[GE/TS…16/16]

Specifies the time signature of the phrases or patterns
generated by the KARMA modules. The initial time
signature of the phrase or pattern is determined by the GE,
but you can set this parameter to change the time signa-
ture.
GE/TS: The initial time signature specified by each
KARMA module will be used.
1/4...16/16: Specify the desired time signature. In Combina-
tion, Sequencer, and Song Play modes, this will change the
time signature for all four KARMA modules.
