Program Mode; How A Program Is Organized; Basic Program Editing - Korg Karma Basic Manual

In Program mode you can select play and edit pro-
grams. Program mode consists of pages 1.1: Play–7.3:
Ed–MasterFX.
In 1.1: Play you can select and play programs. You can
also edit the sound in simple ways, and make KARMA
function settings. ( p.26, p.33)
In 2.1: Ed–Basic–7.3: Ed–MasterFX, you can edit the
parameters of the program that was selected in 1.1:
Play.
All transmission and reception of MIDI data in
Program mode is performed on the Global MIDI
channel. The global MIDI channel is set in GLO-
BAL 2.1: MIDI "MIDI Channel."

How a program is organized

A program consists of the many parameters of 2.1: Ed–
Basic–7.3: Ed–MasterFX. The diagram below shows the
structure of a program.
Program Basic : 2.1-1
OSC1 LFO1 : 5.3-1
OSC1 Basic : 2.1-2, 4
OSC1 Pitch Mod. : 3.1-1, 2 Filter1 Mod. : 4.1-2,3
Filter1 LFO Mod. : 4.1-4
Pitch EG : 3.1-5

OSC1 LFO2 : 5.3-2

Basic program editing

With the factory settings, this instrument's program
bunks A, B, and E contain preloaded programs. You
can modify these programs, or create your own origi-
nal programs from an initialized state.
Programs you edit or create can be written to 640 pro-
gram memory locations: bank A–E. Programs can also
be saved in Disk mode on external media such as
floppy disk. ( p.38, p.40)
For parameters in 2.1: Ed–Basic–5.3: Ed–LFOs that
are set independently for each oscillator 1 and 2,
you can use the Utility "Copy Oscillator" to copy
settings from one oscillator to the other. This is a
convenient way to make the same settings for two
oscillators, or to copy settings from one oscillator
to the other.
If you wish to save an edited program into internal
memory, be sure to Write the program. ( p.38)
If the separately sold EXB-MOSS option is
installed, you will be able to use bank F. The
parameter structure of bank F programs is differ-
ent than that of the other banks. Refer to the EXB-
MOSS owner's manual and PG p.269.
In this section we will give examples of how to modify
representative parameters in each page. For details on
all parameters, refer to in the PG p.1–.
