Editing KARMA in Program mode
InProgrammodeyoucanuseonlyoneKARMA

Switching KARMA on/off
EachtimeyoupresstheKARMAON/OFFswitch,
KARMAwillbeturnedonoroff.Whenon,theswitch
LEDwillbelit.
Theon/offstatusissavedwhenyouwritetheprogram.
Selecting a GE
Here’showtoselecttheGEusedbytheKARMA
module.
1. GototheProgramP7:KARMA–GESetup/Key
Zonespage.
2. Press“LoadGEOptions”toopenthedialogbox,
turnAutoRTCSetupon,andchecktheUserRTC
ModelandResetScenesoptions.

3. Use“GESelect”toselecttheGEusedbythe
KARMAmodule.
Use“Tempo”tosetthetempoofthepatternorphrase
generatedbytheGE.
Use“KARMAT.Sig”tospecifythetimesignatureof
thepatternorphrasegeneratedbytheGE.Ifyousel
ect
GE/TSthetimesignaturespecifiedbytheGEwillbe
used;withanyothersetting,thetimesignaturewill
changetemporarily.
TheKRONOSprovidesnumerouspresetGEsthatcan
beusedforawiderangeofinstruments,playing
