Multi-Track Recording Using Settings Copied From A Combination - Korg Kronos Operation Manual

Using KARMA
• While KARMA is running, press the START/STOP
switch; KARMA will synchronize to the synthesizer
timing.
• If you again press the START/STOP switch, the
sequencer and KARMA will both stop. If you want
to stop only KARMA, press the (KARMA) ON/OFF
switch to turn it off.

Multi-track recording using settings copied from a Combination

The pre‐loaded combinations include a diverse array
of combinations that take full advantage of KARMA.
You can play these combinations to stimulate ideas for
songs, and record your playing to create basic tracks.
Many of these combinations consist of timbres and
KARMA modules with differing MIDI channel
settings.
In the example below, we'll show how you can use
multi‐track recording to record a performance
consisting of multiple MIDI channels.
1. We'll start by copying the settings of a
combination into a song. Go to the Sequencer P0:
Play/REC– MIDI Track Prog Select/Mixer page.
2. In the upper left of the screen, press the page
menu button to open the page menu, and choose
"Copy From Combination."
Select the copy‐source combination. Turn IFX‐All,
MFXs, TFXs, and Multi REC Standby on (checked).
Press OK to execute the copy.
3. The settings of the combination's timbres 1–16
will be copied to MIDI tracks 1–16. Effect settings,
KARMA settings, and all other common
parameters will be copied to the tracks of the song.
4. Choose "Track Select." Select a track whose MIDI
channel matches the global MIDI channel.
Press the ON/OFF switch to turn KARMA on, and play
the keyboard and/or pads to make KARMA begin
playing in the same way as it did in the copy‐source
combination. (Depending on the track you selected in
"Track Source," the performance may not be the same
as when you were playing the combination. Be sure to
select the track whose MIDI channel is the same as the
global MIDI channel.)
5. Perform multi‐track recording. Make preparations
for recording as described in "Multi (multitrack
recording)" on page 80. Turn "Multi REC" on
(checked).

• If you want KARMA to start at the moment
recording begins, press the (KARMA) ON/OFF
switch to turn it on, and then play the keyboard
during the pre‐count before recording. The
KARMA module will not be triggered immediately,
but will be triggered in synchronization with the
sequencer when recording begins. (See
"Synchronizing KARMA" on page 235)
Set the tracks you're not recording to either Play or
Mute. However if you're recording the performance of
a combination, and none of the tracks have already
been recorded, it's ok to leave all tracks set to REC.
6. Press the REC/WRITE switch and then the
START/STOP switch to begin realtime recording.
(See "Recording MIDI in real‐time" on page 78)
While you record, you can operate the KARMA
REALTIME CONTROLS sliders, KARMA SWITCHES,
and SCENE switches to vary the pattern or sound. The
changes you create will be recorded just as you make
them.
The song tempo and KARMA tempo cannot be set
independently.
