Selecting and playing Programs and Combinations
1. To select Programs, press the [PROG] key. To select Combinations, press the [COMBI] key.
2. Then press the BANK keys to select a desired sound bank, followed by pressing the S or T keys, DIAL, or numeric
keypad to select sounds within a bank.
! Programs and Combinations are located in Banks A, B, and E (General MIDI Programs are in Bank G). Banks C and D
are available for loading EXB-PCM Expansion Board data, your own sounds, or commercially available sounds. Bank F
is for EXB-MOSS sounds.
To select Programs and Combinations by Category:
1. After selecting PROG or COMBI mode, press the [F8] key Ä Press the CURSOR T key to highlight “Select by
Category”, then press [F8] again to confirm “OK”
Ä Make your category selection (Cat:) using the VALUE S or T keys
or the DIAL, and use the CURSOR
S or T keys to select and play through the categorized sounds. (There are 16
categories available in both Program and Combi modes.)
2. The Select by Category function can also be accessed (in normal Play modes) by pressing the [./HOLD] key 1x. The left
side of the display will indicate “Cat:Hold” Use the VALUE
S or T keys or the DIAL key to choose sounds in the
previous category selected
(When you first access this function, make sure not to press the [./HOLD] key 2x, or sounds
will change in increments of 10, and not by category)
Ä To exit the “Cat.HOLD” function, press the [./HOLD] key 2x
(“Cat.HOLD” will disappear from the display).
Working with the Realtime Controllers
As you play, try working with the Realtime Control knobs, Joystick, and Switches 1 and 2 (far left of the front panel).
They’re all programmable for every sound, and just like the KARMA controls, any changes you make to these controls
can be sequenced.
Working with the KARMA function in Programs and Combinations
1. While in either Program or Combi mode, select a sound, then press the [F5] key to view the “K.RTC” tab (KARMA
Realtime Controls)
Ä Confirm that the KARMA [ON/OFF] key is ON (lit). (It’s located next to the VOLUME slider.)
2. Try the four CHORD TRIGGER buttons. Almost all of Karma’s sounds have chords pre-programmed by the KARMA
voicing team, which are appropriate for listening to each sound and triggering the KARMA functions.
New! Parameter values are now displayed when working with KRTC controls:
3. Turn one of the eight KARMA REALTIME CONTROL knobs Ä The display shows the parameters you can control, and
now shows the values of the parameters you are affecting
Ä Note that each knob may be displaying three fields of
numbers, because each knob can be assigned control of up to three parameters.
