Global P4: Category
Programs, Combinations, and KARMA GEs are organized
into categories and sub-categories. Categories make it easy
to find a particular type of sound, such as keyboards, bass,
or drums, or a specific type of KARMA GE, such as
arpeggios or gated patterns.
Each main category also has up to 8 sub-categories, for finer
degrees of organization. For instance, the Program keyboard
category has sub-categories for acoustic pianos, real electric
pianos, synth electric pianos, and clavs and harpsichords.
Anywhere that you can select Programs, Combinations, or
KARMA GEs by bank and number, you can also select them
from the category pop-up.
When shipped from the factory, there are 16 preset Program
and Combination categories, with 2 more left open for your
use (initially named User16 and User17). There are also 12
preset KARMA GE categories.
On these pages, you can:
• Change the names of any of the categories and sub-
categories, including both the factory and user categories
• Add sub-categories to the factory categories (up to the
limit of 8)
You can assign a Program or Combination to a category and
sub-category during the Write process. For more
information, please see “Write Program” on page 106, and
“Write Combination” on page 185.
To save changes to category names, you’ll need to write

“Write Global Setting” on page 382.
