KARMA GE guide
controlled by the Tempo Envelope. This means that the
envelope is in absolute control of the tempo, and changing
the KARMA Tempo has no effect.
2: [TR] Tempo-Relative
Controls the speed of the Riff, for accelerando and ritard
effects. When active, the effect does not sync to Internal or
External MIDI Clock, but runs on its own clock, controlled
by the Tempo Envelope. However, this option takes into
account the KARMA Tempo, so if the tempo is slower the
Tempo Range of the envelope will also be slower. Note that
this does not mean the time over which the envelope
operates, which is a different option discussed below under
the "Tempo Relative" parameter (p.1081).
3: [PB] Pitch Bend
Controls an overall pitch bend on the entire effect. Note that
the overall range of the Pitch Bend can be set in either the
Bend Group.
4: [DU] Duration
Controls an overall shortening of durations of generated
notes. In other words, the normal calculated duration of the
note becomes the maximum duration length, and the shape
of the envelope scales the durations between 0–100% of the
minimum duration length and that value. The minimum and
maximum duration values depend on the "Duration Mode"
setting in the Duration Group. For more information, see
"Duration Group" on page 1061.
5: [RT] Repeat Time
Controls an overall shortening of the repeat time that is
selected for use in the Melodic Repeat Group. In other
words, the normal calculated repeat time becomes the
maximum time, and the shape of the envelope scales the
repeat time between 0–100% of 1 ms and that value. For
example, if the Repeat Rhythm Value was set to a 16th note
at 120 BPM, the repeat time would be 125 ms for each note.
A Repeat Time Envelope would vary the envelope's range of
0–99 between 1 ms and 125 ms. This can provide interesting
"bouncing" delay effects with repeats of the same pitch on
drum and perc sounds, among other unique effects.
Poly Extend, Poly Extend/Damped, Mono Extend:
The Duration Envelope only affects notes that have
durations shorter than the current Rhythm Pattern value (as
specified by the Duration Pattern Grid), since the other notes
will be auto-extending to the next note or next occurrence of
the same note. For the shorter notes, the length of the
Duration Pattern Value represents the maximum duration,
and the envelope's 0–99 range represents 0–100% of that
value, with 1 ms being the minimum duration. To adjust the
minimum duration, you would adjust the envelope's level
settings to only move between the higher values, i.e. 50–99.
Timed
The Duration Value represents the maximum duration in
milliseconds, and the envelope's 0–99 range represents
0~100% of that value. For example, if the Duration Value
field is set to 250 ms, then the envelope shapes the durations
from 1 ms to 250 ms over its 0–99 range. To make the
durations go from 125 ms to 250 ms, you would adjust the
envelope's level settings so that it moves from 50–99 (50%–
100%).
1080
(Duration Value range: 1...5000 ms)
Rhythm Overlap, Pattern Overlap
(Duration Value range: –500...500 ms)
The Duration Value represents the maximum overlap or gap
(in milliseconds) between successive notes, and the
envelope's 0–99 range represents 0–100% of that value. For
example, if the Duration Value field is set to +20, then the
envelope shapes the durations from -500 ms to +20 ms over
its 0–99 range. To adjust the minimum duration, you would
adjust the envelope's level settings to only move between the
higher values, i.e. 50–99.
Rhythm %, Pattern %
(Duration Value range: 1...800%)
The Duration Value represents the maximum percentage of
the current Rhythm Pattern Value, and the envelope's 0–99
range represents 0–100% of that value. For example, if the
Duration Value field is set to 50%, then the envelope shapes
the durations from 1% to 50% of the Rhythm Pattern Value
over its 0–99 range. To make the durations go from 25% to
50%, you would adjust the envelope's level settings so that
it moves from 50–99 (50%–100%).
7...100: [#00...#95] CCs (Control Change)
Send the selected CC value according to the shape of the
envelope - the envelope's range of 0–99 is scaled into 0–127
and sent as the selected controller. This is especially useful
when you loop the envelopes to get slow, sweeping LFO
effects, for controlling various tone generation
characteristics on synthesizers and effects devices that
support this type of control. Note that for looping to work,
you must set the Loop On and Envelope Latch modes
("Envelope1, Envelope2, Envelope3" on page 122) properly
- see the "Loop Mode" parameter below.
The following Level and Time parameters may also be
controlled in various combinations by parameters discussed
later on in this section.
Start Level
The level at which the envelope begins when triggered.
Attack Time
The time it will take to reach the "Attack Lvl (Attack
Level)." This is a portion of the overall time setting specified
in the "Time Scale" parameter described below.
Attack Level
The first level which the envelope reaches in the amount of
time specified by "Attack Time."
Decay Time
The time it will take to reach the "Sustain Lev (Sustain
Level)" from the Attack Level. This is a portion of the
overall time setting specified in the "Time Scale" parameter
described below.
Sustain Level
The second level which the envelope reaches in the amount
of time specified by "Decay Time." The envelope will
remain at this level until the keys depressed on the keyboard
are released, or some other function causes the envelope to
enter the Release Phase.
Release Time
The time it will take to reach the "Rel. Level (Release
Level)" once the Release Phase is triggered. This is a portion
of the overall time setting specified in the "Time Scale"
parameter described below.
