Setting example 2
This example shows how the "Timbre Thru" option works.
Select a piano program for timbre 1, a bass program for
timbre 2, and a drum program for timbre 3.
We'll play timbre 1 manually from the keyboard. KARMA
module A will be used to play a bass phrase on timbre 2, and
KARMA module B to play a drum phrase on KARMA
module B. (Make sure that the global MIDI channel is 01.)
1. Set the MIDI Channel for timbres 1, 2, and 3.
For this example, set timbre 1 to 01, timbre 2 to 02, and
timbre 3 to 03. Since each timbre is set to a separate channel,
the KARMA module set to the corresponding channel will
play only that timbre.
2. Set the "Input Channel" and "Output Channel" of
each KARMA module as follows.
KARMA module A: "Input Ch" = G ch, "Out Ch"= 02
KARMA module B: "Input Ch" = G ch, "Out Ch"= 03
The timbres played by the KARMA modules are shown in
red, as specified by the timbre's MIDI channel setting and
the KARMA module's Out Channel setting.
3. For KARMA modules A and B, turn "Run" on
(checked), and set "GE Select" to GE. (See ""Run"
and "Solo" settings" on page 239.)
KARMA module A: select a bass phrase as the GE
KARMA module B: select a drum phrase as the GE
