Korg KARMA Frequently Asked Questions Manual page 56

You can easily copy this default setup from the Song Play Mode to the
Sequencer Mode:
(7.3-1) [Menu]-[MFX]-[Setup]-[UTILITY]-> Copy Master Effect. Cursor to
the "From" field, and use the Value up/down keys to select "Song Play
Mode". Checkmark "All", and press OK.
(7.1-1) [Menu]-[BUS]-[Bus..8/16] Manually set Send 2 (S2) Amount for
each track to "40", which is how it is set in the Song Play Mode. This
sends each program to the reverb.
Note that the default Song Play Mode settings do NOT send any thing to
the Chorus, which is Send 1 (S1). But now that you know this, you can
easily experiment with adding Chorus to various Programs simply by
dialing in an amount for S1.
38. I'm using an external sequencer. Do I have to be in sequence
mode to do a multitrack recording?
In Program Mode, you get 1 sound on 1 MIDI Channel – that's it. The
MIDI Channel is whatever you have set as the Global Channel. Global
Mode (2.1-1a) [Menu]-[MIDI]-> MIDI Channel.
137.
In Combi Mode, you could control up to 8 tracks on up to 8 MIDI
Channels.
You should use Sequencer Mode for all sequencing, even using an
external sequencer (unless perhaps you happen to be using multiple
keyboards and sound modules, and you want to just run the Karma in
Program Mode for a single sound).
39. What are the correct settings to use if I wish to apply the
KARMA effect to individual tracks in my [external] sequence?
Let's set up a simple example. Unplug your MIDI cables. Use just the
Karma.
Turn Local Control On. 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.
