2. Access the Seq P7–1: KARMA1– GE Setup A page.
Make MIDI I/O settings for the KARMA modules so
that KARMA module A will play track 1 (See
“KARMA function settings in Combination mode” on
page 176).
For KARMA module A, set the In (Input Channel) and
Out (Output Channel)
to 01 and 01 respectively.
Setting them to Tch and Tch will have the same result.
For details, please see “7–1–1c: MIDI I/O” on page 244
of the Parameter Guide.
As specified by the MIDI track’s MIDI Channel setting
and the KARMA module’s Out Channel setting, the
MIDI track played by the KARMA module is
displayed in red.
3. Select a GE for KARMA module A, and set its
parameters.
You are free to select a GE and make settings as
desired, but in this example we’ll use the Copy
KARMA Module
menu command to copy all of the
program’s KARMA function settings. This is an easy
way to set up and record the phrase or pattern that the
program’s KARMA function is generating.
1. Use the menu button located in the top left of the
display to open the menu, and choose Copy
KARMA Module.
Specify the copy-source program. Turn on (check) GE
RTP Control & Scenes
and Perf. RTP & Panel
Settings . Press OK to execute the copy.
The settings of the KARMA sliders, KARMA switches,
and scenes will be copied to Module Control A.
2. Press the KARMA ON/OFF switch to turn on the
KARMA function.
When you play the keyboard, the KARMA function
will generate a drum pattern just as it did for the
program.
3. Use the SEQUENCER REC/WRITE switch and the
START/STOP switch to realtime-record on track 1.
(See “Recording MIDI in real-time” on page 85)
You can operate the KARMA sliders/switches and the
SCENE switches while recording, and the changes in
the pattern or sound that occur will be recorded just as
they occur.
The song tempo and the KARMA function tempo
cannot be set independently.
4. If you want the KARMA module to be in
synchronization with the sequencer during
recording, check the Quantize Trigger option.
Access the Seq P7–2: KARMA2– Trigger A page.
The trigger timing will be synchronized to sixteenth-
note intervals of the sequencer beat. (See
“Synchronizing the KARMA function” on page 182)
5. You can synchronize the KARMA module to the
start timing of the sequencer.
• While KARMA is running, press the START/STOP
switch; the KARMA function will synchronize to
the synthesizer timing.
• If you again press the START/STOP switch, the
sequencer and the KARMA function will both stop.
If you want to stop only the KARMA function,
press the (KARMA) ON/OFF switch to turn it off.
• If you want the KARMA function to start at the
moment recording begins, press the (KARMA)
ON/OFF switch to turn it on, and then play the
keyboard during the pre-count before recording.
The KARMA module will not be triggered
immediately, but will be triggered in
synchronization with the sequencer when
recording begins. (See “Synchronizing the KARMA
function” on page 182)
Realtime multi-track recording using set-
tings copied from a combination
The pre-loaded combinations include a diverse array
of combinations that take full advantage of the
KARMA function. You can play these combinations to
stimulate ideas for songs, and record your playing to
create basic tracks. Many of these combinations consist
of timbres and KARMA modules with differing MIDI
channel settings.
In the example below, we’ll show how you can use
multi-track recording to record a performance
consisting of multiple MIDI channels.
1. We’ll start by copying the settings of a
combination into a song. Access the Seq P0–1:
Play/REC– Program T01–08 page.
2. In the upper left of the display, press the menu
button to open the menu, and choose Copy From
Combi.
