[. . . ] 21 1 About this manual This manual explains the new functions that have been added in KARMA Music Workstation system version 2. €¢ “Introduction” provides an overview of the major new functions of version 2. €¢ “KARMA functionality” explains the new functionality that has been added to the KARMA function in Program, Combination, Sequencer, and Song Play modes. €¢ “Sequencer mode, ” “Global mode, ” and “Disk mode” explain the new functions and improvements for each of these modes. [. . . ] For example, if the movement specified by the Index Pattern causes the index to go backwards beyond the beginning of the playback portion, “cycling” will occur (the index will automatically be jumped back into the playback portion by a calculated amount). If the Phase “Length Mode” is 0: AC-Actual, no cycling is performed and a Phase Change will immediately occur. Each step of the Phase Pattern may have its own transpose value (-48…+48), which affects all notes that are generated during that step. For example, if a Step Transpose Value is -12, and the Phase Transpose Value for the Phase in use during that step is +24, the overall transpose would be +12. While this value is not directly accessible as a GE Parameter, it may be set as part of a GE and varied by the following 2 parameters: Step Transpose On/Off 0: Off 1: On [0, 1] 5: E-cycle back from end of Phase Allows “cycling” to occur at the end of the playback portion of the Phase. For example, if the movement specified by the Index Pattern causes the index to go forwards beyond end of the playback portion, “cycling” will occur (the index will automatically be jumped back into the playback portion by a calculated amount). If the Allows the effect of the Step Transpose Values in each Phase Pattern Step to be turned on or off for the entire Phase Pattern.

Template [0…17] 1: Poly Extend/Damped [Duration Value: 1…800 %] Allows one of 18 different templates for the 16 steps of a Phase Pattern to be chosen and applied to the current Phase Pattern. These 18 templates correspond to various settings of the Triton Arpeggiator “Octave” and “Octave Motion” parameters, and can be used to simulate Triton Arpeggio performances. (refer to the table at the bottom of the previous page) The same as above, except all sustaining notes will be damped when the chord changes, not just notes that are no longer in the Note Series. 2: Mono Extend [Duration Value: 1…800 %] The same as above, except each note or cluster is sustained until the next note or cluster (of any pitch or pitches) is generated. Rhythm Group Swing% Change the explanation for Global Parameters “Swing%” (☞GE p. 0% = no swing, 50% = triplets, while 100% pushes the swung notes all the way to the next value of half the note length set by the “Swing Note Value” (☞GE p. For example, if swinging straight 1: 16th notes, 100% would push the swung notes to 32nds. Note that triplet rhythm values may not be affected by swing, depending on internal settings of the GE. 4: Rhythm Overlap [Duration Value: -500…+500 ms] Duration Group Duration Mode Change the explanation for Associated Parameters “Duration Mode” as follows. The “Duration Value” parameter is used to specify in milliseconds an amount by which each note or cluster will overlap or be separated from the next note or cluster. For example, a setting of -20 ensures that all notes will extend and be separated from the next notes by 20 ms regardless of the actual rhythm the notes are generated with, or the current tempo. Note that while the Rhythm Pattern values themselves are relative to tempo, the value specified here is not. Using the example setting of -20, there will always be a gap of 20 ms between notes regardless of the tempo. 5: Rhythm % [Duration Value: 1…800 %] Duration Mode 0: 1: 2: 3: Poly Extend Poly Extend/Damped Mono Extend Timed 4: 5: 6: 7: Rhythm Overlap Rhythm % Pattern Overlap Pattern % [0…7] The “Duration Value” parameter is used to specify a percentage of the rhythmic value a note is generated with to use as a duration. [. . . ] €¢ If the copy-source is a bank F program, the “Voice Reserve (2. 272) of the copy-destination timbre will be automatically set to 6, and the “Voice Reserve” of the remaining timbres will be automatically set to 0. 7 Press the [F8] (“OK”) key to execute the copy, or press the [F7] (“Cancel”) to cancel without executing. 2 Lightly tap the [TIMBRE/TRACK] key several times at a desired tempo.
