KARMA Getting Started Guide
(same as the TRITON!)
A totally new concept in music production and
performance.
This revolutionary technology generates amazing
phrases, grooves and other musical effects that can be
altered and randomized in real-time.
Each GE contains over 400 parameters, and up to 16 of
them are available for every Program or Combination,
for editing or assignment to the 10 KARMA Realtime
Controls.
Assign and control GE parameters such as harmony,
scale, humanize, randomization and complexity of
rhythm, MIDI control changes, chord control, and much
more! A far greater variety of parameters than any
previous music generating function (like arpeggiators or
phrase sequencers)!
For live performance, and when recorded to the internal,
or external sequencers, and even used in conjunction
with the RPPR and Song Play functions!
For intricate melodic phrases, drum grooves and more.
For split, layer, velocity switch and per track assignment
of multiple GE phrases and patterns!
By operating the KARMA Realtime Control knobs and
switches, you have complete control over your
performance, in any mode!
A full-function sequencer with extensive recording,
editing and mixing capabilities. Combined with the
KARMA real-time control and awesome multi-effects
power, this is the perfect tool for "ready-to-master"
music!
Loopable tracks and the innovative Cue List let users
work the way they like, creating their music in short
segments to be chained together, as long linear
performances, or any method in-between.
Song Templates, preset patterns and the unique RPPR
function make it easy to get started writing a song.
RPPR lets you assign musical phrases to be triggered in
real-time from the keyboard. It's great for live
performance and as a musical way to play parts into the
sequencer. And the RPPR data goes out via MIDI so it
can be used to trigger other external MIDI gear as well!
