7. Is there a way to set up the Chord Trigger buttons to
Mute/Unmute the 4 KARMA Modules, rather than play chords?
Yes, but it’s pretty tricky. This example uses Combi A005: Kaleidoscope.
(1) First, we must “disconnect” the Chord Buttons from doing what they
normally do (Chords) so that we can use them to Mute/UnMute. The only
way to really do this is to make them trigger a note in a key zone range
that is not set to play anything. So “Assign” all 4 Chord Trigger buttons
to play the (single) highest note of the keyboard (C7). (If you have an
external keyboard with 88 keys, you could figure out how to send a note
beyond the range of the Karma’s 61 keys, if desired.)
(2) Then, we need to remove this note from the key zones that are
triggering any GEs: (6.1-3) [Menu]-[KARM]-[KeyZ] Key Zone Top -> Set to
“B6” on all 4 Modules. ☞ Parameter Guide, Page 59. (Tip: with one of
Key Zone Top fields hilighted, press and hold the [Enter] Key and play a
B6 (2nd note from top of keyboard)).
(3) In this Combi, there is also a pad sound layered with all the GE
activity, so we need to remove this note from the pad sound, also: (3.3-1)
[Menu]-[KeyZ]-[Key] Top Key -> Set to “B6” on Timbres 1,2,3 (which are
all contributing to the Pad Sound). ☞ Parameter Guide, Page 52.
At this point, you should now be able to press the chord trigger buttons
and get absolutely nothing :-) Now, we can connect them to do the
muting/unmuting.
(4) First, we set the Chord Trigger Buttons to send MIDI on 4 CC
Numbers that Dynamic MIDI has available as Sources (not all CCs are
available as DynMIDI Sources, so check ☞ Parameter Guide, Page 234).
We decide to use CC Numbers 4, 64, 82 and 83. Go to Global (6.1-3)
[Menu]-[Ctrl]-[KARM2] -> Set Chord Triggers to MIDI CC#04, CC#64,
CC#82, and CC#83.
(5) Now, we need to route these into Dynamic MIDI and through to the
RTParms matrix. Go to Combi (6.4-3) [Menu]-[K. RT]-[DynMIDI] and set
it up to look like this (get rid of whatever is already set up):
A Pedal #04 000/127 T RTParm Control [x][ ][ ][ ] +
A Damper #64 000/127 T RTParm Control [ ][x][ ][ ] +
A FootSW #82 000/127 T RTParm Control [ ][ ][x][ ] +
A MIDI CC#83 000/127 T RTParm Control [ ][ ][ ][x] +
