[. . . ] 4 Installing the software into the KARMA Music Workstation . 21 1 About this manual This manual explains the new functions that have been added in KARMA Music Workstation system version 2. 0, and the improvements that have been made from version 1. €¢ “Introduction” provides an overview of the major new functions of version 2. [. . . ] 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. 200% would push the swung notes all the way to the next 16th. Negative values push the swung notes the other direction. 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. Note that this relates to the Rhythm Pattern values. positive values cause overlapping; negative values cause separation. 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. [. . . ] The tempo “ =” indication in the upper right of the LCD screen will change along with the tempo. Tap tempo control can be used if it is possible to operate the [TEMPO] knob. For example if a song is playing in Sequencer mode with “Tempo Mode” (☞PG p. 70) set to Auto, you will not be able to use tap tempo control. [. . . ]
