Checking note-on/off and key zone
The screenshot shown below is a realtime display of
the note data received from the keyboard, pads 1–8,
and MIDI IN or USB B, and the note on/off data
generated by KARMA modules A, B, C, and D,
together with the name of the chord that was detected.
1. Access the Combi P0: Play– KARMA RTC page.
When you play the keyboard or strike a pad 1–8, the
name of the chord detected by each KARMA module
will appear in the “Chord” field of KARMA Module
Info.
The displayed chord name is the chord that is detected
by the module selected by the front panel MODULE
CONTROL switch. The way in which chords are
detected will depend on the settings of the KARMA
module.
The CC/Notes area shows the status of the control
data and note-on/off data generated by KARMA
modules A, B, C, and D, and the key zone settings of
the KARMA modules.
Note: Chord detection is affected by the KARMA
module’s key zone settings (see “7–1–1b: GE Setup” on
page 161 of the Parameter Guide), Transpose (see “7–
2–1a: Module Parameter-Control” on page 169 of the
Parameter Guide), and Dynamic MIDI Destination
(Combi 7–4–2) Chord Scan and Smart Scan. (See PG
page 604)
Using the KARMA controllers
You can operate the KARMA controllers to control the
phrase or pattern generated by each KARMA module.
In Combination mode, you can choose the KARMA
module that you want to control.
Note: The state of the KARMA controllers is saved
when you write the combination.
1. Access the Combi P0: Play– KARMA RTC page.
The lower part of the display shows the names of the
sliders and switches that are assigned in this
combination.
In the pre-loaded combinations, the KARMA sliders
and KARMA switches have already been assigned.
2. Press the CONTROL ASSIGN KARMA switch.
Sliders 1–8 and switches 1–8 of the control surface will
operate as KARMA sliders and KARMA switches.
3. Use the front panel MODULE CONTROL switch
to select the module that you want to control.
If you select MASTER, you will be controlling all four
KARMA modules simultaneously.
If you select A–D, you will be controlling the
corresponding KARMA module.
4. Operate the front panel KARMA sliders 1–8 and
KARMA switches 1–8.
The sliders and switches will control the pattern or
phrase generated by the KARMA module selected by
the MODULE CONTROL switch. If you’ve selected
MASTER, you’ll be able to control the module on/off
status and vary the patterns and phrases generated by
all of the KARMA modules.
You can also operate the sliders and switches in the
display or using the VALUE controller, just as in
Program mode.
The KARMA module and the type or value of the
parameter being controlled by the sliders and switches
is shown in the KARMA Module Info “KARMA
Value” field. This lets you see the KARMA module and
parameters that are being affected by your slider or
switch operations.
5. Use the front panel KARMA SCENE 1/5–4/8
switches to choose a scene.
When you press the CONTROL ASSIGN KARMA
switch, the 1–4 or 5–8 LED will light to indicate the
candidates for the next selection. Then when you press
the 1/5–4/8 switch, the corresponding KARMA scene
will be selected.
When you switch scenes, the scene will change for the
KARMA module selected by the MODULE CONTROL
switch.
If Module Control is set to MASTER, each KARMA
module will change to the scene that is saved as the
master setting.
Each of the eight scenes contains the values of KARMA
sliders and KARMA switches. By pressing one of the
KARMA SCENE 1/5–4/8 switches (and the
CONTROL ASSIGN KARMA switch) to choose a
scene, you can instantly recall settings for the eight
sliders and eight switches.
Even if you switch scenes, the changes you make using
KARMA sliders 1–8 and KARMA switches 1–8 are
remembered until you select another combination.
When you write a combination, your slider and switch
settings are saved in the respective scene 1–8.
Name display for the KARMA sliders 1–8 and KAR-
MA switches 1–8
Just as in the equivalent page of Program mode, the
Combi P0: Play– KARMA RTC page displays the
sliders and switches assigned to the combination, and
their names.
In the combination, the name shown in square brackets
[ ] is the category of the program selected for the
