Setting KARMA’s keyboard zone
Here’showtospecifythezoneofkeysthatwilltrigger
KARMA.Forexampleyoumightmakesettingssothat
thekeysatthebottomofthekeyboardwilltrigger
phrases,andkeysabovethisrangecanbeplayed
normally.
1. GototheProgramP7:KARMA–GESetup/Key
Zonespage.(Seethediagra
minstep1of
“SelectingaGE”)
2. UsetheKeyZonesBottomandToptospecifythe
keyzone.
Anynotesthatfallwithinthisrange—includingboth
playingonthelocalkeyboardandnotesreceivedfrom
MIDIIN—willbesenttotheKARMAmodule.
Intheexampleshownabove,thenotesfromC‐1
throughB3arebeinginputtotheKARMAmodule.
WhenyouplayB3oralowernote,KARMAwill
generateaphraseorpattern.
3. If“ThruInZone”and“ThruOutZone”areon
(checked),thenotesyouplayonthekeyboardwill
playinadditiontotheph

Thesetwofieldsarethesettingsforinsideandoutside
thekeyzone.
Youcanuse“TransposeInZone”and“TransposeOut
Zone”totransposethenotesplayedonthekeyboard
insemitonesteps.
Intheexampleshownabove,theB3andlowerkeys
