16. When I hook up the Karma with MIDI Cables to my PC, none of
the combis or programs play, just a bunch of popping and
cracking...
You probably have a MIDI Loop going on.
In other words, you are sending MIDI from the Karma into the PC,
sending it back into the Karma, which then sends it into the PC, which
then sends it into the Karma, etc. - this makes MIDI devices very
unhappy, and tends to make them appear to “lock up”, or sputter with
weird noises.
Unplug your MIDI Cables completely. Power down the Karma, then turn
it on again. Does everything work fine? Then this is your problem.
I can’t tell you exactly how to get rid of it (different PCs and PC
Sequencing Programs react differently), but you must either turn off
some sort of “Echo MIDI” or “Keyboard Thru” setting on your PC, or try
turning off “Local Control” in the Karma Global Mode (2.1-1).
17. How can I tell which Drum Sample is on a particular key?
To determine which Sample is on a particular drum key, you can go to
Global (5.1) [Menu]-[DKit]. Select the Drum Kit you want, then hold the
[ENTER] Key and play a note. The display switches to display the data
for the note that you just pressed. The Multisound (sample) number is
displayed near the bottom of the screen, i.e. “305 Cowbell 1”. Don’t
forget, a single key can have 2 different drum samples, and a velocity
switch point (High/Low tabs).
18. Is there a way to clear an entire bank of Programs or Combis
(or Initialize a single Program or Combi)?
Yes. Load an empty bank of Programs or Combis. If you have filled all
your banks and never backed up a copy of an empty bank, you can
download a completely empty PCG file from my site, and use it to load
single INITIALIZED Programs or Combis, or entire banks. See the Disk
Mode Section of this FAQ for info on loading single Programs/Combis or
single Banks. The INIT file is located on this page:
