Btm (Key Zone Bottom) [C–1…G9]
Top (Key Zone Top) [C–1…G9]

Thru Out Z (Thru Out Zone) [Off, On]
Trans (Transpose Out Zone) [–36…+36]
Module Zone Display:
The key zone settings of each of the four KARMA Modules
are displayed as a solid blue line.
Notes and messages from the MIDI IN connector within this
zone will be input to the KARMA Module.
7–1–1c: MIDI I/O
Specifies the MIDI input/output channels for the four
KARMA Modules used by the combination.
A, B, C, D (Module A, B, C, D):
In (Input Channel) [01…16, Gch]
Specifies the MIDI input channel for each KARMA Module.
MIDI data from the keyboard or from MIDI IN that matches
the specified MIDI channel will be input to the KARMA
Module. (See the diagram below, “KARMA-MIDI Input/
Output Channel.”
)
Gch: The MIDI channel will always match the global MIDI
channel (Global 1–1a).
When using KARMA with keyboard playing in
Combination mode, you will normally select Gch.
Gch (Gch Also) [Off, On]
Determines whether input on the Global Channel will also
be used for the selected Module, in addition to the channel
that is selected in the In (Input Channel).
Off (unchecked): The selected Module will receive data
from the specified In (Input Channel), and will not receive
data from the Global Input Channel.
On (checked): The selected Module will receive data from
the specified In (Input Channel) and the Global Input
Channel.
This is useful when using a pad on a specific MIDI Channel
to send data into a Module. Turning Gch Also On (checked)
allows a keyboard (sending on the Global Channel) to also
control the same Module.
Not available unless the Module’s In (Input Channel)
is set to something other than Gch Also or global MIDI
channel.
Out (Output Channel) [01…16, Gch]
Specifies the MIDI output channel for each KARMA
Module.
The MIDI data from the KARMA Module will be
transmitted on the specified MIDI channel, and will sound
timbres whose channel matches. (See the diagram below,
“KARMA-MIDI Input/Output Channel.”
)
Gch: The MIDI channel will always match the global MIDI
channel (Global 1–1a).
Thru (when KARMA Off) [Off, On]
In (Input Channel) and Out (Output Channel) settings are
normally valid only when the KARMA ON/OFF switch is
on.
As an exception, Timbre Thru specifies whether MIDI data
that has passed through the KARMA Module will be sent
(Thru) to timbres when KARMA is off.
On (checked): When the KARMA function is off, MIDI data
that has passed through the KARMA Module will be sent
via the Out (Output Channel) to timbres.
Off (unchecked): When the KARMA function is off, MIDI
data that has passed through the KARMA Module will not
be sent to timbres.
If you wish to apply separate phrases or patterns by using
KARMA Module [A] for timbre 1 and KARMA Module [B],
set the MIDI channels as follows:
Example setting 1
1. Set the global MIDI channel (Global 1–1a: MIDI Chan-
nel) to 01.
2. Set timbre 1 as follows.
Program Select
: Bass program
MIDI Channel (Combi 3–1(2)c): Gch
3. Set timbre 2 as follows.
Program Select : Piano program
MIDI Channel (Combi 3–1(2)c): 02
4. Set KARMA Module [A] as follows.
GE Select : Any riff from the Bass GE category
In (Input Channel) : Gch
Out (Output Channel) : Gch
Timbre Thru : Off
