Special Note:
We recommend ALWAYS turning OFF the KARMA function before selecting new GEs. Since a GE can be sending a
lot of controller information to a sound, changing GEs while KARMA is running can result in sounds being left in an
edited/modulated state, which means the new GE may not sound right.
