Seq 6.1: Karma; 1: Setup - Korg Karma Parameter Manual

SEQ 6.1: KARMA

Here you can make settings for the KARMA functions used
in Sequencer mode. A Sequencer mode song can use four
KARMA modules (modules [A], [B], [C], and [D]).
In Sequencer mode, you can use the KARMA function on
song tracks or for pattern real-time recording. The note-on/
off and MIDI control data generated by the KARMA mod-
ules can be recorded as events on a track or pattern. At this
time, you can use the KARMA Real-time Controls knobs
[1]–[8] or switches [1]/[2] to control the phrase or pattern in
real-time while you record.
When playing back a song or pattern, you can use the
KARMA function in real-time on your keyboard playing, or
in conjunction with real-time performance using the RPPR
function.
The data from the internal sequencer is not input to the
KARMA modules. Note data from the internal
sequencer cannot be used as triggers to cause the
KARMA function to generate phrases.
The KARMA function can be switched by the KARMA Real-
time Controls [ON/OFF] key. The state of the KARMA Real-
time Controls [LATCH] and [SCENE] keys, [SW1] and
[SW2] switches, [1]–[8] knobs, and the note settings/velocity
of the CHORD TRIGGER [1]–[4] keys can be saved for each
song.
By using the utility menu command "Copy KARMA Mod-
ule," you can easily copy the KARMA module settings of a
program or combination. Use this when you wish to use
Sequencer mode to record the KARMA phrase or pattern of
Program mode.
By using the utility menu command "Copy From Combi,"
you can copy the entire settings of a combination, and real-
time record a performance that uses the KARMA function
(Multi REC).
The tempo of the song and the KARMA function can-
not be set independently.
If "MIDI Clock" (GLOBAL 2.1–1a) is set to Internal, you can
use the start timing of the internal sequencer to synchronize
the KARMA module.
• If you press the [START/STOP] key while the KARMA
function is operating, the KARMA function will
synchronize to the timing of the sequencer.
• If you then press the [START/STOP] key again, the
KARMA function will stop playing, as will the
sequencer. If you wish to stop only the KARMA
function, press the (KARMA) [ON/OFF] key.
When "MIDI Clock" (GLOBAL 2.1–1a) is set to Exter-
nal, you can use the MIDI real-time Clock command
from a connected external MIDI device to perform the
same control. ( About synchronizing the KARMA
function, BG p.88)
6.1–1: Setup
The GE can be selected independently for each KARMA
module. In Sequencer mode, you can use four KARMA
modules (modules [A], [B], [C] and [D])
