InCombinationmode(andSequencermode)youcan
usefourKARMAmodules(modulesA,B,C,andD).
Inacombination,youcanusethefourKARMA
modulesandthesixteentimbreprogramsinavariety

Switching the KARMA function on/off
EachtimeyoupresstheKARMAON/OFFswitch,the
KARMAfunctionwillbeturnedonoroff.Whenon,
theswitchLEDwillbelit.
Theon/offstatusissavedwhenyouwritethe
combination.
WhentheKARMAfunctionisoff,allKARMA
modulesA,B,C,andDwillbeoff.
WhentheKARMA
functionison,theKARMAmoduleswilloperateas
specifiedbytheir“Run”and“Solo”settings.
“Run” and “Solo” settings
1. AccesstheCombinationP7:KARMA–GE
Setup/KeyZonespage.
Note:Alternatively,youcanmakethesesettingsin
theCombinationP0:Play–KARMAGEpage.
2. Use“Run”and“Solo”toselectthemodule(s)that
willoperatewhentheKARMAfunctionison.
Formoreinformation,see“0–6b:GESelect”on
page 384ofthe
ParameterGuide.
Note:Forthepreloadedcombinations,whenthe

KARMASWITCHES1,2,3,and4willswitch“Run”
on/offformodulesA,B,C,andD.
Selecting a GE
Here’showtoselecttheGEusedbyeachKARMA
module.(See“KARMAfunctionsettingsinProgram
mode”onpage 206)
1. AccesstheCombinationP7:KARMA–GE
Setup/KeyZonespage.
Note:Alternatively,youcanmakethesesettingsin
theCombinationP0:Play–KARMAGEpage.
2. Press“LoadGEOptions”toaccessthedialog
box,
turnAutoRTCSetupon,andchecktheUserRTC
ModelandResetScenesoptions.
“LoadGEOptions”specifieswhetherthesettingsof

selectedGE,sothatyou’llbeabletocontrolthe
phraseorpatternimmediately.
3. Use“GESelect”toselecttheGEusedbythe
KARMAmodule.
Use“Tempo”toset
thetempoofthepatternor
phrasegeneratedbytheGE.
Use“KARMAT.Sig”tospecifythetimesignatureof
thepatternorphrasegeneratedbytheGE.Ifyou
selectGE/TSthetimesignaturespecifiedbytheGE
foreachmodulewillbeused;withanyother
setting,thetime
signatureofallGEswillchange
temporarily.
