Mdl Pause (Module Pause)
Controls KARMA module pause.
Operating the selected source controller when the KARMA
function is operating will pause the KARMA module.
When the KARMA module parameter "Run Check Box"
(COMBI/SEQ/S.PLAY 6.1–1b) is turned Off (unchecked),
the KARMA module will continue operating internally
without pausing. This means that when "Run Check Box" is
turned On (checked), the phrase or pattern will not resume
from where the phrase or pattern had stopped, bur rather
the phrase or pattern will continue playing from the
moment at which the setting was turned On. In contrast,
Dynamic MIDI Mdl Pause makes the phrase or pattern
resume playing from where it was stopped.
Example
Move the joystick in the +Y direction to pause and then
resume the phrase produced by the currently-operating
KARMA module.
Settings (Program mode)
"Dyn1 Source" JS+Y #01
"Dyn1 Range-Btm/Top": 000/127
"Dyn1 Act (Src Action)": M
"Dyn1 Destination": Mdl Pause
"Dyn1 Pol (Polarity)": +
When you move the joystick all the way in the +Y direction,
the phrase will pause. When you return the joystick to the
center, the phrase will resume playing.
Repeat Stop (Melodic Repeat Stop)
Control "Melodic Repeat" for the notes generated by the
KARMA module. This is valid only when the GE selected by
the KARMA module uses the "Melodic Repeat" function.
Example
Some GEs (but not all of them) utilize "Melodic Repeat" to
generate additional repeated notes from the notes that are
generated. The repeated notes created by "Melodic Repeat"
will normally continue playing their specified number fo
repeats even when you turn off the KARMA [ON/Off] key.
If you want the repeated notes to stop immediately when
you turn the KARMA function off, use the KARMA [ON/
OFF] key to control Repeat Stop.
Settings (Program mode)
"Dyn1 Source" KARM OnOff (6.4–3a/b/c/d)
"Dyn1 Range-Btm/Top": 000/127
"Dyn1 Act (Src Action)": M
"Dyn1 Destination": Repeat Stop
"Dyn1 Pol (Polarity)": –
Chord Scan
Control the chord analysis that controls the phrase or pat-
tern generated by the KARMA module.
Normally, each KARMA module detects chords by notes
that are input in the key zone (PROG 6.1–2, COMBI/SEQ/
S.PLAY 6.1–3) specified for each module. Instead of this key
zone, you can control chord detection using the note range
specified by the "Range-Btm/Top" (6.4–3a/b/c/d) of the
source.
[M, T]
Chord analysis affects the operation of the following GE
parameters. ( GE Guide)
• "Note Series: Chord Shift"
• "Note Series: Note Type Scalic or Note Type Scalic 2"
• "Note Series: Filter Notes"
• "Repeat: Chord Shift"
• "Drum: NTT (Note Table Transposition) On/Off"
For KARMA modules affected by the Chord Scan spec-
ified here, the key zone note input specified for each
module will not be used for chord detection on that
module.
Select the Note, Note In Z, or Note Out Z note group as
the source.
The "Pol (Polarity)" (6.4–3a/b/c/d) setting will be
ignored.
Chord analysis cannot be controlled if you select a
source from the JS+Y #01...JS X controller group, a note
group other than the above, or the Velocity...Vel Out Z
velocity group.
(6.4–3a/b/c/d)
Example
(6.4–3a/b/c/d)
Select a GE of GE type Realtime ( VNL), and use the key-
(6.4–3a/b/c/d)
board to input the chord that will control the phrase or note
(6.4–3a/b/c/d)
being played by Melodic Repeat.
(6.4–3a/b/c/d)
Settings (Program mode)
"Dyn1 Source"
"Dyn1 Act (Src Action)":
"Dyn1 Destination":
"KeyZone Botton/Top":
[M]
Play the high range of the keyboard above C4 (specified as
the key zone) to trigger phrases and notes produced by the
KARMA function. At this time, play the lower range of the
keyboard to control the chord of the phrase or notes in
realtime. (Playing the lower range of the keyboard will not
produce sound, but will only control the chord.) This allows
you to play the lower range of the keyboard to vary the
chord while "Melodic Repeat" is producing an extended
phrase, letting you control the development of the phrase.
Smart Scan
As with Chord Scan, this controls the chord analysis that
controls the phrase or pattern generated by the KARMA
module.
Normally, each KARMA module will detect chords from
notes that are input in the key zone specified for each mod-
(6.4–3a/b/c/d)
ule (PROG 6.1–2a, COMBI/SEQ/S.PLAY 6.1–3a). Instead of
(6.4–3a/b/c/d)
this key zone, you can use notes in the range specified by the
(6.4–3a/b/c/d)
source "Range-Btm/Top" (6.4–3a/b/c/d) to control chord
(6.4–3a/b/c/d)
detection.
[C]
Note input by key zone or chord detection by Chord Scan
requires one or more notes, while Smart Scan requires three
or more notes to be input in a given area. In general when
you perform using both hands, the chord will change when
you play three or more notes in either hand. For example if
you press C4 for key zone note input or Chord Scan, the
chord will be detected as C maj. In contrast, Smart Scan will
not detect a chord when you press C4, but will (for example)
detect C Maj when you simultaneously press C4/E4/G4.
In addition, Smart Scan takes into consideration the key-
board location and number of notes that are played, allow-
ing more sophisticated and intuitive control of the timing of
chord detection and the bass note handling.
Note input in the key zone specified for each module
will not be used for normal chord detection on KARMA
modules for which Smart Scan is operating.
If Smart Scan and Chord Scan are specified simulta-
neously, the Chord Scan note range will also be handled
as the Smart Scan note range.
