Synchronization basics
Synchronization with Wave Sequences
IfyouwantaKARMAmoduletosynchronizewith
currently‐playingWaveSequences(“Mode”=Tempo),
turn“QuantizeTrigger”on(checked)sothatitwill
synchronizetotheselectednoteinterval.
Synchronization with the Drum Track

DrumTrack,see“UsingKARMAandtheDrumTrack
together”onpage 243.
Synchronization with song start/stop
