KARMA GE guide
0: Off
Nothing is done. The note(s) remain sustained, even if they
are "wrong."
1: Bend/Retrigger
If only one Direct Index note is being sustained, it is bent
(with pitch bend) down to the nearest pitch in the new Note
Series (if it is no longer present in the Note Series). If more
than one note is being sustained, they will all be changed to
the nearest notes in the new Note Series and retriggered. If
several are sustained, and only one is "incorrect," they will
all be retriggered.
2: Retrigger
All sustaining Direct Index notes will be changed to the
nearest notes in the new Note Series and retriggered. If
several are sustained, and only one is "incorrect," they will
all be retriggered.
3: Mute
Any sustaining Direct Index notes not present in the new
Note Series will be shut off.
Transpose
Transposes the pitch of the Direct Indexing notes as they are
selected from the Note Series. This separate setting allows
you to choose the octave for Direct Indexing independent of
where the rest of the current GE is designed to work. Note
that this is completely separate from the "Transpose" setting
in the KARMA module parameters, so changing the octave
there will have no effect on Direct Indexing.
Duration Parameters
The parameters in this section affect the durations of the
Direct Index notes. You can be in control of them yourself
from the keyboard, or select several different options for
automatically generating the durations.
Duration Control
Determines whether the durations of the Direct Index notes
will be controlled by the other parameters in this section, or
by the user (through the controller doing the Direct
Indexing). The notes that may be generated normally by the
GE are still independently controlled by the settings in the
Duration Group.
0: GE
1: Kbd-Poly
0: GE
Direct Index notes will have the duration specified by the
other two parameters in this section, the "Duration Mode"
and the "Duration ms" (if applicable). The actual duration of
the controller keys are not taken into account. For example,
you might set up an effect with a short duration which then
uses Melodic Repeat to generate further notes; setting this to
"GE" ensures that the user's release of a key has no effect on
the actual durations.
1: Kbd-Poly
Direct Index notes will have the actual duration of the
controller keys - pressing a key starts a note and releasing it
ends a note. The "Duration Mode" and "Duration ms"
become unavailable. This allows the user to control the
duration, especially useful for simulating soloing. The
controller will act polyphonically - multiple notes can be
played and held down simultaneously.

2: Kbd-Mono
Vel. Sensitivity (Kbd) [1...127 – bottom of range]
Specifies the lower limit of a scaled velocity range ('n' to
127). Triggers being provided by a velocity sensitive
controller will be scaled according to this before being
applied to the Note Series. This controls the velocities of the
Direct Index notes as they are generated. For example, if the
value is 1, then the velocities would be exactly as played
with an unmodified range of 1–127 (full sensitivity). If the
value is 64, the velocities would be half as sensitive, because
any velocity received from 1–127 will be scaled into the
range of 64– 127. Note that if the controller is a CC such as a
joystick, there is no velocity associated with moving it, so
the last received keyboard velocity is used, or a default.
Vel. Offset (CCs)
When a CC such as a joystick or ribbon is being used as a
Direct Index controller, there is no velocity associated with
moving it, so the last received keyboard velocity is used, or a
default. Velocity Offset (CCs) specifies an amount by which
the velocity of the indexed notes will be offset from the GE's
internal velocity setting. This allows you to make them a bit
softer or louder than generated notes from the same GE, for
example. The value is a percentage of the initial velocity, so
values less than 100 will produce softer indexed notes,
while values greater than 100 will produce louder notes. A
value of 0% will effectively stop the generation of indexed
notes.
2: Kbd-Mono
Same as 1: Kbd - Poly above, except the keys act
monophonically - you cannot play more than one note at a
time. Useful for certain types of simulations such as
saxophone and synthesizer solos.
Duration Mode
0: Poly Extend
1: Poly Extend/Damped
Selects one of several modes of operation for controlling
durations of the Direct Index notes, when the "Duration
Control" parameter is set to 0: GE.
0: Poly Extend
Each note will sustain until the next generation of the same
note, or until that note is no longer a part of the Note Series
(caused by playing a new chord, for example). For example,
if the notes to a CMaj chord are sustaining and the chord is
changed to a CMinor, only the Es will be shut off.
1: Poly Extend/Damped
The same as above, except all sustaining notes will be
damped when the chord changes, not just notes that are no
longer in the Note Series.
2: Mono Extend
Each note is sustained until the next note (of any pitch) is
generated.
