In a track, in a List Edit Window, create a new “System Exclusive” event.
A window will open up, with an area for entering hexadecimal code. Type
the following (or paste) exactly as shown:
F0 42 30 5D 4E 02 F7
This changes the Karma to Program Mode.
F0 42 30 5D 4E 00 F7
This changes the Karma to Combi Mode.
Note that if your Global Channel is not 1, you would need to change the
third value, where the number is 3 followed by the (Channel - 1); in other
words, channel 1 is 30, channel 10 is 39, channel 16 is 3F (don’t forget,
this is hexadecimal).
Also note that you must enable SysEx in the Karma - by default, it is off.
Global (2.1-1b) -> Exclusive -> On. Parameter Guide, Page 139.
10. How should I set my OMS Setup for the Karma?

11. I’m using SysEx to change between Combi and Prog modes.
The only problem with this is that if I send a Program Change
message immediately follow the mode switch the Program
Change gets missed.
When you change modes from Combi to Program, there is a lot going on
in the synth. First it has to completely reconfigure the architecture, the
editing pages, then, it loads the Program or Combi data. Your program
change is getting lost while it is still reconfiguring the architecture. Note
that this is true for any other MIDI messages also (such as trying to
darken the filter with CC 74), but not for notes.
