desired connections have been made as described 
in “Connections” (☞p.12).
1. Turning the power on
1 Press KARMA Music Workstation’S [POWER] 
switch to turn on the power.
The LCD screen will display the name of your

(The following graphic shows the factory-set LCD 
screen . The version number is subject to change 
without notice.)
2 Turn on your powered monitors or stereo amp.
3 Raise this instrument’s [VOLUME] slider to an 
appropriate level, and adjust the volume of your 
powered monitors or stereo amp.
2. Turning the power off
1 Set this instrument’s [VOLUME] slider and the vol-
ume of your powered monitor or stereo amp to zero.

3 Press this instrument’s [POWER] switch to turn off

Never turn off the power while data is being writ-
ten into internal memory.
If the power is turned off while processing is being 
performed, memory write operations will not be com-
pleted correctly. If this occurs, this instrument will 
automatically initialize its internal memory so that it 
will operate correctly. This is not a malfunction.
While data is being written, the LCD screen will 
indicate “Now writing into internal memory.” 
Data is written into internal memory by the follow-
ing operations.
• Writing (updating) a Program, Combination, 
Global Setting, or Drum Kit
• Loading Program, Combination, Global 
Setting, or Drum Kit data in Disk mode
• Receiving a MIDI data dump for Program, 
Combination, Global Setting, or Drum Kit data
The mode and page that will be selected when the 
power is turned on
The state of this instrument when the power is turned 
on will depend on the setting of “Power On Mode” 
(GLOBAL 1.1: System, Preference page).
If “Power On Mode” is Reset (factory setting), this 
instrument will automatically selects the Combination 
mode 1.1: Play.
If “Power On Mode” is Memorize, this instrument will 
be in the mode and page that were last selected when 
the power was turned off.
The Memorize setting will remember the mode and 
page that were last selected, the combination number 
that was last selected in Combination mode, and the 
program number that was last selected in Program 
mode. If another mode is selected when the power is 
turned on, you can press the [COMBI] key or [PROG] 
key to select the 1.1: Play page with the last-selected 
combination number or program number.
The LCD screen when separately sold options  are 
installed (When the power on)
This instrument allows you to install separately sold 
options.
When the power is turned on, the type of installed 
options will be displayed. After installing an option, be 
sure to check this display to verify that the option was 
installed correctly. If the option is not displayed here 
even though it was installed, it was not installed cor-
rectly. Turn off the power and re-install the option.
