Note that changing this setting doesn’t always change the damper
operation, because this particular setting only affects what happens
when KARMA is ON. If the Damper is disconnected when KARMA is OFF
(also), then you must go to another place:
(4.1-2a) [Menu]-[MIDI2]-[MIDI2-2] -> Damper CC#64.
Parameter Guide, Page 55.
Also note that if you are doing this to a Program or Combi, you should be
aware that the Damper may be assigned in the Dynamic MIDI section to
perform some other operation. You should check this and make sure
there is not a conflict - you may want to remove the Damper from
Dynamic MIDI in this case:
(6.4-3) [Menu]-[K RT]-[DynMIDI]-> Source -> locate Damper CC#64.

11. I have my Karma’s headphone jack hooked up with my
computer’s microphone jack when I record to computer.. yet my
songs don’t sound really stereo.
You really DON’T want to use the headphone output and the Mic Input to
record professional sounding audio. This is a decidedly Lo-Fi approach.
You want to use the L/R Audio Outputs on the Back, or the L/R outputs
of a mixer, and run them into a mixer or the L/R audio in on a computer
sound card.
Anyway, you probably *could* use the headphone out (but the Signal To
Noise ratio and harmonic distortion are not as good as the back outputs),
but if you are only getting one side, or weird cancellations, then you are
probably not making correct contact with the pins of the headphone jack.
Or you do not have the correct cable. The headphone Jack is a stereo
T/R/S (Tip/Ring/Sleeve) - if you are not using a stereo T/R/S cable, you
will only get one side - or worse, a weird kind of phase-inverted sound.
12. I am using another keyboard to play my new KARMA keyboard
(through MIDI). I’ve noticed that the other keyboard doesn’t
produce the same intensity as that of actually playing the
KARMA keyboard.
Different keyboards, especially older ones, send out the velocity of notes
over different ranges. You can adjust this somewhat by changing the
Karma’s Velocity Curve. Global (1.1-1) [System] -> Velocity Curve.
