Recording using KARMA (single-track recording)
Inthefollowingexample,we’lluseKARMAtorecord
adrumpatternontrack1.
1. Selectthedesireddrumprogramfortrack1as
describedintheprocedureforrealtime‐recording
atrackandforpreparingtorecord(seep.78).
Alsomakeanyothernecessarysettingsforrecording,
suchassetting“TrackSe
lect”to
T01.
2. GototheSequencerP7:KARMA–GESetup/Key
Zonespage.
MakeMIDII/OsettingsfortheKARMAmodulesso
thatKARMAmoduleAwillplaytrack1(See“Editing
KARMAinCombinationmode”onpage 227).
ForKARMAmoduleA,setthe“InputChannel”and
“OutputChannel”to01and01respectiv

3. SelectaGEforKARMAmoduleA,andsetits
parameters.
YouarefreetoselectaGEandmakesettingsas
desired,butinthisexamplewe’llusethe“Copy
KARMAModule”pagemenucommandtocopyallof
theprogram’sKARMAsettings.Thisisaneasywayto
setupandrecordthephraseorpatternthatth
e
program’

1. Usethepagemenubuttonlocatedinthetopleftof
thescreentodisplaythepagemenu,andchoose
“CopyKARMAModule.”
Specifythecopy‐sourceprogram.Turnon(check)“GE

ThesettingsoftheKARMAREALTIMECONTROLS
sliders,switches,andsceneswillbecopiedtoModule

2. PresstheKARMAON/OFFswitchtoturnon
KARMA.
Whenyouplaythekeyboard,KARMAwillgeneratea

ThesongtempoandKARMAtempocannotbeset
independently.
4. IfyouwanttheKARMAmoduletobein
synchronizationwiththesequencerduring
recording,checkthe“QuantizeTrigger ”option.
GototheSequencerP7:KARMA–ModuleParameters‐
