About the KARMA function
4 The settings for timbres 1–8 of the combination
will be copied to Tracks 1–8. All other common
parameters such as effect and KARMA function
settings will be copied to the song.
5 Set Track Select to the track of the same MIDI
channel as the global MIDI channel.
Press the [ON/OFF] key to turn the KARMA func-
tion on. When you then play the keyboard or press a
[CHORD TRIGGER] key, the KARMA function will
begin playing just as for the combination. (Depend-
ing on the track you selected by “Track Select,” the
result may not be identical to the combination.
Select a track that uses the same MIDI channel as the
global MIDI channel.)
6 Perform multi-track recording. As described in the
section on multi-track recording (☞p.72), make
preparations for recording. In the Preferences
page, turn “Multi REC” On (checked).
7 Access the SEQ 1.1: Play/REC, Prog..8, and Prog..16
pages.
All tracks will be set to REC. Here you will set all
tracks to PLAY or MUTE except for the track that
you wish to record. However in cases where you
wish to record a performance using a combination,
and there are no previously-recorded tracks, you
may leave all tracks in the REC status.
8 Press the [REC/WRITE] key and then the [START/
STOP] key to start realtime recording. (☞BG p.62
Realtime recording on a track)
You can operate the KARMA Realtime Controls
knobs and switches and the [SCENE] key etc. while
recording, and the changes in the pattern and tone
will be recorded just as you perform.
The tempo of the song and the KARMA function
cannot be set independently.
KARMA function settings in Song Play
mode
In Song Play mode you can use four KARMA modules
(modules [A], [B], [C], and [D]). In the same way as for
a combination, you can use separate phrases or pat-
terns to play programs such as drums, bass, guitar, and
strings, or combine the four KARMA modules and six-
teen track programs in various ways.
The structure of the KARMA-related parameters is the
same as for a combination. (☞p.83 “KARMA function
settings in Combination mode”)
In Song Play mode, you can use the KARMA function
to perform along with the playback of a SMF (Standard
MIDI File). You can use the KARMA Realtime Controls
knobs and switches and [CHORD TRIGGER] keys etc.
to control the phrases and patterns in realtime while
you perform. You can also make settings so that the
phrase produced by the KARMA module will change
when you change the track that you are playing.
Data from the SMF will not be input to the
KARMA module. Nor can note data from the SMF
be used to trigger phrases etc. of the KARMA func-
tion.
As an example, here’s how to specify separate pro-
grams on two tracks for performance from the key-
board, and switch KARMA module phrases when you
switch between these two tracks.
1 Access the S.PLAY 1.1: Play Prog..8 page.
For tracks 1 and 2, select the programs that you wish
to play from the keyboard.
2 Access the S.PLAY 1.1: Play page.
By setting “Play (Track Select)” to Track 01 (Ch01),
you can play A001: Acoustic Piano from the key-
board. By setting this to Track 02 (Ch02), you can
play A023: M1 Organ.
3 Access the S.PLAY 6.1: KARMA MIDI I/O page.
Make MIDI I/O settings for the KARMA modules
so that KARMA module [A] plays track 1, and
KARMA module [B] plays track 2. (☞p.83

mode” “KARMA function settings in Combina-
tion mode”)
