The following exercise will help you to understand how to assign new sounds and KARMA GE’s to a Combination. It begins by auditioning a drum Program and its assigned GE, and then assigning the Program to a timbre in the previous Combination, followed by copying the Program’s GE and KARMA Realtime Control setup.
1. Press the PROG mode key, and then select and trigger the KARMA function for Program B36 Standard Kit 2, to get an idea of how it sounds ç Note the TEMPO setting “90” in the upper-right of the display.
2. Press the COMBI mode key, and select Combination E001 Bass&WhirlySplit, and then trigger the KARMA function for this Combi.
3. Press [F2] (Prog tab) ç Cursor to highlight “Timbre 4 Drum: A004”, and then use the BANK key and keypad to enter Program B036 for this timbre ç Continue to let the GE play.
4. Cursor to the TEMPO indicator “86” (upper-right) and set the tempo to “90”.
5. Press the MENU key, and then press [F6] to highlight “KARM”
6. Press [F8] (Open), and then press [F1] to view the Setup tab. This is the Edit KARMA Setup tab, for assigning new GE’s to the four KARMA modules, and setting Run and Solo status for each GE.
7. Press [F8] (UTILITY), and then Cursor to “Copy KARMA Module” ç Press [F8] again to confirm OK.
8. From the popup menu that appears, Cursor to and select Program B036 Standard Kit 2
9. Cursor to “KARMA RT&Panel Setting” and rotate the DIAL to check the box.
10. Cursor to and select “To: Module: A”, and then press [F8] to confirm OK.
11. Turn ON and trigger the KARMA function again
Note: When you play, the drum sounds are now being triggered across the whole keyboard. This is because of the original settings
copied from the drum Program
12. Press [F4] (KeyT), and view the settings for KeyThru, where you can set each KARMA module to sound or not sound, from IN, or OUT of its assigned Zone.
13. Cursor to and highlight Module “A In” (left side of display), and then rotate the DIAL to un-check the box. This sets KARMA so that the drum notes will not play as you strike the keys. Try playing in the lower range of the keyboard now, as the KARMA module runs. The drum pattern will play, and you’ll only hear the Bass timbre.
14. Press [F8] (UTILITY), and then Cursor to “Write Combination”
15. Press [F8] again, and use the BANK key and keypad to select destination Combi C001 InitialCombi
16. Press [F5] (Name), and then press [F1] (Clear) to clear the name field
17. Using the [F] keys, enter Split2 as the new name, and then press [F8] 2x to write the edited Combi to C001.
