Phase Pattern of 8 steps (bars), so it may not sound
always as if it is restarting every 2 bars, because of
the internal settings of the Phase Pattern. It will
repeat the same randomizations, but not necessarily
restart the riff from the beginning. However, this
can also be useful for getting the same rhythm and
note movements, with a longer evolving phrase.
9. Set “Retrigger Each Time” to On (checked).
Now, every 2 bars, the Phase Pattern is restarted
also, in conjunction with the Freeze Loop length,
and the phrase becomes a simple 2 bar loop.
10.Set “Start Seed” back to 0: Random.
Retrigger the phrase by pressing a pad or playing
the keyboard. A completely new randomized
phrase will be generated each time you trigger, but
every 2 bars it will loop and repeat until you trigger
it again.
11.Now set “Retrigger Each Time” back to Off
(unchecked).
Once again, even though the randomizations are
being repeated every 2 bars, the 8 step GE Phase
Pattern allows longer evolving phrases to be cre-
ated.
12.Set the “Freeze Loop Length” parameter.
If you set this to
1–32
, the phrase will loop for the
specified number of measures. For this example, set
this to
2
and set the “Retrigger Each Time” to
On
(checked)
. With this setting, the random phrase will
freeze to a two-measure phrase. You can use this to
loop a phrase during a live performance.
13.In the same way as in step 2, use the pad or
keyboard to trigger the KARMA Module.
14.When you hear a phrase you want to be played
each time you trigger the GE, execute “Capture
Random Seed.” Press the Page Menu button and
choose “Capture Random Seed” from the page
menu.
15.When the dialog box appears, press the OK
button.
The “Start Seed” parameter will automatically be
set to the internal value needed to reproduce the
phrase.
Example: Capture Random Seed has set “Start Seed” to a
value of
+0254861235
Note: “Seed” is the source data from which the
randomizations are created. The “Seed” of the phrase
being looped is automatically set internally within the
KARMA Module as the “Start Seed.” The “Start Seed”
is used each time the GE is triggered. This means that
each time you trigger the GE, a specific “Seed” is
always used to generate the phrase.
16.Press the KARMA ON/OFF switch to temporarily
turn off the KARMA function. Then press the
KARMA ON/OFF switch once again to turn the
KARMA function back on.
17.In the same way as in step 2, use the pad or
keyboard to trigger the KARMA Module.
The phrase that was looped in step 11 will be repro-
duced each time the module is triggered. You can
now save the Program and recall this phrase at any
time.
Copy Insert Effect
Copy Insert Effect
is available on all of the IFX pages.
This command copies effects settings from within the
current Program, from other Programs, Combinations,
or Songs, or from the current Sampling mode settings.
To execute the Copy Insert Effect command, press the
OK
button. To cancel, press the
Cancel
button.
If you’re copying from a master effect, the result will
not be identical due to differences in the routing and
level settings of the master effects.
