anything in Combi Mode (Combi Mode has 8 timbres, Sequencer Mode
has 16 tracks.) ☞ Basic Guide, Page 52.
7. Weird problem: nearly every Combi seems to be changed – but
just on one track. For example Combi B000/KARMA HipHop
should have Prog B017 on timbre 4 - but it shows Prog B000.
It seems that you have a MIDI routing problem. Unplug any MIDI
cables - does it still happen? You are probably sending a program
change back thru to yourself (i.e. you change to Combi A025, and
suddenly any timbres that are set to the Global MIDI Channel change to
Program A025.) Note: this could also happen in Sequencer Mode.
With a properly set up MIDI system, this should not be happening – but
this is not the fault of the Karma. Something in the way you are routing
your gear is causing a “loop” problem.
Try going to Global and turning off the ability to change Programs and/or
Combis via program change messages. This is a temporary fix, but
should solve your problem until you figure out where the echoing
through is happening.

8. I have heard that certain early units had a noise problem. How
do I know if I have it?
Yes, certain “early” units had a bad IC chip that caused crackling at the
ends of certain waveforms. While Korg has explained that this cannot be
narrowed to a specific serial number range, it is my opinion that “early”
means serial numbers before 000650. Try this simple test:
Select Program A004 Tricky Kit. Play the F or the G below Middle C, and
hold the note. As the sound dies out, if you hear a DEFINITE LOUD
CRACKLING, then your unit is affected. Anything that is not actual
crackling, then you don’t. In other words, don’t turn your volume WAY
UP and start to imagine that some tiny perceived noise at the end of the
sample (which happens on many waveforms, due to the limitations of
sampling in 16 bits) is the problem, when it isn’t. If you have it, you will
DEFINITELY KNOW IT when you do the above test. Otherwise, you’re
fine. If you have to turn your system up to 11 as the sound is dying out
and then you think you *might* hear something, you don’t have it.
