Realtime recording using the KARMA
function (single-track recording)
Inthefollowingexample,we’llusetheKARMA
functiontorecordadrumpatternontrack1.
1. Selectthedesireddrumprogramfortrack1as
describedintheprocedureforrealtime‐recording
atrackandforpreparingtorecord(seep.91).
Alsomakeanyothernecessarysettingsfor
recording,suchas
setting“TrackSelect”toT01.
