Overview - What is KARMA? KARMA function settings
209
With the appropriate “ASSIGN” settings, a GE
realtime parameter of (for example) module A can
controlled independently by Master and Module A.
For example you can make settings so that the
Swing parameter of a drum GE on module A is
controlled in MASTER by slider 1 over a range of 0–
50%, and in MODULE A by slider 1 over a range of
50–100%.
Master: 0–50%
Module A: 50–100%
In this case, if you switch MODULE CONTROL
between MASTER and A while using slider 1 to
control the parameter, the parameter will operate in
its last-controlled state. If you set Swing to 0% in
MASTER, and then switch to module A, Swing will
remain at 0% as long as you don’t move slider 1.
However Swing will change once you move slider 1
to control the parameter in the range of 50–100%.
1. Set MODULE CONTROL to MASTER, and set
slider 1 to the minimum position. → “Swing”
operates at 0%.
2. Change MODULE CONTROL to A. → “Swing”
operates at 0%.
3. Move slider 1 to the maximum position. →
“Swing” operates at 100%.
The internal settings are automatically controlled so
that the phrase being generated does not change
abruptly. In the above example when you use
MASTER to set “Swing” to 0% and then switch to
module A, the displayed indication is 50–100% but
the parameter is actually operating at a value of 0%.
In this way, you need to be aware that the displayed
indication may not match the actual result.
Perf RTP (Perf Real-Time Parameters)
In the same way as for a program, KARMA function
parameters other than GE realtime parameters (e.g.,
KARMA module parameters) can also be assigned to
controllers.
These settings are valid when MODULE CONTROL is
set to MASTER.
1. Access the Combination P7: KARMA– Perf Real-
Time Parameters page.
In the same way as for a program, set “Group,”
“Parameter,” “Min,” “Max,” “Value,” “Assign,” and
“Polarity.” In a combination, you can use the four
KARMA modules A, B, C, and D.
Turn on (check) the “A,” “B,” “C,” and/or “D”
boxes to select the module(s) you want to control.
In the above example, KARMA REALTIME
CONTROLS switches 1, 2, 3, and 4 are controlling
the Run/Mute setting of modules A, B, C, and D
respectively.
Dynamic MIDI settings
You can make these settings in the same way as for a
program. For more information, see “Dynamic MIDI
Sources & Destinations” on page 984 of the Parameter
Guide.
Naming the KARMA RTC sliders 1–8 and switches
1–8 for MASTER and module A–D
In the same way as for a program, you can select
names for the KARMA CONTROLS sliders and
KARMA SWITCHES. These settings are saved as part
of the combination.
In a combination, the area in square brackets [ ]
automatically shows a portion of the category name of
the program selected for each timbre controlled by the
KARMA CONTROLS sliders and KARMA
SWITCHES. This lets you know the timbre whose
phrase is being controlled by each KARMA
CONTROLS slider and KARMA SWITCH.
If more than one timbre is being controlled, the area in
square brackets will indicate “MLTI.”
