2. How do I copy a Program to the Sequencer, so that it sounds the
same as in the Program Mode? There’s a “Copy From Combi”
Utility, but not a “Copy From Program.”
Copying just a single Program with KARMA into the sequencer is quite a
bit more involved than copying a Combi (you would think it wouldn’t be,
but I’m hoping that eventually there will be a “Copy from Program” Utility
that would do all of the following):
Let’s take the following example, using Program A004: Tricky Kit:
Go to Sequencer Mode, with a new song.
(1) Press [F2] under LCD ([Prog...8].) Set the Program for track 1 to
“A004: Tricky Kit”.
(2) [Menu] -> [KARM] -> [Open] -> [Setup]. Use Utility to locate “Copy
KARMA Module”. Press OK. Select “A004: Tricky Kit”. Make sure that
[x]KARMA RT & Panel Setting is On (checked). Hit OK.
(3) [Menu] -> [IFX] -> [Open] -> [Setup]. Use Utility to locate “Copy Insert
Effects”. Press OK. Select “A004” again, and turn “ALL” On (checked).
Press OK.
(4) Check what the Bus Select for the Program is set to, so that you can
manually set it the same way. Go to Program Mode [Menu]->[Bus]-
>[Open]. In this case, we can see that “Use Drum Kit Setting” is checked,
so we go back to Seq Mode [Menu] -> [Bus] -> [Open] -> [Bus..8]. Set
“Bus Select” for Track 1 to “D.Kit”. (Note that nearly all Drum Programs
will be using this setting. In the case of other programs, this will almost
always be set to “IFX1”, but it doesn’t hurt to check.)
(5) [Menu] -> [MFX] -> [Open] -> [Setup]. Use Utility to locate “Copy
Master Effects”. Press OK. Select “A004” again, and turn “ALL” On
(checked). Press OK.
(6) Set Tempo to 085 (Same as original Program).
You have now copied a Program into the Sequencer, along with all
related KARMA and Insert/Master FX. It should sound the same as the
Program.
3. Certain Combis don’t work in the Sequencer after I copy them!
It has to do with the way the MIDI Channel Routing is set up for KARMA,
in certain Combis that do not use any timbres on the global channel.
Let’s take an example, Combi B021: Ravalogue.
If you look at this in Combi Mode, you will see that this uses timbres 1, 2
and 3, on MIDI Channels 2,3 & 4. (3.1-1) [Menu]->[Parm1]->[MIDI]
