Multi-Track Recording Using Settings Copied From A Combination - Korg kronos Operation Manual

Using KARMA
• While KARMA is running, press the START/STOP
switch; KARMA will synchronize to the synthesizer
timing.
• If you again press the START/STOP switch, the
sequencer and KARMA will both stop. If you want to
stop only KARMA, press the (KARMA) ON/OFF switch
to turn it off.

Multi-track recording using settings copied from a Combination

The pre-loaded combinations include a diverse array of
combinations that take full advantage of KARMA. You can
play these combinations to stimulate ideas for songs, and
record your playing to create basic tracks. Many of these
combinations consist of timbres and KARMA modules with
differing MIDI channel settings.
In the example below, we'll show how you can use multi-
track recording to record a performance consisting of
multiple MIDI channels.
1. We'll start by copying the settings of a combination
into a song. Go to the Sequencer P0: Play/REC– MIDI
Track Prog Select/Mixer page.
2. In the upper left of the screen, press the page menu
button to open the page menu, and choose "Copy
From Combination."
Select the copy-source combination. Turn IFX-All, MFXs,
TFXs, and Multi REC Standby on (checked). Press OK to
execute the copy.
3. The settings of the combination's timbres 1–16 will be
copied to MIDI tracks 1–16. Effect settings, KARMA
settings, and all other common parameters will be
copied to the tracks of the song.
4. Choose "Track Select." Select a track whose MIDI
channel matches the global MIDI channel.
Press the ON/OFF switch to turn KARMA on, and play the
keyboard and/or pads to make KARMA begin playing in the
same way as it did in the copy-source combination.
(Depending on the track you selected in "Track Source," the
performance may not be the same as when you were playing
the combination. Be sure to select the track whose MIDI
channel is the same as the global MIDI channel.)
5. Perform multi-track recording. Make preparations
for recording as described in "Multi (multitrack
recording)" on page 86. Turn "Multi REC" on
(checked).

• If you want KARMA to start at the moment recording
begins, press the (KARMA) ON/OFF switch to turn it
on, and then play the keyboard during the pre-count
before recording. The KARMA module will not be
triggered immediately, but will be triggered in
synchronization with the sequencer when recording
begins. (See "Synchronizing KARMA" on page 247)
Set the tracks you're not recording to either Play or Mute.
However if you're recording the performance of a
combination, and none of the tracks have already been
recorded, it's OK to leave all tracks set to REC.
6. Press the REC/WRITE switch and then the
START/STOP switch to begin realtime recording.
(See "Recording MIDI in real-time" on page 84)
While you record, you can operate the KARMA
REALTIME CONTROLS sliders, KARMA SWITCHES,
and SCENE switches to vary the pattern or sound. The
changes you create will be recorded just as you make them.
The song tempo and KARMA tempo cannot be set
independently.
