themostimportantsettingswhenusingmultiple
KARMAmodulesinacombination.
1. AccesstheCombinationP7:KARMA–GE
Setup/KeyZonespage.
2. Specifythe“InputChannel”and“Output
Channel”ofeachKARMAmodule.
“InputChannel”:Foracombination,youwill

Settingexample1:
Thisexampleshowshowthe
“GchAlso”option
works.
1. SetMIDIChannelforthefollowingtimbresas
follows.
Timbre1:Gch
Timbre2:2ch

Timbre4:4ch
Timbre5:5ch
2. SettheMIDIchannelsforthepadsasfollows.
Pad1:MIDIchannel=2ch
Pad2:MIDIchannel=3
ch
Pad3:MIDIchannel=4ch
Pad4:MIDIchannel=5ch
3. ForeachKARMAmodule,set“InputChannel”
and“OutputChannel”asfollows.
KARMAmoduleA:“InputCh”=2ch,“OutCh”=2

4. TurntheKARMAfunctionoff.
Whenyouplaythekeyboard,timbre1willsound.
Whenyoustrikepads1–4,timbres2–5willsound.
5. TurntheKARMAfunctionon.
Whenyouplaythe
keyboard,timbre1willsound.
Whenyoustrikepads1–4,KARMAmodulesA–D
willeachtriggeradifferentGEwhichwillplay
phrasesorpatternsontimbres2–5.
6. ForKARMAmoduleA,turn“GchAlso”on
(checked).
7. TurnofftheKARMAfunction.
Whenyouplaythekeyboard,timbre1willsound.
Whenyou
strikepads1–4,timbres2–5willsound.
8. TurnontheKARMAfunction.
Whenyouplaythekeyboard,timbre1willsound.

Whenyoustrikepads1–4,KARMAmodules
A–D
willtriggertheirrespectiveGEsandplayphrasesor
patternsontimbres2–5.
Settingexample2:
Thisexampleshowshowthe“TimbreThru”option
works.
Selectapianoprogramfortimbre1,abassprogramfor
timbre2,andadrumprogramfortimbre3.

globalMIDIchannelis01.)
1. SettheMIDIChannelfortimbres1,2,and3.
Forthisexample,set
timbre1to01,timbre2to02,
andtimbre3to03.Sinceeachtimbreissettoa
separatechannel,theKARMAmodulesettothe
correspondingchannelwillplayonlythattimbre.
2. Setthe“InputChannel”and“OutputChannel”of
eachKARMAmoduleasfollows.
KARMAmoduleA:
