Synchronizing the KARMA function
Synchronization with a wave sequence
IfyouwantaKARMAmoduletosynchronizewitha
currently‐playingwavesequence(“Mode”=Tempo),

synchronizetosixteenth‐noteintervalsofthetiming.
The “Quantize Trigger” parameter

onthesettingofits“QuantizeTrigger ”parameter.

willbequantizedtoasixteenth‐noteintervalofthe
basetempo.

Synchronization between KARMA
modules A, B, C, and D
InCombinationandSequencermodes,fourKARMA
modulescanberunning.Eachmodulehasa“Quantize
Trigger”settingthatdetermineshowthatmodulewill
synchronizewiththeothermodules.
