“Seed” is the source data from which the randomiza- tions are created. The “Seed” of the phrase being looped is automatically set internally within the KARMA module as the “Start Seed.” The “Start Seed” is used each time the GE is triggered. This means that each time you trigger the GE, a specific “Seed” is always used to generate the phrase.
EPress the KARMA [ON/OFF] key to temporarily turn off the KARMA function. Then press the KARMA [ON/ OFF] key once again to turn the KARMA function back on.
FIn the same way as in step 2, use the [CHORD TRIGGER] keys or keyboard to trigger the KARMA module. The phrase that was looped in step B will be reproduced each time the module is triggered. You can now save the Program and recall this phrase at any time.
1:Controls the “Freeze Loop Length” parameter will restart the phrase from the beginning each time the loop length is completed.

If you select Time Sig. as a parameter for assignment, you will not be able to set “A (Parm Module A)” or “A/B/C/D (Parm Module A/B/C/D)” (☞PG p.35, PG p.63, PG p.110, PG p.128).
The parameters you assign in RT Parm 1…8 will become unavailable for editing in other pages.
KARMA Function
RT Parameter (RealTime Parameter)
System version 2.0 adds Rand (Random) and PE (Perfor- mance) groups to “Grp (Parm Group)” in the KARMA RT Parameter page of each mode. These added parameter groups contain the new parameters Start Seed, Loop Length (Freeze Loop Length), and Time Sig. (Time Signature). This allows the parameters to be assigned to the KARMA REALTIME CONTROLS knobs and switches and varied in

Auto K.RT Name (Auto Assign KARMA RT Name)
Based on the GE parameters and RT parameters that are being controlled, appropriate names (out of the 407 names such as Rhythm Swing% and Rhythm Complexity) can be automatically assigned for the KARMA REALTIME CONTROLS knobs and switches. You can use this when creating new KARMA function assignments, or changing GE selections.
1Choose “Auto K.RT Name” to access the dialog box.
2To execute the command, press the [F8] (“OK”) key. To cancel without executing, press the [F7] (“Cancel“) key.
Please be aware that even in the case of a preloaded program or combination for which you have not edited the KARMA function, executing this command may assign names that are different than the currently- specified names.
