7–1–8: Random Seeds
The Random Seeds page allows you to control some of the
randomizable characteristics of a Module’s GE. Different
Modules using the same GE can have various randomizable
characteristics “linked” so that they share the same start
seeds, generating phrases with the same characteristics.
7–1–8a: Seed
Rhythm (Rhythm Seed):
A
[1, 2, 3, 4]
B
[1, 2, 3, 4]
C
[1, 2, 3, 4]
D
[1, 2, 3, 4]
Allows you to share the same random rhythm
characteristics between modules using the same GE. For the
GE selected for each KARMA Module, you can often control
the degree of randomness for various parameter groups
such as rhythm, duration, velocity etc. The random
calculations are performed based on initial starting values,
known as “seeds.”
For example, if you select Rhythm Seed 1 for all four
KARMA Modules, running the same GE under the same
conditions will cause the randomness of the rhythms to be
identical. If many types of randomness are being used, such
as duration, velocity etc., setting all the seeds to the same
value within each group will cause the resulting phrases to
be identical.
Conversely, if you select Rhythm Seed 1, 2, 3, and 4
respectively for the four KARMA Modules and run the same
GE under the same conditions, the randomness of the
rhythms will be different. If many types of randomness are
being used, such as duration, velocity etc., setting all the
seeds to the different values within each group will cause
the resulting phrases to be completely different.
Normally, you will select different values, such as [A]: 1, [B]:
2, [C]: 3, [D]: 4.
Select identical values if you want two or more KARMA
Modules to play the same randomizable GE in unison or
harmony with the same randomizations.
For more information, please see “Rhythm Group” on
page 539.
Changing these settings will not have any effect for GEs
that were not designed to utilize various random
capabilities.
Duration (Duration Seed):
Controls the randomizable characteristics for the Duration
Group, similar to those explained under “Rhythm (Rhythm
Seed):,” above. For more information, please see “Duration
Group” on page 543.
Index (Index Seed):
Controls the randomizable characteristics for the Index
Group, similar to those explained under “Rhythm (Rhythm
Seed):,” above. For more information, please see “Index
Group” on page 546.
Cluster (Cluster Seed):
Controls the randomizable characteristics for the Cluster
Group, similar to those explained under “Rhythm (Rhythm
Seed):,” above. For more information, please see “Cluster
Group” on page 549.
Velocity (Velocity Seed):
Controls the randomizable characteristics for the Velocity
Group, similar to those explained under “Rhythm (Rhythm
Seed):,” above. For more information, please see “Velocity
Group” on page 551.
CC–A/B (CC–A/B Seed):
Controls the randomizable characteristics for the CCs/Pitch
Group, similar to those explained under “Rhythm (Rhythm
Seed):,” above. For more information, please see “CCs/Pitch
Group” on page 554.
Drum (Drum Seed):
Controls the randomizable characteristics for the Drum
Group, similar to those explained under “Rhythm (Rhythm
Seed):,” above. For more information, please see “Drum
Group” on page 572.
WaveSeq (WaveSeq Seed):
Controls the randomizable characteristics for the WaveSeq
Group, similar to those explained under “Rhythm (Rhythm
Seed):,” above. For more information, please see “WaveSeq
Group” on page 557.
7–1–8b: Start/Loop
Link (Link to Start Seed)
[Off, On]
If turned On, when you specify a Start Seed value for one of
the active KARMA Modules, the Start Seed of all other
active Modules in the Performance will be set to the same
value.
This is useful for quickly trying out new settings on all
Modules at the same time.
This setting is ignored while Capture Random Seed is
being executed.
Start Seed
[–2147483648…0: 2147483647]
Specifies the seed that is used by the KARMA module to
generate the random phrase.
Note: “Seed” is the internal data from which the
randomization is created (see “Start Seed” on page 82). Start
Seed
is used when a trigger occurs.
0: Random:
A different phrase will be generated each time
the trigger occurs. Within the KARMA module, a different
Start Seed
value is specified randomly each time the trigger
occurs.
Any value other than Random:
The same phrase will be
generated each time the trigger occurs. In contrast to 0:
Random, fixing the Start Seed value will cause the same
phrase to be generated each time the trigger occurs.
Different values for the Start Seed parameter will produce
different phrases, but the same phrase will always be
generated if the Start Seed value is the same.
