19. How can I turn the KARMA function On and Off in the middle
of a sequence?
To turn the KARMA Switch On/Off in different parts of the song, we first
need to assign a MIDI CC Number to it:
Global (6.1-3) [Menu]-[Ctrl]-[KARM2]-> KARMA On/Off -> Set to MIDI
CC#14. ☞ Parameter Guide, Page 146.
Now, you can insert CC 14 events into the sequencer at various places to
turn KARMA On/Off. To insert a CC event, you use:
Seq (5.2-1) [Menu]->[TEdit]-[Utility]-[Event Edit]
☞ Parameter Guide, Pages 96-97.
Make sure you select a track that is sending to KARMA for the inserted
events or it won’t work. Also note that you may need to insert an “Off”
value (0) directly before the first “On” value (127) to get it to work.
20. What are some techniques for getting more songs into
available memory?
There are several ways to create really long pieces in the Korg sequencer:
- After recording, make Patterns out of certain tracks and measures,
using the “Get from Track” and “Put to Track” commands. ☞ Parameter
Guide, Page 90 - 93. I have had to use this technique quite often to get
long factory demo sequences into the available memory. If you have a
drum track that just repeats over and over, with no changes, you can
sometimes get back 10% or more memory by making a pattern out of 4
bars, and then “putting” that pattern ID every 4 bars, instead of the
same data.
- Divide your song into sections (i.e. Verses, Choruses, etc.) If you
create each section as a separate song (or divide it up later into different
songs), you can use the Cue List feature to play back the sections as
many times and in whatever order you choose. (2.2-1) [Menu]-[Cue].
