Using KARMA

these GEs without pressing the OK button.

press the OK button to close the menu.

Performing with KARMA in Combination mode

In Combination mode, up to four KARMA modules
can be operating simultaneously. You can use the four
KARMA modules together with the sixteen timbre
programs in a wide variety of ways, for example by
using them to independently play phrases and
patterns for separate programs such as drums, bass,
guitar, and strings.
Selecting a Combination and turning
KARMA on/off
1. Press the COMBI switch to enter Combination
mode, and select the desired combination. (See
"Selecting Combinations" on page 57.)
As you step through the combinations, you will notice
that the KARMA ON/OFF switch LED is lit for some
combinations.
With these combinations, KARMA will begin playing
when you play the keyboard.
Note: If the Drum Track is on, and Trigger Mode is set
to Wait KBD Trig, the Drum Track will start playing
simultaneously.
Even for other combinations, you can press the
KARMA ON/OFF switch (LED lit) to turn on KARMA.
Adjusting the performance tempo
In the same way as for a program, you can use the
TEMPO knob or the TAP TEMPO switch to adjust the
performance tempo. Changing the tempo will affect
the tempo of all KARMA modules that are operating.
(See p.217)
You can't adjust the performance tempo of each
KARMA module individually.

Alternatively, you can select a GE by choosing "GE
Select" in the display, and operating the VALUE slider
or VALUE dial. You can also use "GE Category Select"
to choose a GE by category. (See "GE Category Select"
on page 10 of the Parameter Guide.)
Editing KARMA module parameters
For details on editing the parameters of a KARMA
module, see "Editing KARMA" on page 223.
Checking note-on/off and key zone
The screen shown below is a realtime display of the
note data received from the keyboard, pads 1–8, and
MIDI IN, and the note on/off data generated by
KARMA modules A, B, C, and D, together with the
name of the chord that was detected.
1. Go to the Combination P0: Play– KARMA GE
page.
When you play the keyboard, the name of the chord
detected by each KARMA module will appear in the
"Chord" field of KARMA Module Info.
The displayed chord name is the chord that is detected
by the module selected by the front panel MODULE
CONTROL switch. The way in which chords are
detected will depend on the settings of the KARMA
module.
The CCs/Notes area shows the status of the control
data and note‐on/off data generated by KARMA
modules A, B, C, and D, and the key zone settings of
the KARMA modules.
Note: Chord detection is affected by the KARMA
module's key zone settings (Combination 7–1b),
"Transpose" (Combination 7–3b: Module Parameter‐
Control), and Dynamic MIDI "Destination"
(Combination 7–8) Chord Scan and Smart Scan.
