Using the KARMA controllers
You can operate the KARMA controllers to control the
phrase or pattern generated by each KARMA module.
In Combination mode, you can choose the KARMA
module that you want to control.
Note: The state of the KARMA controllers is saved
when you write the combination.
1. Go to the Combination P0: Play– KARMA GE
page.
The lower part of the display shows the names of the
sliders and switches that are assigned in this
combination.
In the pre‐loaded combinations, the KARMA
CONTROLS sliders and KARMA SWITCHES have
already been assigned.
2. Use the front panel MODULE CONTROL switch
to select the module that you want to control.
If you select MASTER, you will be controlling all four
KARMA modules simultaneously.
If you select A–D, you will be controlling the
corresponding KARMA module.
3. Operate the front panel KARMA CONTROLS 1–8
sliders and KARMA SWITCHES 1–8.
The sliders and switches will control the pattern or
phrase generated by the KARMA module selected by
the MODULE CONTROL switch. If you've selected
MASTER, you'll be able to control the module on/off
status and vary the patterns and phrases generated by
all of the KARMA modules.
You can also operate the sliders and switches in the
display or using the VALUE controller, just as in
Program mode.
The KARMA module and the type or value of the
parameter being controlled by the sliders and switches
is shown in the KARMA Module Info "KARMA
Value" field. This lets you see the KARMA module and
parameters that are being affected by your slider or
switch operations.

4. Use the front panel SCENE 1–8 switches to choose
a scene.
This changes the scene for the KARMA module(s)
selected by the MODULE CONTROL switch.
If MODULE CONTROL is set to MASTER, each
KARMA module will change to the scene that is saved
as the master setting.
Each of the eight scenes contains the values of sliders
1–8 and switches 1–8. By pressing a SCENE 1–8 switch
to choose a scene, you can instantly recall settings for
the eight sliders and eight switches.
Even if you switch scenes, the changes you make using
sliders 1–8 and switches 1–8 are remembered until you
select another combination. When you write a
combination, your slider and switch settings are saved
in the respective scene 1–8.

sliders and KARMA SWITCHES 1–8
Just as in the equivalent page of Program mode, the
Combination P0: Play– KARMA GE page displays the
sliders and switches assigned to the combination, and
their names.
In the combination, the name shown in square brackets
[ ] is the category of the program selected for the
timbre being controlled by the KARMA CONTROLS
1–8 sliders and KARMA SWITCHES. This tells you the
timbre whose phrase is being controlled by the
KARMA CONTROLS 1–8 sliders and KARMA
SWITCHES.
If multiple timbres are being controlled
simultaneously, this will indicate [MLTI].
KARMA module "Run" and "Solo"
settings
In Combination mode, up to four KARMA modules
can be operating simultaneously.
If KARMA is off, all KARMA modules will be stopped.
If KARMA is on, the KARMA module(s) you specify
here will operate.
1. Go to the Combination P7: KARMA– GE
Setup/Key Zones page.
2. Use the "Run" and "Solo" settings to specify the
module(s) that will operate when KARMA is on.
KARMA modules whose "Run" setting is On
(checked) will operate.
