2. Where can I selectively filter out various things that the KARMA
GEs are generating? For example, say I want to remove the pitch
bending.
Program Mode: (6.1-4) [Menu]-[KARM]-[TxFilter].
Page 28.
Combi/Sequencer Mode: (6.1-6) [Menu]-[KARM]-[TxFilter].
Guide, Page 60.
Much of what KARMA generates can be individually filtered out using the
settings on this page. You may find that you can turn off many of these
without hearing a change. Note that this doesn't mean that there is
necessarily anything being filtered out (since not all GEs generate all of
these types of information).
To remove pitch bend from a particular GE, you go to the row
corresponding to the Module A, B, C or D, and uncheck [ ] GE Bend
(Column 1).
The Karma Voice Name List shows the different types of MIDI
information being generated by each GE. You can use this reference to
help get an idea of what may be going on.
Note that this can be of use if you are having Sequencer Out Of Memory
problems, as discussed in the "Sequencing" section of this FAQ. If you
have record enabled ONLY the tracks necessary and are still running out
of memory, the next step is to try to determine which GEs are generating
a lot of data, and see if there is a way to filter out various things that you
either don't hear, or can live without.
3. How does a GE actually create the melody that we hear? Are the
GEs based on preprogrammed patterns ?
There are many factors in KARMA that affect the actual melody that is
generated. The programmer of a GE can decide on several different
methods to employ to generate a specific effect.
It's difficult to explain in short form, but I'll try, and I suggest you also
consult the portions of the GE Guide that apply to the parameters
discussed here.
If the "GE Type" (
