Synchronizing with song start/stop

Synchronizing with a song or pattern in
Sequencer mode
• If you press the [START/STOP] key while the
KARMA function is operating, the KARMA
function will synchronize to the timing of the
sequencer. The KARMA function will be reset, and
will start from the beginning of the phrase or
pattern.
• If the sequencer is running and the KARMA
function is operating, and you change the location
by (for example) pressing the [LOCATE] key, the
KARMA function will be reset, and will start from
the beginning of the phrase or pattern.
• If you then press the [START/STOP] key, the
sequencer and the KARMA function will both stop.
If you wish to stop only the KARMA function,
press the (KARMA) [ON/OFF] key.
• If you want the KARMA function to start
simultaneously with the beginning of recording,
press the (KARMA) [ON/OFF] key, and play the
keyboard during the precount that precedes
recording. The KARMA module will not be
triggered immediately, but will be triggered in
synchronization with the sequencer when
recording begins.
Synchronizing with a song in Song Play
mode
• If you press the [START/STOP] key while the
KARMA function is operating, the KARMA
function will synchronize to the timing of the SMF
playback. The KARMA function will be reset, and
will start from the beginning of the phrase or
pattern.
• If the SMF is playing and the KARMA function is
operating, and you change the location by (for
example) pressing the [LOCATE] key, the KARMA
function will be reset, and will start from the
beginning of the phrase or pattern.
• If you then press the [START/STOP] key, the SMF
and the KARMA function will both stop. If you
wish to stop only the KARMA function, press the
(KARMA) [ON/OFF] key.
Synchronizing to an external MIDI
device
If "MIDI Clock" (GLOBAL 2.1-1a) is set to External
( =EXT), the KARMA function will synchronize to
MIDI realtime clock and realtime commands received
from a connected MIDI device.
Synchronizing to external MIDI clock
Set "MIDI Clock" (GLOBAL 2.1-1a) to External. The
tempo of the KARMA function will synchronize to the
timing of the external MIDI clock.
Synchronizing to external MIDI realtime
commands
Set "MIDI Clock" (GLOBAL 2.1-1a) to External.
In Sequencer mode, song start, continue, and stop mes-
sages can be received to control song playback and
recording in the same way as if this instrument's
[START/STOP] key had been pressed. The KARMA
function will also be controlled as if the [STOP/START]
key had been pressed. ( " Synchronizing with song
start/stop")
Song position pointer messages can also be received to
control the location of the song, just as if an operation
had been performed on this instrument to change the
location, and the KARMA function will be controlled
in the same way as when the location is changed on the
workstation itself.
In Program and Combination modes, song start, con-
tinue, and stop messages can be received to control the
KARMA function.
• If song start, continue, or song position pointer
messages are received while the KARMA function
is operating, the KARMA function will be reset,
and will start from the beginning of the phrase or
pattern.
• If song stop is received, the KARMA function will
stop.
