Using KARMA
+: Control the parameter as shown in the table above.
–: The relationship of MIN and MAX will be inverted. For
example as you move a slider from 000 to 127, the value will
be controlled from the MAX value to the MIN value.
Perf RTP (Perf Real-Time Parameters)
Here's how KARMA parameters such as KARMA key zone
and KARMA module parameters (i.e., KARMA parameters
other than GE realtime parameters) can be assigned to
controllers.
If you've assigned these parameters to KARMA
CONTROLS, you'll be able to control them in realtime
while you perform (see "Control Surface knobs, sliders, &
switches" on page 37, and "7–6b: Perf Real-Time
Parameters" on page 122 of the Parameter Guide).
1. Go to the Program P7: Perf Real-Time Parameters
page.
As an example, we'll show how you can use a KARMA
CONTROLS slider to control the KARMA module
parameter "Transpose."
2. Use "Group" and "Parameter" to select the
parameter you want to control.
For this example, set "Group": Mix, and "Parameter":
Transpose. Turn "A" on (checked) so that the slider will
control KARMA module [A].
3. Specify the range and value that you want to control.
The setting of the parameter will be assigned by default (–12
in this example), as described under "7–3b: Module
Parameter-Control" on page 111 of the Parameter Guide.
For this example, set "Min," "Max," and "Value" to –24, +0,
and –12 respectively.
4. Use "Assign" to assign the desired controller.
For this example, we'll assign Slider 1.
5. Use Polarity to specify the polarity of control.
For this example, specify "+".
When you set CONTROL ASSIGN to RT
KNOBS/KARMA and operate slider 1, the Transpose
setting will change in semitone steps over a range of –24 to
+0, with –12 as the center value.
Note: If you set "Parameter" to Transpose Octave, the
change will occur in steps of one octave over a range of –24
to +0, with –12 as the center value.
If you select Transpose Octave/5th, the change will occur in
alternating steps of an octave or a fifth, over a range of –24
to +0 with –12 as the center value. For example if this
238
parameter is at the Min setting and a C3 note is sounding,
moving slider 1 from 000 toward 127 will cause a pitch
change of C3 G3 C4
Dynamic MIDI setting
Dynamic MIDI lets you use a KRONOS controller or a
MIDI control message to control a specific parameter of
KARMA. You can specify up to eight controllers (Source)
and what they will do (Destination). For more information,
see "Dynamic MIDI Sources & Destinations" on page 1114
of the Parameter Guide.
Naming the KARMA RTC sliders 1–8 and switches
1–8
1. Go to the Program P7: KARMA– Name/Note Map
page.
Here you can select names for the KARMA CONTROLS
sliders and KARMA SWITCHES. You can save these
settings independently for each program. The KRONOS
provides suitable preset names for the KARMA
CONTROLS sliders and KARMA SWITCHES.
Auto Assign KARMA RTC Name
An appropriate name for each KARMA CONTROLS slider
and KARMA SWITCH will be determined based on the GE
RTP or Perf RTP being controlled, and will be assigned
automatically. (See "Auto Assign KARMA RTC Name" on
page 149 of the Parameter Guide.)
Linking KARMA settings to Program changes
KARMA settings can be saved individually for each
Program. Normally, when you select a new Program, its
KARMA settings will be loaded as well. In some cases,
however, you may wish to try out different Programs while
keeping the KARMA settings the same.
The Global Basic page Load KARMA Settings when
changing parameters let you select between these two
behaviors. There are separate settings for Programs, Combis,
and Songs. To set this up:
1. Go to the Global Basic page.
2. Under "Load KARMA setting when changing", set
the "Programs" check-box as desired.
Check the box to load the individual Programs' KARMA
settings.
Un-check the box to keep KARMA settings the same, even
when changing Programs.
For more information, see "Load KARMA settings when
changing" on page 755 of the Parameter Guide.
