Restoring the state of the sliders and switches
Youcandothisbyadjustingthecontrolswhileyou
watchtheslidersandswitchesinthescreen,oryoucan
usethefollowingmethod.
Restoringtheentireprogram
1. PresstheCOMPAREswitch.
Theentireprogramwillreverttothestateinwhichit
waswritten.(See“UsingCOMPARE”onpage 42.)
2. PresstheCOMP

Theprogramwillreturntotheeditedstate.
Restoring all sliders and switches of the selected
scene
1. Operatetheslidersandswitchestoeditthevalues
savedintheprogram.
TheLEDoftheselectedSCENEswitchwillblink.
2. HolddowntheRESETCONTROLSswitch,and
presstheSCENEswitch.
Allslidersandswitcheswillberesettotheirstored
settings,andtheSCENEswitchLEDwilllight.

Selecting a GE (Generated Effect)
WhenKARMAison,theKARMAmoduleusesaGEto
generatephrasesorpatterns.TheKRONOSprovidesa
widerangeofGEsthatyoucanuseforavarietyof
instruments,playingtechniques,andmusicalstyles
(See“ThestructureofKARMA”onpage 213).
Foreachofthepre‐loadedprograms,aGEthat’
