Specifying the keyboard zone for the
KARMA function
Here’showtospecifythezoneofkeysthatwilltrigger
theKARMAfunction.Forexampleyoumightmake
settingssothatthekeysatthebottomofthekeyboard
willtriggerphrases,andkeysabovethisrangecanbe
playednormally.
1. AccesstheProgramP7:KARMA–GESetup/Key
Zonespage.
(Seethediagraminstep1of
“SelectingaGE”)
2. UsetheKeyZonesBottomandToptospecifythe
keyzone.
KeysyoupressandnotedatareceivedfromMIDI
INthatfallswithinthisrangewillbesenttothe
KARMAmodule.
Intheexampleshownabove,thenotesfrom
C‐1
throughB3arebeinginputtotheKARMAmodule.
WhenyouplayB3oralowernote,theKARMA
functionwillgenerateaphraseorpattern.
3. If“ThruInZone”and“ThruOutZone”areon
(checked),thenotesyouplayonthekeyboardwill
playinadditionto
thephraseorpatterngenerated
bytheKARMAfunction.
Thesetwofieldsarethesettingsforinsideand
outsidethekeyzone.
Youcanuse“TransposeInZone”and“Transpose
OutZone”totransposethenotesplayedonthe
keyboardinsemitonesteps.
Intheexampleshownabove,theB3andlower
keys
willcontrolonlythephraseorpatterngeneratedby
theKARMAfunction,andtheC4andhigherkeys
willbeusedformanualplayingonthekeyboard.
Use“TransposeOutZone”toadjustthepitchofthe
manually‐playedregion.
KARMA module MIDI filtering and CC

Offsetpage.
Receive MIDI Filter
Thisspecifieswhetherfilteringwillbeappliedto
theMIDIcontroldatareceivedbytheKARMA
module.Ifanitemison(checked),the
correspondingdatawillbereceived.
WhentheKARMAfunctionison,MIDIcontroldata
receivedbytheKARMAmoduleissentdirectlyto
thetonegenerator.If
thissettingisoff(unchecked),
thatdatawillnotbesenttothetonegenerator.
Intheexampleshownabove,damperpedal
messagesareenabledwhentheKARMAfunctionis
off,anddisabledwhenitison.
