Go to (1.2-1) [Prog...8]. Cursor to the Program for Track01, and set to
A001 Piano (use the Bank Key A, use the numeric keypad keys 0 0 1,
press ENTER). Cursor to the Program for Track 2, set to A006 Bass.
Cursor to Program for Track 3, set to A004 Drums.
Now go to Track Select (1.1-1c) ☞ Parameter Guide, Page 71. This is
the Track you are playing, and the MIDI data is sent on the
corresponding MIDI Channel. Set to Track 01. Play the keyboard. You
get Piano. Change this to Track 2. Play the keyboard. You get Bass.
Change this to Track 3. Play the keyboard - you get Drums.
Set Track Select Back to Track 1. Turn Karma On. Play a chord - you
get a default arpeggio on the Piano.
Set Track Select to Track 2. Turn Karma On. Play a chord - you get
nothing. Why? Go to (6.1-2) [MIDI I/O]. KARMA Module 1 is looking for
input on Channel 1. It is also sending to Channel 1. The bass is on
Channel 2. You are now playing on Channel 2. Change Module A Input
and Output Channel to 2. Now you get a default arpeggio on the bass.
Go back to (1.1-1c) and change Track Select to Track 3. Again, if you
want KARMA to work, you must go back to (6.1-2) and change the
input/output channel of Module A to Channel 03. Now you get a default
arpeggio on the drums.
Is there a simpler way? Yes - “Track Channel” (TCh). Go to (6.1-2), and
set the Input and Output Channels of Module A to “TCh”. Now go back
to (1.1-1c) and select Track 01. Turn Karma On - piano arp. Select
Track 02 - bass arp. Select Track 03 - drum arp. Track Channel means
it follows whatever track is selected in Track Select.
This is how it works when you are using the Internal Sequencer. Once
you understand this, you may be able to apply this knowledge to your
external sequencer.
For example, when you have Local Control OFF, you are sending into
your sequencer on whatever channel you have Track Select set to. So
Setting a KARMA Module Input Track to “TCh” doesn't necessarily work
correctly, because your ext sequencer re-channelizes the data. If you
play on Track 1, but then select Track 2 in your ext seq, it will send data
back to the Karma on Channel 2, which IS NOT THE TRACK CHANNEL.
You could make sure that your Track Select Channel in the Karma is
always the same as the Track you have selected in your external seq, or
