Combi Mode: Tour of KARMA functions

Up to four GE's can be assigned in a Combination; split, layered and velocity switched, for any or all of the eight timbres
available. With up to four KARMA GE's at your control, you can create and perform with Combinations like drum patterns
triggered with bass patterns and guitar strumming phrases, and still use any area of the keyboard you like to play live
parts! And best of all, your Combi can be quickly copied and recorded, with all the KARMA control movements, to the
internal or external sequencer!

Working with a KARMA Combination:

1. Press the COMBI mode key, and then select Combination E001 Bass&WhirlySplit.
2. To get an idea of how this Combi sounds, trigger the KARMA function by using the CHORD TRIGGERS or keyboard,
then press the SCENE key to hear how the KARMA Realtime controls have been programmed for Scene 2.
3. Press [F5] to display the KARMA K.RTC tab ç As you play, work with the KARMA Realtime controls to vary
parameters like Rhythm Complexity, Swing, Kick and Snare Level and Sound, etc. After you've spent some time

Although we won't cover all of the pages and parameters accessible in this section, you should find the following brief
descriptions helpful in understanding the KARMA functions. For more information, see the great KARMA Owner's Manuals,
and stay tuned for upcoming tutorials and tips!
KARMA Play mode tabs:
1. Press [F4] (KARMA) to view the KARMA tab. Here, you can view and assign new GE's to the four KARMA modules
(A-D), as well as setting Run and Solo status for each module. GE Select by Category is also available via the [F8]
(UTILITY) popup menu. Note by the Run status shown, that this Combi is only using one KARMA module.
Note:
In certain Programs and Combinations the Run Status will be "greyed" out This means that a controller is being routed to turn
on and off the GE using Dynamic MIDI control. Most times this will be the joystick, so try the X and Y axis's to hear this cool
effect!
2. Press [F6] (Note) to view the Note Activity tab. Here you can see a graphic representation of KARMA modules A-D
zone and note indicators, and when KARMA is running, you'll see the actual chords as they are played or CHORD
TRIGGERED. As in all play mode KARMA tabs, the programmed Tempo can be viewed and accessed as well.
KARMA Edit Pages:
1. Press the MENU key ç Press [F6] 1x to highlight KARM, and then press [F8] ç Press [F1] (Setup). This tab once
again indicates the GE setup and Run/Solo status for each module A-D, but in this edit page, you can now access the
Copy and Init KARMA Module parameters (located within UTILITY/ [F8]).
2. Press [F2] (MIDI I/O) to view the MIDI Input/Output settings for this Combi. Note the left column A-D modules, and
the MIDI Input and Output Channel assignments. Also note that for this Combi, module A is set for Gch (Global

indicates that Timbre 4 is the destination timbre for this assignment. The Timbre Thru boxes let you set each module
