Editing KARMA

This section explains how to make settings for
KARMA in each mode. For details on how to perform
using KARMA, see "Performing with KARMA" on
page 217.

Editing KARMA in Program mode

In Program mode you can use only one KARMA
module (module A). KARMA settings for a program
are made in the various pages of Program P7: KARMA.
Here we will explain how to use the major parameters,
such as selecting a GE. For other parameters, see
"Program P7: KARMA" on page 107 of the Parameter
Guide.
Switching KARMA on/off
Each time you press the KARMA ON/OFF switch,
KARMA will be turned on or off. When on, the switch
LED will be lit.
The on/off status is saved when you write the program.
Selecting a GE
Here's how to select the GE used by the KARMA
module.
1. Go to the Program P7: KARMA– GE Setup/Key
Zones page.
2. Press "Load GE Options" to open the dialog box,
turn Auto RTC Setup on, and check the User RTC
Model and Reset Scenes options.
Editing KARMA Editing KARMA in Program mode
"Load GE Options" specifies whether the settings of
the KARMA CONTROLS sliders and KARMA
SWITCHES settings will be automatically set,
initialized, or maintained when you select a GE.
In this example, we've opted to automatically set the
slider and switch functions to the standard settings for
the RTC Model of the selected GE, so that you'll be able
to control the phrase or pattern immediately.
3. Use "GE Select" to select the GE used by the
KARMA module.
Use "Tempo" to set the tempo of the pattern or phrase
generated by the GE.
Use "KARMA T.Sig" to specify the time signature of
the pattern or phrase generated by the GE. If you select
GE/TS the time signature specified by the GE will be
used; with any other setting, the time signature will
change temporarily.
The KRONOS provides numerous preset GEs that can
be used for a wide range of instruments, playing
techniques, and musical styles.
"Category Select" shows the category of the GE that's
selected for the KARMA module. All GEs are
organized by category. You can press "Category Select"
to open the Category/GE Select screen, and choose a
GE by category and sub‐category (see "GE Category
Select" on page 10 of the Parameter Guide).
Copying KARMA settings from another
Program
You can use the "Copy KARMA Module" page menu
command to copy KARMA settings (EG selection,
KARMA module parameter settings, etc.) from another
program.
1. Press the page menu button to open the page
menu, and choose "Copy KARMA Module."
