KARMA GE guide
Time Controls Editor) to control all three Patterns at
the same time. The values 0~8 select one of 9 different
combinations, shown in the following table:
Off
Melodic Repeat will be turned off in each step of the
Phase Pattern, for the specified Drum Patterns.
On
Melodic Repeat will be turned on in each step of the
Phase Pattern, for the specified Drum Patterns.
As Stored
Melodic Repeat will be set to the internally stored
settings of the GE, for each Phase Pattern Step. This
means that repeats can be on in some steps, and off in
others, such as just generating repeated notes in the
last bar of a four bar pattern.
Resync Index Templates
Controls the selection of one of 12 Resync Index
Template settings, which apply different values to each
step of the Resync Index Rows [ri] of the Phase Pattern,
–1: As Stored
The Resync Index settings for the specified Drum
Pattern will be set to whatever values they are stored
to internally in the GE. They could be all On or all Off,
or any combination of On and Off.

in the specified Drum Pattern's section of the Phase
Pattern Drum Activity Grid. This causes the Drum
Pattern's playback indexes to resynchronize at various
steps of the Phase Pattern.
Index Pattern settings may be used to modify a
specified Drum Pattern's playback, often with
randomized results, according to settings in the Phase
Group and Index Group. When doing so, the use of the
Index Pattern can cause playback of the various steps
of the Drum Pattern to skip around and play out of
order, creating new variations, often with a "free-form"
improvisational feel. While quite useful, this can often
feel "too syncopated," as the pattern can become
completely disconnected from its original placement.
However, as playback of the Phase Pattern enters a
particular step, if the Resync Index button [ri] is On,
then the selected Drum Pattern's playback index will
be reset to the position that it normally would be in if it
wasn't being modified by the application of the Index
Pattern. This can "resynchronize" the Drum Pattern
back to the downbeat every four beats, or every two
beats, etc., while allowing it to then begin skipping
around again.
As playback of the Phase Pattern enters a particular
step, if the Resync Index button [ri] is Off, no resetting
of the Drum Pattern's index is performed, and the
generation of the Drum Pattern continues from
wherever it may be.
The following table illustrates the various values
loaded into the Phase Pattern when a Resync Index
Template is loaded for a particular Drum Pattern:
9...13: Templates based on 3
The Resync Index settings for the specified Drum
Pattern will be set to one of the various patterns of On
and Off values, causing the Drum Pattern playback
indexes to resynchronize at various steps of the Phase
Pattern.
