Routing Insert Effects and Individual Outputs – Karma
Karma's HI synthesis allows for very simple routing of sounds to any of the 4 outputs while in the
Sequencer mode or Combination mode. In addition, you can choose whether sounds are routed dry
or with insert effects. This tutorial will discuss both processes. Please take the time to read both, as
the first section will help pave the way for the second.
Tutorial 1 - Assigning Non-Effected (Dry) signals to individual outs
Let's route track 1 to the third output (INDIV 1) in the Sequencer mode:
1. Press the SEQ button to enter Sequencer Mode.
2. Press the MENU button.
3. Press the F7 button once to highlight "BUS" on screen.
4. Press the F8 button directly below "Open" on the screen. This will take you to the Insert FX section.
On this screen, you'll be able to see the routing for the first eight tracks of the sequence. (Tracks 9-16
are under a different tab –F2. Right now, let's just stay on tracks 1-8). Notice that all tracks are
defaulted to "L/R". This means that all of the tracks are heading for the stereo L Mono & R outputs.
Here is where you can change that output destination.
5. Notice that the output routing for track 1 is already selected (Darkened). Using the value slider, wheel
or buttons, change "L/R" to "1". Track 1 will now come out of "INDIV 1".
6. Repeat for track 2-16 as needed.
Tutorial 2 - Assigning tracks to individual outs with Insert Effects
Insert effects are effects that can be assigned to specified tracks. Much like our previous example,
insert effects can be set to output whatever signal is routed to them to individual outs. Let's assign an
effect to Track 1 of a Sequence, then take the effected sound and route it to Individual output 1:
First, let's get an insert effect assigned in the Sequencer mode:
1. Press the SEQ button to enter Sequencer Mode.
2. Press the MENU button.
3. Press the F7 button twice to highlight "IFX" on screen.
4. Press the F8 button, directly below "Open" on the screen. This will take you to the Insert FX section.
5. Press the F1 button, directly below "Setup" on the screen. This will take you to the IFX setup screen,
where you can select desired effects.
