Specifying the random seeds
ForeachGErealtimeparametergroup,youcanspecify
whethertherandomseed(usedtogeneraterandom
values)willbesharedbetweenthefourKARMA
modules.

Auto Song Setup
TheAutoSongSetupfunctionautomaticallycopiesthe
settingsofaprogramorcombinationintoasong,and
thenputstheOASYSinrecord‐readymode.Youcan
thenbeginrecordingimmediatelyjustbypressingthe
SEQUENCERSTART/STOPswitch.Thisletsyou
seamlesslymovefromplayingaprogramor

Procedure(usingtheexampleofCombinationmode)
1. EnterCombinationmode.
2. IntheCombinationP0:Play–ProgSelect/Mixer
page,selectacombinationandedittheKARMA

RTCparametersetc.asdesired.
Note:Ifyouwanttokeeptheeditedstateofyour
combination,execute“UpdateCombination”or
“WriteCombination.”
3. HolddowntheENTERswitchandpressthe
REC/WRITEswitch.
The“SetuptoRecord”dialogboxwillappear.
4. ToexecutetheAutoSongSetupfunction,pressthe
OKbutton.
Ifyoudecidetocancel,pressthe
Cancelbutton.
YouwillautomaticallymovetoSequencermode,
andthesettingsofthecombinationwillbecopiedto
asong.
Thecopy‐destinationsongwillbethefirstunused
song.
