Basic functions
About the KARMA function
GE parameters and KARMA module parameters can
be assigned to the KARMA Realtime Controls knobs
and switches, allowing you to control these phrases in
realtime while you play, so that you can freely modify
the phrases or patterns.
Dynamic MIDI
Dynamic MIDI is a function that lets you use MIDI
control messages or the controllers of this instrument
to control specific aspects of the KARMA function.
By using this you can control the KARMA module in
realtime in various ways, such as using the joystick to
control strummed guitar phrases, using a foot switch to
switch the KARMA module between Run/Mute, or
using a damper pedal to control Latch for the KARMA
module.
KARMA Realtime Controls
These are front panel controllers that are dedicated to
the KARMA function. Their settings are saved for each
program, combination, or song. (☞p.27)
[ON/OFF] key
This turns the KARMA function on/off.
[LATCH] key
When this is on, the phrase or pattern will continue
playing even after you take your hand off of the key-
board or the [CHORD TRIGGER] key.
Knobs [1]–[8], switches [1]/[2]
These can be used to control GE parameters or
KARMA module parameters in realtime while you
play, so that you can freely modify the phrase or pat-
tern being generated by the KARMA module. (“RT
Parm” specifies the parameter that will be controlled.)
[SCENE] key
The settings of knobs [1]–[8] and switches [1]/[2] are
saved as SCENE 1 and SCENE 2.
CHORD TRIGGER [1]–[4] keys
When you press one of these keys, the specified chord
(up to eight notes and one velocity setting) will be
sounded, causing the KARMA function to operate.
Suitable chords are pre-assigned to these keys for each
of the preloaded programs and combinations, and you
can use the [ASSIGN] key to easily assign your own
chords. (number of section explaining how to assign
Chord Trigger Keys. ☞p.27)
