2. Specify how you want the KARMA controllers and
scene settings to change (or be preserved) when you
select a different GE.
Auto RTC Setup: When you select a GE, the settings for the
KARMA Sliders 1–8 and Switches 1–8 will be made
automatically. This means that when you select a GE, you
will be able to use the sliders and switches to control the
phrases or effect variations without having to reassign the
settings yourself.
Clear RTC Setup: When you select a GE, all KARMA
controller and scene settings will be cleared (initialized). The
Control Surface Sliders and Switches will have no effect on
the GE.
Keep RTC Setup: Even if you select a GE, the current
KARMA controller and scene settings will be preserved. Use
this setting if you want to preserve the current KARMA
controller and scene settings because you are selecting a GE
whose assigned GE parameters are exactly the same (using
the same RTC Model), or if you want to keep the current
KARMA controller settings and edit them yourself as
necessary.
3. If you choose the Auto RTC Setup setting, check or
uncheck the Use RTC Model option box to specify how
the automatic settings will be made.
On (checked): The current KARMA controller assignments
and values will be cleared, and new settings will be made
according to the RTC Model specified for each GE. However
if you select a GE whose RTC Model is Custom, all KARMA
controller and scene settings will be initialized (the same as
if you’ve selected Clear RTC Setup On). Normally you will
leave this on.
Off (unchecked): The current KARMA controller
assignments and values will be preserved as much as
possible. For example, you might select a drum pattern GE
with this setting turned On (checked), edit some of the
KARMA Scene settings appropriately for that GE, and then
turn this Off (unchecked) when trying out a different drum
pattern GE, thereby applying the settings you made to the
new GE.
Note: If you turn on Auto RTC Setup and turn off Use RTC
Model
, the current KARMA controller settings will be
preserved as much as possible, relative to the state of the GE
Real-Time Parameters. However if (for example) the newly
selected GE does not have the same realtime parameters,
some of the KARMA controller settings will be cleared.
Normally you will use this setting if you want to keep the
KARMA controller settings.
4. If you turned on Use RTC Model (checked), use Reset
Scenes to specify whether scene settings will be reset or
preserved when you select a GE.
On (checked): When you select a GE, the current settings of
scenes 1–8 will be reset to the stored GE settings.
Off (unchecked): The current settings of Scenes 1–8 will be
preserved. Choose this if you intend to select a different GE
that has the same RTC Model and want to continue using
the same scene settings.
Even if this is Off (unchecked), the settings will be reset
if you select a GE for which a different RTC Model is
specified.
If Use RTC Model is Off (unchecked), the Reset Scene
option is unavailable.
5. Click the OK button to apply the settings of the dialog
box, or click the Cancel button to return to the settings
before you opened the dialog box.
Note: The RTC Model associated with a GE can be viewed on
the Control Surface page when it is set to KARMA, and in
the VNL.
KARMA T.Sig (KARMA Time Signature)
[GE/TS, 1/4...16/4, 1/8...16/8, 1/16...16/16]
This specifies the time signature of the phrases or patterns
generated by the KARMA Modules.
The internal time signature of the phrase or pattern is
determined by the GE, but you can set this parameter to
change the time signature.
GE/TS: The initial time signature specified by each KARMA
Module will be used.
1/4…16/16: Specify the desired time signature. In
Combination and Sequencer modes, this will change the
time signature for all four KARMA Modules.
0–5c: GE Select
The phrases and patterns produced by a KARMA Module
are generated by a GE (Generated Effect).
Based on input note data from the keyboard, the GE creates
phrases and patterns using numerous internal parameter
settings to control the development of the note data, the
rhythm, the chord structure, the velocity etc.
MIDI control changes and pitch bend etc. can also be
generated in synchronization with the phrase or pattern. In
this way you can produce phrases and patterns in which the
GE freely varies the tone or pitch. The GE can be selected
independently for each KARMA Module.
In Program mode you can use one KARMA Module
(Module [A]).
Module A:
GE Select [0000: Arp Model 01 Up/Dn...2092:
Tempo Env Repeats]
This selects the Module’s GE, from among the 2093 presets.
GE Category Select [Arpeggio...Real-Time]
This lets you select a GE by category, from Arpeggio
through Real-Time.
RTC Model
This shows the RTC Model of the GE selected by GE select.
RTC stands for “Real Time Control.” RTC models provide a
level of standardization for controlling the over 200 internal
parameters of a GE.
