Linking KARMA settings to Program changes
KARMAsettingscanbesavedindividuallyforeach
Program.Normally,whenyouselectanewProgram,
itsKARMAsettingswillbeloadedaswell.Insome
cases,however,youmaywishtotryoutdifferent
ProgramswhilekeepingtheKARMAsettingsthe

Editing KARMA in Combination mode
InCombinationmode(andSequencermode)youcan
usefourKARMAmodules(modulesA,B,C,andD).
Inacombination,youcanusethefourKARMA
modulesandthesixteentimbreprogramsinavariety

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.Thison/offstatusissavedwhenyou
writetheCombination.
WhenKARMAisoff,allKARMAmodulesA,B,C,
andDwillbeoff.WhenKARMAison,theKA

“Run” and “Solo” settings
1. GototheCombinationP7:KARMA–GE
Setup/KeyZonespage.

CombinationP0:Play–KARMAGEpage.
2. Use“Run”and“Solo”toselectthemodule(s)that
willoperatewhenKARMAison.

Selecting a GE
Here’showtoselecttheGEusedbyeachKARMA
module.(See“EditingKARMAinProgrammode”on

2. Press“LoadGEOptions”toopenthedialogbox,
turnAu
toRTCSetupon,andchecktheUserRTC

thepatternorphrasegeneratedbytheGE.Ifyouselect
GE/TSthetimesignaturespecifiedbytheGEforeach
modulewillbeused;withanyothersetting,thetime
