phrases, grooves and other musical effects that can be
altered and randomized in real-time.

Each GE contains over 400 parameters, and up to 16 of
them are available for every Program or Combination,
for editing or assignment to the 10 KARMA Realtime
Controls.
Ø Create and control your music in a
whole new way
Assign and control GE parameters such as harmony,
scale, humanize, randomization and complexity of
rhythm, MIDI control changes, chord control, and much
more! A far greater variety of parameters than any
previous music generating function (like arpeggiators or
phrase sequencers)!
Ø Syncs to MIDI clock or internal
sequencer
For live performance, and when recorded to the internal,
or external sequencers, and even used in conjunction
with the RPPR and Song Play functions!
Ø Programs can use 1 GE For intricate melodic phrases, drum grooves and more.

Play mode can use up to 4 GE’s
For split, layer, velocity switch and per track assignment
of multiple GE phrases and patterns!

A full-function sequencer with extensive recording,
editing and mixing capabilities. Combined with the
KARMA real-time control and awesome multi-effects
power, this is the perfect tool for “ready-to-master”
music!
Loopable tracks and the innovative Cue List let users
work the way they like, creating their music in short
segments to be chained together, as long linear
performances, or any method in-between.
Song Templates, preset patterns and the unique RPPR
function make it easy to get started writing a song.
Innovative RPPR (Realtime Pattern Play and
Record) function
Each Song can hold an RPPR set
Up to 72 Patterns per set
Patterns can play manually, once, or loop endlessly
The KARMA function can be used in conjunction
with RPPR!
RPPR lets you assign musical phrases to be triggered in
real-time from the keyboard. It's great for live
performance and as a musical way to play parts into the
sequencer. And the RPPR data goes out via MIDI so it
can be used to trigger other external MIDI gear as well!
