Using KARMA
The values you assign here are controlled as follows by
the KARMA CONTROLS you specify in the "ASSIGN"
field.
Slider 1–8 000-064-127 =MIN-VALUE-MAX
Slider 1–8 (SW) 000-063 = MIN, 064-127 = MAX
SW 1–8 Off = MIN, On = MAX
DynaMIDI 1–8 Depending on Dynamic MIDI setting
3. Use "ASSIGN" to assign each GE realtime
parameter to the desired controller.
4. Use Polarity to specify the polarity of control.
+: Control the parameter as shown in the table above.
–: The relationship of MIN and MAX will be inverted.
For example as you move a slider from 000 to 127, the
value will be controlled from the MAX value to the
MIN value.
Perf RTP (Perf Real-Time Parameters)
Here's how KARMA parameters such as KARMA key
zone and KARMA module parameters (i.e., KARMA
parameters other than GE realtime parameters) can be
assigned to controllers.
If you've assigned these parameters to KARMA
CONTROLS, you'll be able to control them in realtime
while you perform (see "Control Surface knobs,
sliders, & switches" on page 33, and "7–6b: Perf Real‐
Time Parameters" on page 123 of the Parameter
Guide).
1. Go to the Program P7: Perf Real‐Time Parameters
page.
As an example, we'll show how you can use a KARMA
CONTROLS slider to control the KARMA module
parameter "Transpose."
2. Use "Group" and "Parameter" to select the
parameter you want to control.
For this example, set "Group": Mix, and "Parameter":
Transpose. Turn "A" on (checked) so that the slider will
control KARMA module [A].
3. Specify the range and value that you want to
control.
The setting of the parameter will be assigned by
default (–12 in this example), as described under "7–
3b: Module Parameter‐Control" on page 113 of the
Parameter Guide.
226
For this example, set "Min," "Max," and "Value" to –
24, +0, and –12 respectively.
4. Use "Assign" to assign the desired controller.
For this example, we'll assign Slider 1.
5. Use Polarity to specify the polarity of control.
For this example, specify "+".
When you set CONTROL ASSIGN to RT
KNOBS/KARMA and operate slider 1, the Transpose
setting will change in semitone steps over a range of –
24 to +0, with –12 as the center value.
Note: If you set "Parameter" to Transpose Octave, the
change will occur in steps of one octave over a range of
–24 to +0, with –12 as the center value.
If you select Transpose Octave/5th, the change will
occur in alternating steps of an octave or a fifth, over a
range of –24 to +0 with –12 as the center value. For
example if this parameter is at the Min setting and a C3
note is sounding, moving slider 1 from 000 toward 127
will cause a pitch change of C3 → G3 → C4 → G4 →
C5.
Dynamic MIDI setting
Dynamic MIDI lets you use a KRONOS controller or a
MIDI control message to control a specific parameter
of KARMA. You can specify up to eight controllers
(Source) and what they will do (Destination). For more
information, see "Dynamic MIDI Sources &
Destinations" on page 1109 of the Parameter Guide.
Naming the KARMA RTC sliders 1–8 and switches
1–8
1. Go to the Program P7: KARMA– Name/Note Map
page.
Here you can select names for the KARMA
CONTROLS sliders and KARMA SWITCHES. You can
save these settings independently for each program.
The KRONOS provides suitable preset names for the
KARMA CONTROLS sliders and KARMA
SWITCHES.
Auto Assign KARMA RTC Name
An appropriate name for each KARMA CONTROLS
slider and KARMA SWITCH will be determined based
on the GE RTP or Perf RTP being controlled, and will
be assigned automatically. (See "Auto Assign KARMA
RTC Name" on page 148 of the Parameter Guide.)
