timbre being controlled by the KARMA sliders 1–8 and
KARMA switches. This tells you the timbre whose
phrase is being controlled by the KARMA sliders 1–8
and KARMA switches.
If multiple timbres are being controlled
simultaneously, this will indicate MULTI.
KARMA module “Run” and “Solo” settings
In Combination mode, up to four KARMA modules
can be operating simultaneously.
If the KARMA function is off, all KARMA modules
will be stopped. If the KARMA function is on, the
KARMA module(s) you specify here will operate.
1. Access the Combi P7–1: KARMA1– GE Setup A
page.
2. Use “Run” and “Solo” to specify whether
KARMA module A will sound when KARMA is
on.
KARMA modules whose Run setting is On (checked)
will operate.
If you turn Solo On (checked), only that KARMA
module will sound. This is useful when you are
selecting a GE, or when you want to audition the
phrase that a module is generating.
Modules whose Solo is On (checked) will sound even
if Run is Off (unchecked).
Note: If Run is not shown in the display, it has been
assigned as a performance realtime parameter. Use a
KARMA switch etc. to control the Run parameter. (See
“Perf RTP (Perf Real-Time Parameters)” on page 179)
The Solo setting is cleared when you switch to
another combination. It is not saved when you
write the combination.
3. Use the Combi P7–1: KARMA1– GE Setup B, C,
and D pages to set the “Run” and “Solo” settings
for KARMA modules B, C, and D.
KARMA module MIDI I/O channel settings
The MIDI input/output channel setting for each
KARMA module and the MIDI channel setting of each
timbre together determine how the KARMA modules
will play the timbres.
Use the Combi P7–1: KARMA1– GE SetupA, B, C, and
D pages to set the MIDI I/O. If a KARMA module’s
MIDI output channel matches the MIDI channel of a
timbre, the phrase or pattern generated by that
KARMA module (if it’s operating) will play that
timbre. For details on making these settings, please see
“KARMA function settings in Combination mode” on
page 176. See “7–1–1c: MIDI I/O” on page 162 of the
Parameter Guide.
GE (Generated Effect) selection
Just as for a program, you can use the “GE Select” field
to select the GE used by each module. (See “KARMA
function settings in Combination mode” on page 176)
When you’ve selected a GE, use Tempo to specify the
tempo of the GE’s phrase or pattern.
Use KARMA T.Sig to specify the time signature of the
pattern or phrase generated by the GE. If you select
GE/TS the time signature specified by the GE for each
module will be used; with any other setting, the time
signature of all GEs will change temporarily.
