IntheProgramP7:KARMA–ModuleParameters‐
ControlandTriggerpagesyoucaneditKARMA
moduleparameters.
Herewewilldescribehowtoeditthemostfrequently‐
usedparameters.Fordetailsontheotherparameters,
referto“7–3a:ProgramNameandTempo”on
page 112oftheParameterGuide.
Control – Transpose
Thisletsyoutransposethenotedatabeinginputtothe
KARMAmoduleinsemitonesteps.Thiswillcontrol
thepitchofthephraseorpatterngeneratedbythe
KARMAmodule.Forexampleifyouwanttolowera
bassphrasebyoneoctave,setthisto–12.
Control – Quantize Trig (Quantize Triggers)
Thisquantizesthetimingofthetriggeringproduced
bythenotedata.(See“SynchronizingKARMA”on
page 235)
Off(unchecked):Triggeringwilloccurthemoment
youplaythekey.
On(checked):Triggertimingwillbequantizedtothe
selectednoteintervalrelativetothebasetempo.
Note – Trigger
Thisspecifiesthetriggeringconditionsforthephrase
orpatterngeneratedbytheGE.Trytheseoutandsee
howtheydiffer.
Any:Triggeringwilloccureachtimeyouplayakey,
andthephraseorpatternwillplayfromthebeginning.
AKR:Triggeringwilloccuronlythefirsttimeyouplay
