2. Specify the copy-source mode, bank, and number.
If you want to copy the GE realtime parameter
settings and scene settings from the copy-source

Scenes” option (checked).
If you want to copy performance realtime
parameters settings and front panel settings from
the copy-source program, choose the “Perf. RTP &
Panel Settings” option (checked).
If you to copy the pad settings from the copy-source
program, choose the “Pads” option (checked).
3. Press OK to execute the copy, or press Cancel if
you decide to cancel.
Specifying the keyboard zone for the
KARMA function
Here’s how to specify the zone of keys that will trigger
the KARMA function. For example you might make
settings so that the keys at the bottom of the keyboard
will trigger phrases, and keys above this range can be
played normally.
1. Access the Program P7: KARMA– GE Setup/Key
Zones page. (See the diagram in step 1 of
“Selecting a GE”)
2. Use the Key Zones Bottom and Top to specify the
key zone.
Keys you press and note data received from MIDI
IN that falls within this range will be sent to the
KARMA module.
In the example shown above, the notes from C-1
through B3 are being input to the KARMA module.
When you play B3 or a lower note, the KARMA
function will generate a phrase or pattern.
3. If “Thru In Zone” and “Thru Out Zone” are on
(checked), the notes you play on the keyboard will
play in addition to the phrase or pattern generated
by the KARMA function.
These two fields are the settings for inside and
outside the key zone.
You can use “Transpose In Zone” and “Transpose
Out Zone” to transpose the notes played on the
keyboard in semitone steps.
In the example shown above, the B3 and lower keys
will control only the phrase or pattern generated by
the KARMA function, and the C4 and higher keys
will be used for manual playing on the keyboard.
Use “Transpose Out Zone” to adjust the pitch of the
manually-played region.
KARMA module MIDI filtering and CC
offset
1. Access the Program P7: KARMA– MIDI Filter/CC
Offset page.
Receive MIDI Filter
This specifies whether filtering will be applied to
the MIDI control data received by the KARMA
module. If an item is on (checked), the
corresponding data will be received.
When the KARMA function is on, MIDI control data
received by the KARMA module is sent directly to
the tone generator. If this setting is off (unchecked),
that data will not be sent to the tone generator.
In the example shown above, damper pedal
messages are enabled when the KARMA function is
off, and disabled when it is on.
Transmit MIDI filter
This specifies whether filtering will be applied to
the MIDI control data generated by the GE selected
for the KARMA module. If an item is on (checked),
transmission is enabled.
Normally you will leave these items on. If you don’t
want to use the pitch bend or other control change
data generated by the selected GE, turn these items
off (unchecked).
In the example shown above, pitch bend data
generated by the GE will not be transmitted.
CC Offset
Use this if you want to control the effects or the
sound of the program while the KARMA function is
on. For example, you might use this to decrease the
brightness of the sound or raise the resonance of the
sound in conjunction with the phrase that’s being
generated. Alternatively, you might use this to
