control effects, for example by turning on a delay
effect in conjunction with a generated phrase.

Use “CC Number” to specify the MIDI control
change number. Choose one of the CC numbers in
the 70’s which control the sound, or an AMS or
Dmod source (see “7–2c: CC Offset” on page 102 of
the Parameter Guide).

In the example shown in the preceding page, CC#74
and CC#71 are controlling filter cutoff and
resonance level.

KARMA module parameters

In the Program P7: KARMA– Module Parameters-
Control and Trigger pages you can edit KARMA
module parameters.

Here we will describe how to edit the most
frequently-used parameters. For details on the other
parameters, refer to “7–3a: Program Name and
Tempo” on page 103 of the Parameter Guide.

Control – Transpose

This lets you transpose the note data being input to
the KARMA module in semitone steps. This will
control the pitch of the phrase or pattern generated
by the KARMA module. For example if you want to
lower a bass phrase by one octave, set this to –12.

Control – Quantize Trig (Quantize Triggers)

This quantizes the timing of the triggering
produced by the note data. (See “Synchronizing the
KARMA function” on page 213)
Off (unchecked): Triggering will occur the moment
you play the key.

On (checked): Trigger timing will be quantized to
16th note intervals relative to the base tempo.

Note – Trigger

This specifies the triggering conditions for the
phrase or pattern generated by the GE. Try these out
and see how they differ.
Any: Triggering will occur each time you play a key,
and the phrase or pattern will play from the
beginning.
AKR: Triggering will occur only the first time you
play a key after having released all notes on the
keyboard.
1st: Triggering will occur only at the first note you
play after turning on the KARMA function.
Dyn: Playing the keyboard will not cause
triggering. Triggering will occur when you operate
the controller specified by Dynamic MIDI.

GE Real-Time Parameters

Here you can edit the GE realtime parameters that
are selected by the KARMA module. You can also
assign GE realtime parameters to the KARMA
CONTROLS sliders and KARMA SWITCHES so
that you can use them to control the phrase or
pattern in realtime while you perform.
Note: If you use the Auto RTC Setup function of
“Load GE Options,” the standard slider and
KARMA SWITCH assignments for the RTC Model
of that GE will automatically be made when you
select a GE. (See “Selecting a GE” on page 202)

1. Access the Program P7: KARMA– GE Real-Time

Parameters page.

Use “GE RTC Select” to switch the set of GE
realtime parameters you want to see.

These buttons display GE realtime parameters 1–16
or 17–32.

The number and type of GE realtime parameters
you can edit here will differ depending on the
selected GE. (There will be a maximum of 32.) In
each GE, the parameters most useful for controlling
the phrase or pattern are provided as presets.
Note: RTC Model: Every GE contains an internal
setting that indicates its RTC Model. Based on the
type or purpose of the GE, the RTC Model provides
