pattern. You can use the KARMA SCENES switches
1-8, KARMA SLIDERS 1-8 and KARMA SWITCHES 1-
8
When playing back a song or pattern, you can use the
KARMA function in real-time on your keyboard
playing, or in conjunction with real-time performance
using the RPPR function
The data from the internal sequencer is not input to
the KARMA Modules. Note data from the internal
sequencer cannot be used as triggers to cause the
KARMA function to generate phrases.
The state of the KARMA ON/OFF switch, KARMA
SLIDERS 1–8, KARMA SWITCHES 1–8, LATCH and
SCENES 1–8 switches, and the note settings/velocity
of the Pad 1–8 can be saved independently for each
song.
By using the page menu command “Copy KARMA
Module,” you can easily copy the KARMA Module
settings of a program or combination. Use this when
you wish to use Sequencer mode to record the
KARMA phrase or pattern of Program mode.
By using the page menu command “Copy From
Combination,” you can copy the entire settings of a
combination, and real-time record a performance that
uses the KARMA function (Multi REC).
By using the Auto Song Setup function (p.414) you
can automatically transfer the settings of a program or
combination into a song, and then begin recording
immediately simply by pressing the START/STOP
switch. If you come up with an inspired phrase or song
idea while using the KARMA function in Program or
Combi Mode, you can immediately convert your
inspiration into a song. The Auto Song Setup function
seamlessly takes you from playing a program or
combination into creating a song.
The tempo of the song and the KARMA function
cannot be set independently.
If MIDI Clock (Global 1–1b) is set to Internal, you can
use the start timing of the internal sequencer to
synchronize the KARMA Module.
If you press the START/STOP switch while the
KARMA function is operating, the KARMA
function will synchronize to the timing of the
sequencer.
If you then press the START/STOP switch again,
the KARMA function will stop playing, as will the
sequencer. If you wish to stop only the KARMA
function, press the KARMA ON/OFF switch.
When MIDI Clock (Global 1–1a) is set to External,
KARMA will play only when MIDI Clock messages
are being received, and stop playing when the Clock
messages stop. For more information, see
“Synchronizing the KARMA function” on page 213
of the Operation Guide.
