Selecting a GE (Generated Effect)

When the KARMA function is on, the KARMA module
uses a GE to generate phrases or patterns. The OASYS
provides a wide range of GEs that you can use for a
variety of instruments, playing techniques, and
musical styles (See “The structure of the KARMA
function” on page 193).

For each of the pre-loaded programs, a GE that’s
appropriate for the sound of the program is already
selected. If you switch to a different GE, the generated
phrase or pattern will change dramatically.

1. Access the Program P0: Play– KARMA GE page.

2. In the display, press the “GE Select” popup button

to access the “GE Select” menu.

3. Select a GE from the list in the right side of the

display.
The selected GE will be highlighted and will
become active.

If you now play the keyboard, this GE will generate
a phrase or pattern.

While this menu is displayed, you can select and
play these GEs without pressing the OK button.

4. If you are satisfied with the program you selected,

press the OK button to close the menu.
Alternatively, you can select a GE by choosing “GE
Select” in the display, and operating the VALUE
slider or VALUE dial. You can also use “GE
Category Select” to choose a GE by category. (See
“GE Category Select” on page 8 of the Parameter
Guide.)

Editing KARMA module parameters

For details on editing the parameters of a KARMA
module, see “KARMA function settings” on page 202.

Performing with the KARMA function in
Combination mode

In Combination mode, up to four KARMA modules
can be operating simultaneously. You can use the four
KARMA modules together with the sixteen timbre
programs in a wide variety of ways, for example by
using them to independently play phrases and
patterns for separate programs such as drums, bass,
guitar, and strings.

Selecting a combination and turning the
KARMA function on/off

1. Press the COMBI switch to enter Combination

mode, and select the desired combination. (See
“Selecting combinations” on page 2.)
