the KARMA function is turned on. So if you “wasted” a Module by setting
the Key Zone in the KARMA function so that there was no way to trigger
it, you could then just use the Transmit CCs to alter the release. But
note that this only works when the KARMA switch is On. When you turn
it Off, the release would go back to the current setting.
How to do this?
Example using Combi A002: KARMA Orchestra. This is currently using 2
GEs. We will turn these off, and use a 3rd to just modify the release time
when the KARMA function is turned on.
(6.1-1) [Menu]-[KARM]-[Setup] -> Uncheck “Run” for Modules A & B.
Check “Run” for Module C (which is set to GE 0000).
(6.1-2) [Menu]-[KARM]-[MIDI I/O] -> Set the Output Channel for Module
C to “02” (which happens to be the Strings).
Turn KARMA On and Latch On. Play a chord - you should hear the
default Arp GE playing the Strings. We want to “disconnect it”. Turn
KARMA Off and go to:
(6.1-3) [Menu]-[KARM]-[Key Z]-> Set “Key Zone Bottom” for Module C to
“G9”. Turn KARMA On. Verify that nothing happens when you play a
chord. Turn KARMA Off again.
(6.2-1) [Menu]-[K Mdl]-[Parm1] -> Set TxCC1 Number to “072” (CC #72 is
F/A Release Time). A value of “64” will make it the same as it is in the
Program (center = as stored). Lesser will would shorten it, larger values
will lengthen it. Set the Value to “100” for now.
With KARMA Off, play some short notes. Turn KARMA On – the release
on the strings should be longer, since the setting of “100” is transmitted.
Turn KARMA Off - now it’s shorter again.
To have it affect the flute layer also, you would need to put the flute on
the same channel as the strings: (3.1-1) [Menu]-[Prm1]-[MIDI Channel].
Set Timbre 4 to “02”. Turn KARMA Off/On and experiment again.
