the last Insert Effect can be sent to Send1/Send2; the others will be
grayed out.
6. How do I assign a footswitch to control the Speed of the Rotary
Organ effects?
Plug in a foot switch into the “Assignable Switch” Input. Then, in Global
(6.1-1) [Ctrl] [Foot], you assign it to one of the CC numbers – let’s use
Foot SW (CC# 82). Then, let’s use Program A007 BX3 Velo Switch. Go to
(7.2-1) [IFX] [Setup]- there you can see that the Rotary Effect is assigned
to IFX 2. Press the [IFX2] tab. Down at the bottom left, you will see
“Speed: Slow JS+Y#1” - the switch is currently assigned to the Joystick.
Change this to FSW#82 and you’re there.
7. The Karma has a Vocoder effect – but there are no audio inputs. I
thought that the main point of a vocoder was to modulate sound
through voice.
It’s true that there are no audio inputs on the Karma, so you can’t
control vocoding with a mic. However, the “Vocoder Effect” is still
available in the Effects lineup of the Karma. It’s true that the original
(musical instrument) purpose of vocoding was to allow the human voice
to modulate and “speak” on top of another sound, but you can actually
use the vocoder effect with any type of sounds. I don’t have the time at
the moment to get into a long discussion of it, but basically one sound is
the “carrier” (usually a synthy pad sound), and one sound is the
“modulator” (typically, the human voice). However, you can get
interesting and good results replacing the voice with a KARMA GE doing
a drum beat.
There is an example of this effect in Combi A004: Vocoder Rhythm. The
Drum GE is modulating the Pad sound and creating a very cool rhythmic
modulation that would be difficult to achieve any other way.
