Using the KARMA controllers
You can operate the KARMA controllers to control the
phrase or pattern generated by each KARMA module. In
Combination mode, you can choose the KARMA module
that you want to control.
Note: The state of the KARMA controllers is saved when
you write the combination.
1. Go to the Combination P0: Play– KARMA GE page.
The lower part of the display shows the names of the sliders
and switches that are assigned in this combination.
In the pre-loaded combinations, the KARMA CONTROLS
sliders and KARMA SWITCHES have already been
assigned.
2. Use the front panel MODULE CONTROL switch to
select the module that you want to control.
If you select MASTER, you will be controlling all four
KARMA modules simultaneously.
If you select A–D, you will be controlling the corresponding
KARMA module.
3. Operate the front panel KARMA CONTROLS 1–8
sliders and KARMA SWITCHES 1–8.
The sliders and switches will control the pattern or phrase
generated by the KARMA module selected by the
MODULE CONTROL switch. If you've selected MASTER,
you'll be able to control the module on/off status and vary
the patterns and phrases generated by all of the KARMA
modules.
You can also operate the sliders and switches in the display
or using the VALUE controller, just as in Program mode.
The KARMA module and the type or value of the parameter
being controlled by the sliders and switches is shown in the
KARMA Module Info "KARMA Value" field. This lets you
see the KARMA module and parameters that are being
affected by your slider or switch operations.

4. Use the front panel SCENE 1–8 switches to choose a
scene.
This changes the scene for the KARMA module(s) selected
by the MODULE CONTROL switch.
If MODULE CONTROL is set to MASTER, each KARMA
module will change to the scene that is saved as the master
setting.
Each of the eight scenes contains the values of sliders 1–8
and switches 1–8. By pressing a SCENE 1–8 switch to
choose a scene, you can instantly recall settings for the eight
sliders and eight switches.
Even if you switch scenes, the changes you make using
sliders 1–8 and switches 1–8 are remembered until you
select another combination. When you write a combination,
your slider and switch settings are saved in the respective
scene 1–8.
Name display for the KARMA CONTROLS 1–8
sliders and KARMA SWITCHES 1–8
Just as in the equivalent page of Program mode, the
Combination P0: Play– KARMA GE page displays the
sliders and switches assigned to the combination, and their
names.
In the combination, the name shown in square brackets [ ] is
the category of the program selected for the timbre being
controlled by the KARMA CONTROLS 1–8 sliders and
KARMA SWITCHES. This tells you the timbre whose
phrase is being controlled by the KARMA CONTROLS 1–8
sliders and KARMA SWITCHES.
If multiple timbres are being controlled simultaneously, this
will indicate [MLTI].
KARMA module "Run" and "Solo"
settings
In Combination mode, up to four KARMA modules can be
operating simultaneously.
If KARMA is off, all KARMA modules will be stopped. If
KARMA is on, the KARMA module(s) you specify here
will operate.
1. Go to the Combination P7: KARMA– GE Setup/Key
Zones page.
2. Use the "Run" and "Solo" settings to specify the
module(s) that will operate when KARMA is on.
KARMA modules whose "Run" setting is On (checked) will
operate.
