Using tap tempo
In Program, Combination and Sequencer modes, you
can use the tap tempo function to control the KARMA
tempo. In Sequencer mode you can use this method to
control the song tempo.
During playback, lightly press the TAP TEMPO switch
several times at the desired tempo. The tempo will
follow your tapping in realtime. This is a convenient
way to match the tempo in realtime to the beat of a
different source.
As an example, here’s the procedure for using tap
tempo to set the speed of the KARMA.
1. In Program mode or Combination mode, start the
KARMA function running.
Turn on the KARMA ON/OFF switch, and play a key
or a pad. (If you press the LATCH switch, the KARMA
function will continue playing even after you take your
finger away.)
2. Lightly press the TAP TEMPO switch several
times at the desired tempo.
Notice that the “ =” in the upper right of the LCD
screen will change to indicate the tempo at which you
press the TAP TEMPO switch.
If you press the TAP TEMPO switch at slightly shorter
intervals, the playback tempo will become
correspondingly faster.
You can use tap tempo control whenever the
TEMPO knob can be operated. For example in
Sequencer mode, tap tempo control will not be
available if you are playing a song whose “Tempo
Mode” setting is set to Auto.
Note: You can also use a foot switch connected to the
ASSIGNABLE FOOT SWITCH jack to control the tap
tempo function. For more information, see “Foot
Switch Assignments” on page 981 of the Parameter
Guide.
Resetting controller values
The vector joystick position can be reset to the center,
or the controllers of the control surface can be reset or
switched to stored values.
If you want to reset a controller individually, hold
down the RESET CONTROLS switch and operate the
control surface slider, knob, or switch that you want to
reset. Alternatively, operate the vector joystick.
If you want to reset all of the control surface sliders,
knobs, and switches in a CONTROL ASSIGN unit (a
tab within the Control Surface page) in a single
operation, hold down the RESET CONTROLS switch
and press the corresponding CONTROL ASSIGN
switch. (Solo is an exception. See below.)
Vector Joystick
If you hold down the RESET CONTROLS switch and
move the vector joystick, the vector joystick value will
be reset to the center position. This is convenient when
you’ve operated the joystick and want to return to the
state in which the program or combination was when
you selected it. You can check the position in the vector
graph of each mode (P1– Vector Control, Vector
Envelope).
KARMA MODULE CONTROL switch
The fader, switch, and scene settings of the currently-lit
KARMA module will be reset to the values written in
the program or combination. In Sequencer mode, the
settings will be reset to the values that were in effect
when you entered the mode, selected the song, or
executed Copy From Combi, etc.
SOLO switch
If even one SOLO is On, the SOLO switch will blink.
If you hold down the RESET CONTROLS switch and
press the SOLO switch, all SOLO settings will be reset
to Off.

If you hold down the RESET CONTROLS switch and
operate a MIXER & MODULATION controller (knob,
fader, or switch) or a CONTROL ASSIGN switch
(when the LED is lit), the program or combination will
be reset to the written values. A sequencer song will be
reset to the state in which it was immediately after you
entered the mode, selected the song, or executed Copy
From Combi, etc.
If you operate a MIXER & MODULATION controller
(knob, fader, or switch), only the controller you
operated will be reset.
If you press a CONTROL ASSIGN switch (when the
LED is lit), the values of all corresponding MIXER &
MODULATION controllers will be reset.
