Editing KARMA

This section explains how to make settings for KARMA in
each mode. For details on how to perform using KARMA,
see "Performing with KARMA" on page 229.

Editing KARMA in Program mode

In Program mode you can use only one KARMA module
(module A). KARMA settings for a program are made in the
various pages of Program P7: KARMA. Here we will
explain how to use the major parameters, such as selecting a
GE. For other parameters, see "Program P7: KARMA" on
page 106 of the Parameter Guide.
Switching KARMA on/off
Each time you press the KARMA ON/OFF switch, KARMA
will be turned on or off. When on, the switch LED will be lit.
The on/off status is saved when you write the program.
Selecting a GE
Here's how to select the GE used by the KARMA module.
1. Go to the Program P7: KARMA– GE Setup/Key
Zones page.
2. Press "Load GE Options" to open the dialog box, turn
Auto RTC Setup on, and check the User RTC Model
and Reset Scenes options.
"Load GE Options" specifies whether the settings of the
KARMA CONTROLS sliders and KARMA SWITCHES
settings will be automatically set, initialized, or maintained
when you select a GE.

In this example, we've opted to automatically set the slider
and switch functions to the standard settings for the RTC
Model of the selected GE, so that you'll be able to control
the phrase or pattern immediately.
3. Use "GE Select" to select the GE used by the KARMA
module.
Use "Tempo" to set the tempo of the pattern or phrase
generated by the GE.
Use "KARMA T.Sig" to specify the time signature of the
pattern or phrase generated by the GE. If you select GE/TS
the time signature specified by the GE will be used; with any
other setting, the time signature will change temporarily.
The KRONOS provides numerous preset GEs that can be
used for a wide range of instruments, playing techniques,
and musical styles.
"Category Select" shows the category of the GE that's
selected for the KARMA module. All GEs are organized by
category. You can press "Category Select" to open the
Category/GE Select screen, and choose a GE by category
and sub-category (see "GE Category Select" on page 10 of
the Parameter Guide).
Copying KARMA settings from another
Program
You can use the "Copy KARMA Module" page menu
command to copy KARMA settings (EG selection, KARMA
module parameter settings, etc.) from another program.
1. Press the page menu button to open the page menu,
and choose "Copy KARMA Module."
2. Specify the copy-source mode, bank, and number.
If you want to copy the GE realtime parameter settings and
scene settings from the copy-source program, choose the
"GE RTP Control Settings & Scenes" option (checked).
