KARMAstandsfor“KayAlgorithmicRealtimeMusic
Architecture.”It’sanimmenselypowerful
performancetool,andcanprovideawiderangeof
musicaleffectsincluding:
•Arpeggiation
•Drumandinstrumentgrooves
•ComplexCCgestures(asifitwasautomatically
movingknobsorjoysticksforyou)
•Musicalphrasegeneration
•Anycombinationoftheabove
• …andmuchmore.

fromthefrontpanel.
Turning KARMA on and off
TheoverallcontrolforKARMAistheON/OFFbutton.
Turnthebuttonon(LEDlit)toenableKARMA;turn
thebuttonoff(LEDoff)todisableKARMA.
LATCH button
WhenLATCHisturnedon,KARMAwillcontinueto
playevenafteryou’vestoppedplayingonthe
keyboard,drum/chordpads,orMIDIIn.
Thisisconvenientwhenyouwanttoplayontopofa
KARMA‐generatedgroove,forinstance.
Selecting KARMA Scenes
EachCombicanhaveupto8KARMA“Scenes,”which
arepresetsfortheKARMAparameters.Different
Scenesmayproducedramaticallydifferenteffects.You
canselectScenesdirectlyfromtheControlSurface:
1. PresstheRTKNOBS/KARMAbuttonunder
CONTROLASSIGN.
TheControlSurfacewillswitchtoReal‐TimeKnobs
andKARMAmode.
2. SelectScenesbypres
singthetoprowofControl
Panelswitches.
NotethatnotallCombiswillnecessarilyhave8
differentScenes.
Editing KARMA parameters via the
sliders
YoucanalsoeditvariousKARMAparametersinreal
time,usingtheControlSurfacesliders.Thespecific
parameterswillvarydependingontheCombi,soit
maybehelpfultolookattheLCD:
1. GototheControlSurfacetabofthePlaypage.
2. PresstheRTKNOBS/KARMAbuttonunder
CONTROLASSIGN.
TheLCDwillnowshowtheKA
RMAparameters
assignedtotheslidersandswitches.
3. MovethesliderstochangetheKARMA
parameters.
