So, what [x] Init K.RTC does is internally set the knob value to “64”, as if
it was in the center position, so that you actually get to hear the “25”
that was originally set in the GE, and not the value as modified by the
knob’s current position. This means that after doing this, the physical
positions of the knobs may not match what you are actually hearing.
Note that you could also get this same effect basically by turning all
knobs to the center position after loading a GE. With a switch, there’s
not really a center position, so in the case of parameters that are
assigned to switches, it's difficult to know whether you are hearing the
GE as intended or not.
Also note that this is in fact a non-linear setting, which may or may not
be what you want, if you leave it assigned to this knob. In practice, we
tried to make all settings linear where possible, and then use the knobs
to adjust it to the desired actual values in the 2 scenes (which are saved,
unlike the positions of the 4 Sound knobs above the Joystick.)
Note that if you are starting with a sound that has no KARMA
Assignments whatsoever, you can always load GEs and get the original
sound because no knobs/switches are assigned in (6.3) or (6.4-1/2).
If you are modifying Karma Factory data, another approach is to first
Initialize the Karma Module using the “Init KARMA Module” [UTILITY]
and get rid of all knob/switch assignments before hunting around
through GEs - the knob/switch assignments rarely translate between
GEs anyway.
17. I’m writing a Combi. When I move from one chord to another
with the left hand, I always retrigger the KARMA effect. So if I
don’t change right on the beat, it throws the beat off. Am I doing
something wrong when creating new combis?
It’s not really doing “something wrong” – it’s a matter of personal
preference, and the effect that you are trying to achieve.
The setting involved here is “Note Trigger Mode”, on (6.2-2). If this is set
to “Any” or “AKR”, then each time you play a new note, you retrigger the
start of the groove. If this is set to “1”, then only the first note you play
starts the groove, and it just keeps looping, and changing chords doesn’t
retrigger anything (this is your more normal “arranger” kind of mode).
Note that if envelopes are being used, they have their own Trigger Mode
(also on the same page), and can be doing something different than the
Notes. If you had an envelope doing a volume swell, you could set it so
that Notes were “1” (so playing new chords didn’t restart the groove), but
