Dynamic MIDI settings
Make these settings in the same way as for a program.

Naming the KARMA RTC knobs [1]–[8] and
switches [1]/[2]
In the same way as in a program, you can select names
for each KARMA Realtime Controls knob and switch.
These settings are saved together with each combina-
tion.
In a combination, part of the category name of the pro-
gram selected for the timbre controlled by the KARMA
Realtime Controls knobs and switches is automatically
displayed in square brackets [ ]. If settings have been
made to control multiple timbres simultaneously, this
will indicate
[MLTI]
.
This tells you the timbre of the phrase that the KARMA
Realtime Controls knobs and switches are controlling.
Specifying the degree of randomness (Random
Seed)
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.” The same GE
in 2 or more modules, set to the same seed, will per-
form its randomizations in the same order and manner.
If they are set to different seeds, the randomizations
will be different for each module.

Access the COMBI 6.3: Ed-KARMA RT Rndm1 or
2 page.
Normally, you will specify different values for each
as shown above: “A”:
1
, “B”:
2
, “C”:
3
, and “D”:
4
. If
you have selected the same GE for two or more
KARMA modules and want to set them to produce
the same sequence of randomizations (so that they
will play in unison or harmony), select the same
value. (

Linking the KARMA function settings to a combina-
tion
If you want the KARMA function settings written in a
combination to also be switched when you switch com-
binations, turn the “Auto KARMA” (GLOBAL 1.1-1c)
“Combi” parameter
On (checked)
. (PG p.135)
KARMA function settings in Sequencer
mode
In Sequencer mode, you can use four KARMA mod-
ules (modules [A], [B], [C], and [D]). Similar to combi-
nation mode, you can play separate phrases or patterns
using different programs such as drums, bass, guitar,
and strings, or create setups that combine the four
KARMA modules with sixteen track programs.
The structure of the parameters for the KARMA func-
tion is the same as for a combination. (

p.83 “KARMA
function settings in Combination mode”)
In Sequencer mode, you can use the KARMA function
for realtime recording of song tracks or patterns. The
note-on/off or MIDI control data generated by a
KARMA module can be recorded as track or pattern
events. When doing so, you can use the KARMA
Realtime Controls knobs and switches and the
[CHORD TRIGGER] keys etc. to control phrases and
patterns in realtime while you record. You can also
copy settings from a combination, or record your key-
board playing in realtime (multi-track recording).
Data from the internal sequencer will not be input
to the KARMA modules. Nor can note data from
the internal sequencer be used to trigger phrases
etc. for the KARMA function.
In the following section, we will describe the procedure
for using the KARMA function for realtime recording
(single track recording), and how to copy settings from
a combination and use them in realtime recording
(multi-track recording).
Realtime recording using the KARMA func-
tion (single-track recording)
As an example, here’s how to record a drum pattern on
track 1 while using the KARMA function.
1
As described in the procedure for realtime record-
ing on a track and the preparations for recording
(
☞
p.63), select the desired drum program for track
1. Then make the necessary preparations for
recording, such as setting “Track Select” (1.1-1c) to
T01.
2
Access the SEQ 6.1: KARMA MIDI I/O page. Make
MIDI I/O settings for the KARMA modules so that
KARMA module [A] will play track 1.
(
☞
p.83
“KARMA function settings in Combination mode”)
Set the KARMA module [A] “
Input Channel
” and
“
Output Channel
” to
01
and
01
respectively. (The
result will be the same if you set these to
Tch
and
Tch
. (
