Recording Using Karma (Single-Track Recording) - Korg kronos Operation Manual

Using KARMA in Sequencer mode Recording using KARMA (single-track recording)

Recording using KARMA (single-track recording)

In the following example, we'll use KARMA to record a
drum pattern on track 1.
1. Select the desired drum program for track 1 as
described in the procedure for realtime-recording a
track and for preparing to record (see p.84).
Also make any other necessary settings for recording, such
as setting "Track Select" to T01.
2. Go to the Sequencer P7: KARMA– GE Setup/Key
Zones page.
Make MIDI I/O settings for the KARMA modules so that
KARMA module A will play track 1 (See "Editing KARMA
in Combination mode" on page 239).
For KARMA module A, set the "Input Channel" and
"Output Channel" to 01 and 01 respectively. Setting them to
Tch and Tch will have the same result. For more information,
see "7–1c: MIDI I/O" on page 475 of the Parameter Guide.
As specified by the MIDI track's MIDI Channel setting and
the KARMA module's Out Channel setting, the MIDI track
played by the KARMA module is displayed in red.
3. Select a GE for KARMA module A, and set its
parameters.
You are free to select a GE and make settings as desired, but
in this example we'll use the "Copy KARMA Module" page
menu command to copy all of the program's KARMA
settings. This is an easy way to set up and record the phrase
or pattern that the program's KARMA is generating.
1. Use the page menu button located in the top left of the
screen to display the page menu, and choose "Copy
KARMA Module."
Specify the copy-source program. Turn on (check) "GE RTP
Control Settings & Scenes" and "Perf. RTP & Panel
Settings." Press OK to execute the copy.
The settings of the KARMA REALTIME CONTROLS
sliders, switches, and scenes will be copied to Module
Control A.
2. Press the KARMA ON/OFF switch to turn on
KARMA.
When you play the keyboard, KARMA will generate a drum
pattern just as it did for the program.
3. Use the SEQUENCER REC/WRITE switch and the
START/STOP switch to realtime-record on track 1.
(See "Recording MIDI in real-time" on page 84)
You can operate the KARMA REALTIME CONTROLS
sliders/switches and the SCENE switches while recording,
and the changes in the pattern or sound that occur will be
recorded just as they occur.
The song tempo and KARMA tempo cannot be set
independently.
4. If you want the KARMA module to be in
synchronization with the sequencer during recording,
check the "Quantize Trig" option.
Go to the Sequencer P7: KARMA– Module Parameters-
Trigger page.
The trigger timing will be synchronized to sixteenth-note
intervals of the sequencer beat. (See "Synchronizing
KARMA" on page 247)
5. You can synchronize the KARMA module to the start
timing of the sequencer.
