Recording Using Karma (Single-Track Recording) - Korg Kronos Operation Manual

Using KARMA in Sequencer mode Recording using KARMA (single-track recording)

Recording using KARMA (single-track recording)

In the following example, we'll use KARMA to record
a drum pattern on track 1.
1. Select the desired drum program for track 1 as
described in the procedure for realtime‐recording
a track and for preparing to record (see p.78).
Also make any other necessary settings for recording,
such as setting "Track Select" to T01.
2. Go to the Sequencer P7: KARMA– GE Setup/Key
Zones page.
Make MIDI I/O settings for the KARMA modules so
that KARMA module A will play track 1 (See "Editing
KARMA in Combination mode" on page 227).
For KARMA module A, set the "Input Channel" and
"Output Channel" to 01 and 01 respectively. Setting
them to Tch and Tch will have the same result. For
more information, see "7–1c: MIDI I/O" on page 471 of
the Parameter Guide.
As specified by the MIDI track's MIDI Channel setting
and the KARMA module's Out Channel setting, the
MIDI track played by the KARMA module is
displayed in red.
3. Select a GE for KARMA module A, and set its
parameters.
You are free to select a GE and make settings as
desired, but in this example we'll use the "Copy
KARMA Module" page menu command to copy all of
the program's KARMA settings. This is an easy way to
set up and record the phrase or pattern that the
program's KARMA is generating.
1. Use the page menu button located in the top left of
the screen to display the page menu, and choose
"Copy KARMA Module."
Specify the copy‐source program. Turn on (check) "GE
RTP Control Settings & Scenes" and "Perf. RTP &
Panel Settings." Press OK to execute the copy.
The settings of the KARMA REALTIME CONTROLS
sliders, switches, and scenes will be copied to Module
Control A.
2. Press the KARMA ON/OFF switch to turn on
KARMA.
When you play the keyboard, KARMA will generate a
drum pattern just as it did for the program.
3. Use the SEQUENCER REC/WRITE switch and the
START/STOP switch to realtime‐record on track 1.
(See "Recording MIDI in real‐time" on page 78)
You can operate the KARMA REALTIME CONTROLS
sliders/switches and the SCENE switches while
recording, and the changes in the pattern or sound that
occur will be recorded just as they occur.
The song tempo and KARMA tempo cannot be set
independently.
4. If you want the KARMA module to be in
synchronization with the sequencer during
recording, check the "Quantize Trigger" option.
Go to the Sequencer P7: KARMA– Module Parameters‐
Trigger page.
The trigger timing will be synchronized to sixteenth‐
note intervals of the sequencer beat. (See
"Synchronizing KARMA" on page 235)
5. You can synchronize the KARMA module to the
start timing of the sequencer.
