43. My external sequencer is working fine until bar 64 or so, then
it loses sync with the KARMA. The numbers stop and apparently
KARMA resets.
It’s because you are actually running the Karma sequencer in tandem
with your external sequencer, and the song has only 64 bars in it, so
when you hit bar 65, it stops and causes things (such as KARMA) to
reset.
You need to lengthen the number of measures in the Karma Song. You
do this on (5.2) [UTILITY] -> Insert Measure. In the dialog, simply enter
Measure 64 as the Insert Point, check the “All Tracks” checkbox, and put
200 (or something that is longer than the sequence you are currently
working on) in the “Length” field. Don’t worry about the Time Signature
(not applicable).
44. How can I apply “Swing Feels” to tracks that I have created
from scratch (i.e. not using the KARMA Function)?
1) Make a 2 or 4 measure groove (use loop so you can build it up a little
at a time) with the note quantization (Resolution) set to 16th notes (1.1-
1a) “Reso”. You now have a kicking groove - except that it has no swing
since 16th note was the basis for quantization.
POWER TIP !!! - On the Preference page when you use “Loop all Tracks”
and are recording, the “Remove Data” button becomes solid text instead
of grayed out text. If you want to play the drum kit to find the next sound
to add to your groove without recording it, simply hit this Remove Data
Checkbox and don’t play any notes that you recorded earlier. Instant
auditioning while the groove plays!
2) Go to the Track Edit page (5.2-1).
3) Hit the UTILITY button to pop up the list of editing options you can do
to a sequence track - select Quantize.
4) Make sure the From Measure is 001 and end is somewhat higher (I set
it to 200 on default if I’m just doing a quick groove).
5) Where it says Resolution, set it to 24th notes (16th note triplets).
6) The KEY is Intensity. Set it to 15 - 50 percent. The power is that you
can go to this page and keep quantizing a track to gradually increase the
amount of swing that the track will use.
