Perf RTP (Perf Real-Time Parameters)
Here’s how KARMA parameters such as KARMA key
zone and KARMA module parameters (i.e., KARMA
parameters other than GE realtime parameters) can be
assigned to controllers.
If you’ve assigned these parameters to KARMA
CONTROLS, you’ll be able to control them in realtime
while you perform (see “Control Surface sliders, &
switches” on page 42, and “7–2–2b: Perf RTP 1–2, 3–4,
5–6, 7–8 (Perf Real-Time Parameters)” on page 91 of
the Parameter Guide).
1. Access the Prog P7–2: KARMA2– Perf RTP page.
Use “Perf RTP Select” to switch the performance
realtime parameter display.
As an example, let’s use a KARMA slider to control the
KARMA module parameter Transpose.
2. Use “Group” and “Parameter” to select the
parameter you want to control.
For this example, set Group: Mix, and Param
(Parameter): Transpose. Turn A on (checked) so that
the slider will control KARMA module A.
3. Specify the range and value that you want to
control.
The setting of the parameter will be assigned by
default (–12 in this example), as described under “7–1–
7a: Module Parameter-Control” on page 84 of the
Parameter Guide.
For this example, set Min, Max, and Value to –24, +0,
and –12 respectively.
4. Use Assign to assign the desired controller.
For this example, we’ll assign SL (Slider 1).
5. Use Polarity to specify the polarity of control.
For this example, specify “+”.
When you set CONTROL ASSIGN to KARMA and
operate slider 1, the Transpose setting will change in
semitone steps over a range of –24 to +0, with –12 as
the center value.
Note: If you set Param (Parameter): to Transpose
Octave, the change will occur in steps of one octave
over a range of –24 to +0, with –12 as the center value.
If you select Transpose Octave/5th, the change will
occur in alternating steps of an octave or a fifth, over a
range of –24 to +0 with –12 as the center value. For
example if this parameter is at the Min setting and a C3
note is sounding, moving slider 1 from 000 toward 127
will cause a pitch change of C3
→ G3 → C4 → G4 →
C5.
Dynamic MIDI setting
Dynamic MIDI lets you use an M3 controller or a MIDI
control message to control a specific parameter of the
KARMA function. You can specify up to eight
controllers (Source) and what they will do
(Destination). For details, please see “Dynamic MIDI
Sources & Destinations” on page 601 of the Parameter
Guide.
Naming the KARMA RTC sliders 1–8 and switches
1–8
1. Access the Prog P7–2: KARMA2–Names page.
Here you can select names for the KARMA sliders and
KARMA switches. You can save these settings
independently for each program. The M3 provides
suitable preset names for the KARMA sliders and
KARMA switches.
Note:
Auto Assign RTC Name
An appropriate name for each KARMA sliders and
KARMA switches will be determined based on the GE
RTP or Perf RTP being controlled, and will be assigned
automatically. (See “Auto Assign RTC Name” on
page 117 of the Parameter Guide)
Linking KARMA settings to Program changes
KARMA settings can be saved individually for each
Program. Normally, when you select a new Program,
its KARMA settings will be loaded as well. In some
cases, however, you may wish to try out different
Programs while keeping the KARMA settings the
same.
The Global Basic page Load KARMA when changing
(Global 0–1c) parameters let you select between these
two behaviors. There are separate settings for
Programs, Combinations, and Songs. To set this up:
1. Go to the Global Basic page.
2. Under “Load KARMA setting when changing”, set
the “Programs” check-box as desired.
Check the box to load the individual Programs’
KARMA settings.
Un-check the box to keep KARMA settings the same,
even when changing Programs.
For details, please see “Load KARMA when
changing:” on page 357 of the Parameter Guide.
