Korg OASYS musical instruments Operation Manual page 209

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 the KARMA function is off, all KARMA modules
will be stopped. If the KARMA function is on, the
KARMA module(s) you specify here will operate.
1. Access the Combination P7: KARMA– GE
Setup/Key Zones page.
Overview - What is KARMA?
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.
If you turn "Solo" On (checked), only that KARMA
module will sound. This is useful when you are
selecting a GE, or when you want to audition the
phrase that a module is generating.
Modules whose "Solo" is On (checked) will sound
even if "Run" is Off (unchecked).
The "Solo" setting is cleared when you switch to
another combination. It is not saved when you write
the combination.
KARMA module A will sound.
KARMA module B will sound.
KARMA modules A and B will sound.
Note: If " " is not shown in the display, "Run"
has been assigned as a performance realtime
performance. The KARMA SWITCHES etc. will
control "RUN."
KARMA module MIDI I/O channel settings
The MIDI input/output channel setting for each
KARMA module and the MIDI channel setting of each
timbre together determine how the KARMA modules
will play the timbres.
If a KARMA module's MIDI output channel matches
the MIDI channel of a timbre, the phrase or pattern
generated by that KARMA module (if it's operating)
will play that timbre. For details on making these
settings, see "KARMA function settings in
Combination mode" on page 206 and "7–1c: MIDI
I/O" on page 376 of the Parameter Guide.
