Section 8: KARMA Function (26)
1. How can I change KARMA Scenes with a footswitch?
1) In the Global Mode, go to (6.1-1) [Menu]->[Ctrl]->[Foot].
2) Set Foot Switch Assign to “Foot Sw CC #82”.
3) (6.1-3) [KARM2] -> Scene -> Set to CC #82.
4) Plug an additional footswitch into the back jack labeled “Foot Switch”.
☞ Parameter Guide, Pages 145-146.
You can now change Scenes with the Footswitch - if it is a toggle type
footswitch, it will change back and forth each time you press it. If it is a
damper pedal type footswitch, it will change Scenes as long as you hold it
down.
Doing it this way, you can still have a regular damper pedal plugged in to
damper, and get both effects. Or you could skip step 1 and 2, and just
set step 3 to CC #64 and use the damper to change scenes, but this
might interfere with normal damper settings.
2. How do I use a footswitch to change individual RT Controls?
Here’s an example using Program A004: ![Tricky Kit]!
1) Make sure you have your damper pedal plugged in to the Damper
jack.
2) Check the top-level K.RTC Page (1.1-4). Here, we can experiment a bit
and find that turning KARMA SW1 on/off brings in an additional drum
pattern for more complexity. We can also find that knob 8 controls
adding repeats to the beat. We will substitute foot switch control for
these.
3) (6.4-3) [Menu]->[K RT]->[DynMIDI]. Set the first row to look like this:
A/Damper #64 000/127 M RTParm Control
This routes the selected controller (Damper Pedal) into an RTParm
Control “matrix”.
4) (6.3-1) [Menu]->[K GE]->[GE P..4]. Here, we need to locate the parms
that we want to control with the pedal. We find that Parm #2 is the one
that is currently assigned to SW1. So instead, we assign it to “Dyn1”
(row 1 of the Dynamic MIDI settings we just set up. If we had used row 2
to make the damper assignment, we would set this to Dyn2.) Test it out
- you can now turn the additional drum pattern on/off with the damper.
5) (6.3-3) [GE P..12] Here we can locate Parm #9, Repetitions, which is
set to Knob 8. So we change this also to “Dyn1”, and now the pedal is
bringing in the extra pattern AND adding repeats. Want the repeats
