KARMA is a huge toolbox of MIDI effects and phrases that can enhance and inspire your playing… and you can
modify the effects in real-time, in tons of different ways.
Many of the onboard Programs and Combis have KARMA (and/or a Drum Track) turned on by default. To turn them on or off, press
either the DRUM TRACK ON/OFF or KARMA ON/OFF switch on the lower left side of the top panel.
1. Select Program INT B036: Funk Kit, and then press a pad to start the KARMA engine. Each pad is set to a drum sound,
and PAD 8 restarts the beat with a crash!
2. Press the KARMA switch next to the main volume slider, to set the control surface to KARMA mode.
3. Touch the “Control Surface” tab at the bottom-right of the display to see exactly what you’re controlling.
a. Try pulling SLIDER #1 “Swing %,” down to zero and back up – slowly. Easy does it.
b. Now move SLIDER #6 “Repeat Rhythm Value” down to zero, and move SLIDER #7 up to about 20 for instant
flam on the snare.
c. Raise SLIDER #6 all the way up for a quick, robotic delay!
d. Press KARMA switches 5, 6, and 7 to give KARMA control over pitch bending. You’ve taken it far from the preset
KARMA settings, right?
You’ve just modified one of eight KARMA SCENES! A KARMA Scene is a “snapshot” of all the KARMA settings at once. You can
store eight of them on each Program or Combi, and recall them using the switches directly beneath the sliders. These scenes are
available whenever KARMA is running!
1. While the beat is still going (and the beat goes on…), press one of the other KARMA SCENE switches to see how the
beat changes.
Notice that if you go back to that first Scene, your changes are retained!
2. Press the KARMA switch to the left of the control surface (this puts the control surface in KARMA mode).
3. Press the KARMA switch again, and the 5-8 LED above the KARMA SCENE switches will start flashing.
You now have access to four more Scenes! Somebody slap you!
In COMBI mode, you can run FOUR KARMA modules at one time. Holy Cow! Each Scene can affect all four modules at once, and
so you can make some pretty drastic changes to the sound with just a single key press. Try it…
1. Go to Combi INT C084: Waves Of The Beyond. You will find LOADS of Good Karma here…
2. Press a pad or key to start the KARMAlized-groove.
3. Change the KARMA Scenes, and listen to the changes… Every sound is modified!
4. Remember to press the KARMA switch to get to the first four Scenes… Try the first one!
Note: To turn KARMA off, press the KARMA ON/OFF button on the bottom left side of the control surface.

The M3 features a Drum Track that can instantly-add rhythmic accompaniment to any Program, Combi, or Sequence.
There are over 500 preset patterns, covering a huge array of musical styles. Many of the patterns are quite long,
and created by really good drummers, giving them a natural feel…
1. Select Program INT A000: Stereo Grand 4-Way. First and foremost, take time now to play and enjoy this incredible
piano sound…We MEAN IT!!!! Stop everything and enjoy!
