Multi-track recording using settings copied from a Combination
Thepre‐loadedcombinationsincludeadiversearray
ofcombinationsthattakefulladvantageofKARMA.
Youcanplaythesecombinationstostimulateideasfor
songs,andrecordyourplayingtocreatebasictracks.
Manyofthesecombinationsconsistoftimbresand
KARMAmoduleswithdifferingMIDIchannel
settings.

consistingofmultipleMIDIchannels.
1. We’llstartbycopyingthesettingsofa
combinationintoasong.GototheSequencerP0:
