KARMA Function
K.RTC (KARMA RealTime Controls)
System version 2.0 adds a value display function to the
K.RTC (KARMA Realtime Controls) page of each mode.
K.RTC (KARMA Realtime Controls) appears in the
following pages.
Program mode PROG 1.1-4 ( ☞ PG p.6)
Combination mode COMBI 1.1-5 ( ☞ PG p.48)
Sequencer mode SEQ 1.1-7 ( ☞ PG p.77)
Song Play mode S.PLAY 1.1-7 ( ☞ PG p.118)
The display in Combination mode
K.RTC (KARMA Realtime Controls) value display function
When you operate the KARMA REALTIME CONTROLS
knobs or switches, the number and value of the GE param-
eter or RT parameter you are controlling will be displayed.
This lets you see which parameter is being controlled by the
knob or switch, and how. After two seconds, this display
will revert to the KARMA RTC Name display.
Display example
Module ID
Parameter No.
Parameter Value
Module ID [A…D, P]
Indicates which parameters what you are controlling from
the KARMA REALTIME CONTROLS knob or switch.
A, B, C, D: Indicates the KARMA module that is being
controlled. (In Program mode, this will always display A.)
In this case, you are controlling a GE parameter.
P: Indicates that the knob or switch is controlling an RT
parameter.
Parameter No. [01...16]
When “Module Name” is A–D (KARMA module), this area
indicates the GE parameter number 01–16 that you are
controlling (displayed in pages 6.3-1–4
☞PG p.32). If
“Module Name” is P, this area indicates the RT parameter
number 01–08 (shown as 1–8 in pages 6.4-1–2) that you are
controlling (displayed in pages 6.4-1–2
☞PG p.34).
Parameter Value
This area indicates the value of the GE parameter or RT
parameter you are controlling. The value will change as
you turn the knob.
A knob or switch can have multiple parameters
assigned to it. A maximum of three assigned param-
eters can be displayed here in the available space. If
there are more, they will not be displayed, although
they will still function when the control is activated.
TxFltr (TxFilter)
System version 2.0 adds a “Notes” parameter to the
KARMA TxFltr (TxFilter) page in each mode.
The “Notes” parameter appears in the following pages.
Program mode PROG 6.1-4a ( ☞ PG p.28)
Combination mode COMBI 6.1-6a ( ☞ PG p.60)
Sequencer mode SEQ 6.1-6a ( ☞ PG p.107)
Song Play mode S.PLAY 6.1-6a ( ☞ PG p.125)
The display in Program mode
Notes [Off, On]
Specifies whether the MIDI note-on/note-off messages
generated by the KARMA module will be transmitted.
This setting lets you mute the note phrases generated
by the KARMA module, and use only the control data
generated from the KARMA module (e.g., pan, filter
cutoff, resonance) to apply modulation to phrases or
chords you yourself play on the keyboard.
Due to the addition of the “Notes” parameter, the other
parameter names displayed in the screen have changed as
follows. (Refer to the display above.)
GE Bend → Bend GE CC-A → CC-A GE CC-B → CC-B
GE Env1 → Env1 GE Env2 → Env2 GE Env3 → Env3
Freeze Randomize
System version 2.0 adds a 6.2-3: Parm3 (Parameter 3) page
and Freeze Randomize function following the 6.2-2: Parm2
page of each mode.
The Parm3 (Parameter 3) page is displayed after the
following pages.
Program mode PROG 6.2-2 ( ☞ PG p.31–32)
Combination mode COMBI 6.2-2 ( ☞ PG p.61–62)
Sequencer mode SEQ 6.2-2 ( ☞ PG p.108–109)
Song Play mode S.PLAY 6.2-2 ( ☞ PG p.126–127)
6.2–3: Parm3 (Parameter3)
You can freeze (capture) the endlessly varying phrases
generated by KARMA’s randomize function. By using the
“Random Capture” (
☞p.9), “Start Seed” (6.2-3a), and “Freeze
Loop Length” (6.2-2a) parameters in conjunction with the
“Random FF/REW” function, you can loop a randomly
changing phrase, or play the same phrase each time you
trigger it. These capabilities are collectively called Freeze
Randomize
. You can also store a Program or Combination
with these settings, so that it will always play the same
randomized phrase or pattern when you first call it up.
Not all GEs have been programmed to utilize the
KARMA function’s randomization capabilities. If no
randomization has been programmed as part of the
GE, changing these new parameters will appear to
have no effect.
