Selecting a GE (Generated Effect)
WhentheKARMAfunctionison,theKARMAmodule
usesaGEtogeneratephrasesorpatterns.TheOASYS
providesawiderangeofGEsthatyoucanusefora
varietyofinstruments,playingtechniques,and
musicalstyles(See“ThestructureoftheKARMA
function”onpage 197).
Foreachof
thepre‐loadedprograms,aGEthat’s
appropriateforthesoundoftheprogramisalready
selected.IfyouswitchtoadifferentGE,thegenerated
phraseorpatternwillchangedramatically.
1. AccesstheProgramP0:Play–KARMAGEpage.
2. Inthedisplay,pressthe“GESelect”popupbutton
toaccessthe
“GESelect”menu.
3. SelectaGEfromthelistintherightsideofthe
display.
TheselectedGEwillbehighlightedandwill
becomeactive.
Ifyounowplaythekeyboard,thisGEwillgenerate
aphraseorpattern.
Whilethismenuisdisplayed,youcanselectand
playtheseGEs
withoutpressingtheOKbutton.
4. Ifyouaresatisfiedwiththeprogramyouselected,
presstheOKbuttontoclosethemenu.
Alternatively,youcanselectaGEbychoosing“GE
Select”inthedisplay,andoperatingtheVALUE
sliderorVALUEdial.Youcanalsouse“GE
CategorySelect”tochoose
aGEbycategory.(See
“GECategorySelect”onpage 8oftheParameter
Guide.)

Performing with the KARMA function in
Combination mode
InCombinationmode,uptofourKARMAmodules
canbeoperatingsimultaneously.Youcanusethefour
KARMAmodulestogetherwiththesixteentimbre
programsinawidevarietyofways,forexampleby
usingthemtoindependentlyplayphrasesand
patternsforseparateprogramssuchasdrums,bass,
guitar,and
strings.
Selecting a combination and turning the
KARMA function on/off
1. PresstheCOMBIswitchtoenterCombination
mode,andselectthedesiredcombination.(See
