Using KARMA
As you step through the combinations, you will
notice that the KARMA ON/OFF switch LED is lit
for some combinations.
With these combinations, the KARMA function will
begin playing when you play the keyboard or pads
1–8.
Even for other combinations, you can press the
KARMA ON/OFF switch (LED lit) to turn on the
KARMA function.
Adjusting the performance tempo
In the same way as for a program, you can use the
TEMPO knob or the TAP TEMPO switch to adjust the
performance tempo. Changing the tempo will affect
the tempo of all KARMA modules that are operating.
(See p.196)
You can't adjust the performance tempo of each
KARMA module individually.
Checking note-on/off and key zone
The screen shown below is a realtime display of the
note data received from the keyboard, pads 1–8, and
MIDI IN, and the note on/off data generated by
KARMA modules A, B, C, and D, together with the
name of the chord that was detected.
1. Access the Combination P0: Play– KARMA GE
page.
When you play the keyboard or strike a pad 1–8, the
name of the chord detected by each KARMA
module will appear in the "Chord" field of KARMA
Module Info.
200
The displayed chord name is the chord that is
detected by the module selected by the front panel
MODULE CONTROL switch. The way in which
chords are detected will depend on the settings of
the KARMA module.
The CCs/Notes area shows the status of the control
data and note-on/off data generated by KARMA
modules A, B, C, and D, and the key zone settings of
the KARMA modules.
Note: Chord detection is affected by the KARMA
module's key zone settings (Combination 7–1b),
"Transpose" (Combination 7–3b: Module
Parameter-Control), and Dynamic MIDI
"Destination" (Combination 7–8) Chord Scan and
Smart Scan.
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. Access the Combination P0: Play– KARMA GE
page.
The lower part of the display shows the names of

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.

four KARMA modules simultaneously.
