1. AccesstheProgramP0:Play–KARMAGEpage.
The
lowerpartofthedisplayshowsthenamesof

CONTROLSslidersandKARMASWITCHEShave
alreadybeenassigned.
2. OperatethefrontpanelKARMACONTROLS1–8
slidersandKARMASWITCHES1–8.
Thepatternorphrasewillchangeaccordingly.
Youcanalsoturntheswitcheson/offbypressing
theminthedisplay.Youcanoperatetheslidersby
selectingthemandthenusingtheVALUEcontroller
toadjustthevalue.
Thetypeorvalueoftheparameterbeingcontrolled

3. UsethefrontpanelSCENE1–8switchestochoose
ascene.
Theslidersandswitcheswill
changetothesettings
thatweresavedinthesceneyouchose.
Eachoftheeightscenescontainsthevaluesof
sliders1–8andswitches1–8.BypressingaSCENE
1–8switchtochooseascene,youcaninstantlyrecall
settingsfortheeightslidersandeightswitches.
Evenifyouswitchscenes,thechangesyoumake
usingsliders1–8andswitches1–8areremembered
untilyouselectanotherprogram.Whenyouwritea
program,yoursliderandswitchsettingsaresaved
intherespectivescene1–8.
Restoring the state of the sliders and switches
Youcandothisbyadjustingthecontrolswhileyou
watchtheslidersandswitchesinthescreen,oryoucan
usethefollowingmethod.
Restoringtheentireprogram
1. PresstheCOMPAREswitch.
Theentireprogramwillreverttothestateinwhich
itwaswritten.(See“UsingCOMPARE”onpage 59.)
2. Pressthe
COMPAREswitchonceagain.
Theprogramwillreturntotheeditedstate.
Restoringallslidersandswitchesoftheselectedscene
1. Operatetheslidersandswitchestoeditthevalues
savedintheprogram.
TheLEDoftheselectedSCENEswitchwillblink.
2. HolddowntheRESETCONTROLSswitch,and
presstheSCENE
switch.
Allslidersandswitcheswillberesettotheirstored
settings,andtheSCENEswitchLEDwilllight.
3. Onceagain,holddowntheRESETCONTROLS
switchandpresstheSCENEswitch.
Allslidersandswitcheswillreturntotheedited
stateofstep1,andtheSCENEswitchLEDwill
blink.
