a) Save the Song to disk as an SMF Format File (Save to Std MIDI File),
☞ Parameter Guide, Page 154. This is far easier than trying to record
the output of the Karma to an external sequencer in real-time. You can
then import this into your external sequencer. Then you will have all the
MIDI data, but not the Song Header Settings.
b) Erase all data in the Song, so that you have an “empty” Song Header.
You can do this using the “Erase Track” UTILITY of (5.2-b) [TEdit], and
selecting the [x] All Tracks checkbox. ☞ Parameter Guide, Page 97.
Then use either Method 1 or Method 2 above to save the empty Song
Header.
There’s no easy way to do this in 1 step (and before you ask, there’s not
going to be ;-). I suppose that if you use Method 2 (SysEx dump of Song
Settings), you could have a single Song (in the external sequencer) first
send the dump to the Karma, then insert space in all other tracks of the
song so that the Karma has time to receive the SysEx dump, after which
the song starts playing, but it wouldn’t start the song instantly.
Note that if you have many songs you are working on with an external
sequencer, you don’t need to do this individually for each one - you can
store a whole bunch of empty Song Headers in a single Song File, or send
a whole bunch as a single SysEx dump at the same time.
25. How do I create a new Song? If I’m ready recording a song
(Song 000) and want to start with a new recording session (Song
001), what must I do?
You cursor to the Song name, and enter a new number (with the
keypad), such as “25 – Enter”. It then asks you for how many bars to
initially create the song with, and there it is.
26. Can I change the transpose of a track separately from
everything else?
There is a Transpose value for each track:
(3.1-5/6) [Prm 1] - [Pitch 8/16] -> Transpose
