1~4), you can use the other 4 timbres in the Sequencer for new tracks.
In other words, after copying a 4-timbre Combi, you have 12 tracks left,
even though you copied into 1~8.
33. With my external sequencer, I'm having some difficulty
choosing tracks and recording on them one-at-a-time. It seems
like I'm playing on the wrong track, or playing two channels at
the same time...
This requires some understanding of the MIDI routing options of the
Karma. Just because a sound is on Track 3 doesn't mean that MIDI
Channel 3 is set up to drive it (necessarily).
The Sequencer is a 16 track recorder. Each track can record a single
channel of MIDI data. Normally, the sequencer defaults to having MIDI
Channels 1-16 assigned to Tracks 1-16. In your external sequencing
software, you can set which MIDI Channel a track is transmitting on.
Try this experiment, without any external sequencer hooked up, so that
you learn how it works:
Make sure Local Control is On: Global (2.1-1a) [Menu]-[MIDI]-> Local
Control. Parameter Guide, Page 137.
Create a New Song in the Karma: Seq Mode, (1.1-1) [Play/REC]. Cursor
to the Song number, enter a new number (like "050"-Enter), answer OK.
Since this is a new song, all the MIDI Channels for the tracks have
defaulted to 1-16. You can view this on (3.1-1/2) [Menu]- [Prm1]-
[MIDI..8/16] ->MIDI Channel.
Go to (1.2-1) [Prog...8]. Cursor to the Program for Track01, and set to
A001 Piano (use the Bank Key A, use the numeric keypad keys 0 0 1,
press ENTER). Cursor to the Program for Track 2, set to A006 Bass.
Cursor to Program for Track 3, set to A004 Drums.
Now go to Track Select (1.1-1c)
the Track you are playing, and the MIDI data is sent on the
corresponding MIDI Channel. Set to Track 01. Play the keyboard. You
get Piano. Change this to Track 2. Play the keyboard. You get Bass.
Change this to Track 3. Play the keyboard - you get Drums.
You must keep your tracks on separate MIDI channels in both Karma
and your external sequencer to play instruments one-at-a-time.
