Tour of KARMA Functions
Assign new CHORD TRIGGERS to a Program:
1. Select Program A005 Acoustic Guitar, and then try the pre-programmed CHORD TRIGGERS for this sound.
2. Press the KARMA ON/OFF key to turn the KARMA function OFF (unlit).
3. Play a chord on the keyboard, and then press the KARMA ASSIGN key, followed by pressing CHORD TRIGGER 1.
4. Repeat the previous step, but assign new chords to CHORD TRIGGERS 2-4.
5. Now play each of the CHORD TRIGGER keys to hear your assigned chords.
6. Press the KARMA ON/OFF key to turn the KARMA function ON (lit), and then play each of the CHORD TRIGGERS
again.
7. Press the [F6] key (Note tab), and as you press the new CHORD TRIGGERS, note that the keyboard graphic
indicates where the CHORD TRIGGERS are assigned. Also note that the lower left of the display will show the actual
chords assigned as you trigger them.
Note: Alternatively, you can assign new chords to the CHORD TRIGGERS by first pressing the ASSIGN key, followed by playing a
chord on the keyboard, and finally pressing one of the CHORD TRIGGER keys. When using this method, to assign notes that
are farther apart than you can play comfortably, or are difficult to play simultaneously, hold down the first note and then add
additional notes one by one with the other hand. As long as you are holding the first note, the other notes (up to 7 more) can
be assigned without holding them down. When you are finished pressing all desired notes, release the first note and press the
CHORD TRIGGER key. Note that the velocity with which you play the last note is the velocity assigned to the entire chord.
GE’s (Generated Effects)
The phrases and patterns produced by a KARMA module are generated by a GE (Generated Effect). There are 1190
GE’s in memory, organized in 16 different categories. In Program mode, one GE can be used. In Combi, Song and Song
Play modes, up to four GE’s can be used. More in-depth information on the various GE parameters will be provided in
subsequent training manuals. For now, let’s get you started on the basics…
