Chord Notes:
When you strike a pad, the (up to eight)
MIDI note-on/off messages (and velocities) specified
by the Pad “Pad1”–“Pad8” (1–9) setting of each
program, combination, or song will be transmitted. If
all notes are turned off, no MIDI messages will be
transmitted.
KARMA External Routing
Enable KARMA Module to MIDI Out [Off, On]
This setting specifies whether the KARMA Module
will transmit MIDI messages.
On (checked):
The KARMA Module will transmit
MIDI messages.
Off (unchecked):
The KARMA Module will not
transmit MIDI messages. MIDI events generated by
the KARMA Module will sound the internal tone
generator, but MIDI messages will not be output.
Enable MIDI In to KARMA Module [Off, On]
This setting specifies whether MIDI messages from the
MIDI IN connector will be sent to the KARMA
Module.
On (checked):
MIDI messages will be sent to the
KARMA Module.
Off (unchecked):
MIDI messages will not be sent to
the KARMA Module.
Example settings
• If you want phrases etc. generated by the OASYS’s
KARMA Module to be sent via MIDI to control an
external MIDI device or recorded on an external
MIDI sequencer:
“Enable KARMA Module to MIDI Out” On
“Enable MIDI In to KARMA Module” Off
(”Local Control On” On)
• If you want MIDI input from an external MIDI
device to trigger the KARMA Module
• If you want only the OASYS keyboard events that
trigger the KARMA Module to be sent from MIDI
OUT for recording on an external sequencer, and
echo-back or play back these events via MIDI IN to
trigger the KARMA Module:
“Enable KARMA Module to MIDI Out” Off
“Enable MIDI In to KARMA Module” On
(”Local Control On” Off)
You can also make these settings from the “Setup
KARMA External MIDI Routing” (o) page menu
command.
If both “Enable KARMA Module to MIDI Out” and
“Enable MIDI In to KARMA Module” are turned
On, there is a possibility of a MIDI Loop occurring,
depending on the settings of the external devices
that you are connected to. If this happens, disable
the “Echo Thru” settings of the external devices, or
set one of these KARMA MIDI settings to Off. See
“Set Up KARMA External MIDI Routing” on
page 686.
Start/Stop (Realtime) Out
Enable Start/Stop Out in Prog/Combi [Off, On]
In Program and Combination modes, this function
transmits a MIDI start message when you trigger the
KARMA function, and a MIDI stop message when you
turn it off. This lets you make an external MIDI
sequencer or rhythm/groove machine start playing at
the moment that the KARMA function begins playing.
Off (unchecked):
Normally you will leave this Off.
On (checked):
MIDI system realtime messages “Start”
and “Stop” will be transmitted in Program and
Combination mode. If “MIDI Clock” (1–1a) is set to
Internal or Auto (and operating as Internal), the start
and stop messages will be transmitted under the
conditions described below. This can be used to
simultaneously start an external MIDI sequencer or
rhythm/groove machine at the moment the KARMA
function begins playing.
Start:
If the KARMA ON/OFF switch is on, the MIDI
system realtime message “Start” will be transmitted at
the moment you use the keyboard or pads 1–8 keys to
trigger the GE selected for a KARMA Module.
Note: “Start” will be transmitted at the moment that the
GE phrase or pattern is triggered according to the
“KARMA Key Zone” (Program 7–1a, Combination 7–
1b) setting for that KARMA Module.
Stop:
If “Start” has been previously transmitted, the
MIDI system realtime message “Stop” will be
transmitted at the moment you turn off the KARMA
ON/OFF switch.
