Korg KARMA Frequently Asked Questions Manual page 86

What you should do is this: initialize the KARMA Module first, which will
remove all the tricky internal settings. Go to:
(6.1-1) [UTILITY] -> Init KARMA Module. Make sure that "KARMA RT &
Panel Setting" is checked (On). Parameter Guide, Page 26.
Then auditioning GEs might seem to make a bit more sense.
6. Can you change the length of a GE pattern? For example, if one
is 32 steps and I want it to be 16 steps or 8 steps.
In many GEs, you can change the Time Signature, which is basically a
way of changing the length. Other things that may affect the length are
changing the number of Phases in the Phase Pattern (by changing the
Phase Pattern Template). If the GE does not use a Phase Length Mode of
"Time Signature", but "Actual", changing the number of notes played or
the Note Series Replications can also affect the perceived length of the riff
or phrase. These parameters are described in the GE Guide.
You can check on the K RTC page (1.5) and see if any of the knobs are
set to "Time Signature", or "Number Of Measures", or "Number of Events"
etc. These are ways of changing the length. Even if none of these names
show up, the appropriate parameters may have been selected by the
programmer to appear in the up to 16 GE Parameters, and are just not
assigned to the knobs. In that case, you can check (6.3-1/2/3/4) [K GE]
and change the values there, if they have been assigned.
