play from the keyboard), and the output of 4 KARMA modules goes to
Channels 2,3,4 and 5. Then you go to (3.1-1/2) (Seq)->[Menu]->[Parm1]
->[MIDI..8/16], and you can see that the tracks are set to MIDI channels
1,2,3,4,5. So in this case, you could record the output of KARMA by
enabling record on tracks 2,3,4,5. You could also record the notes you
play on the keyboard by enabling track 1.

10. I recorded a Combi into an external sequencer. On playback, I
am getting some weird problems like polyphony dropping out,
hesitation of chords at the beginning of bars, etc.
When recording a Combi from Seq mode into an external sequencer,
make sure you are not sending the same Channel twice to the external
sequencer. I have made this mistake myself several times.
In other words, if you have 2 tracks/timbres set to channel 05 playing 2
different guitar programs using the output of 1 KARMA GE, you should
only set one of the Track’s Status (3.1-1/2) to “BOTH,” and leave the
other on “INTERNAL” - otherwise, you will be sending the data twice, and
the external sequencer will record two notes for every 1 note (on top of
each other), double the controllers, etc. This will all end up on the same
track and is virtually unnoticeable when you view it graphically. It’s easy
to see in List or Event Edit Modes. This can cause all sorts of weird
behavior on playback, as you are sending the same data twice to the
Karma.
The integrated internal sequencer of the Karma is smart enough to
handle this situation so that you don’t have to worry about it – it only
records one of the tracks of data, even if both are enabled.
11. I only want to record one track of a Combi I copied into the
sequencer. For example, I copied Combi A015 “All Was Lost” into
tracks 1-8. I only want to record the drums. Do I have to use
multi –track record, or is there a better way?
There are 2 ways you could accomplish this. First, we need to determine
where the drums are.
(6.1-1) [Menu] ->[KARMA] ->[Setup]. We can see that drums are on
KARMA Module A.
(6.1-2) [Menu] ->[KARMA] ->[MIDI I/O]. We can see that Module A is
Track 4, MIDI Channel 2. We can also see that all the KARMA Modules
are expecting MIDI Input on Channel 1 (Track 1).
