KARMA CONTROLS
These are front panel controls used to control the
KARMA function. The settings of these controls can be
saved independently for each Program, Combination,
and Song (see page 140, and page 142).
ON/OFF switch
This switches the KARMA function on/off.
LATCH switch
If this is on, the phrase or pattern will continue playing
even after you remove your hand from the keyboard or
pads 1–8.
MODULE CONTROL switch
In Combination or Sequencer mode, this selects the
module that will be controlled by the KARMA sliders
1–8, KARMA switch (SWITCHES) 1–8, and KARMA
SCENE 1–8 switches.
MASTER: Choose this setting if you want to control
modules A, B, C, and D simultaneously. For example,
this lets you use KARMA slider 1 to control the GE
realtime parameter Swing for all modules A, B, C, and
D.
A, B, C, D: Choose one of these settings if you want to
control the corresponding module individually.
Note: In Program mode only MASTER can be selected,
and module A will be controlled.
KARMA Slider 1–8 (SLIDERS 1–8)
KARMA Switch 1–8 (SWITCHES 1–8)
When CONTROL ASSIGN is set to KARMA, these
control the KARMA module(s) selected by MODULE
CONTROL.
By operating these controls, you can adjust GE realtime
parameters and KARMA module parameters to freely
vary the phrases or patterns generated by the KARMA
module. (Use “P7: KARMA–GE RTP page, Perf RTP”
to specify the parameter that each control will affect.)
KARMA SCENE 1–8
These switches let you store the settings of sliders 1–8
and KARMA switches 1–8 as eight different “scenes”
(KARMA SCENE 1–8). In Combination or Sequencer
modes, scenes can store separate settings for each
module, and you can use the MODULE CONTROL
switch and the Scene Matrix function to control this.
For details, please see “7–1–7a: Module Control Scene
Matrix” on page 165 of the Parameter Guide.
PAD MODE switch
This selects either VEL. SENS (velocity sensitive) in
which the force at which you strike a pad will affect the
loudness of the sound, or VEL. FIXED (velocity fixed)
in which the fixed velocity value you specify in the
Pads 1–4/5–8 Setup page will always be used.
CHORD ASSIGN switch
Use this to assign individual notes or multiple notes
such as chords to each pad 1–8 (See page 44).
Pads 1–8
Pads 1–8 are velocity-sensitive pads that respond to the
force with which you press them. When you press a
pad, the assign note or chord (up to eight notes with a
velocity setting) will play. You can use the pads in
many ways, such as using them to play drum sounds,
to trigger sampled sounds, or as chord pads to trigger
the KARMA function.
In the pre-loaded programs and combinations, the
pads are assigned effective chords. You can use the
CHORD ASSIGN switch to easily assign your own
chords.
