Hello, i am an intense everyday user of KARMA Soft and on the Synth. KARMA is not really hard to explain
at least for me but it is hard to understand for a Mortal user. KARMA is not an arranger nor we'll ever
be, it does not act like one, it doesnt have same CHORD recognition, it doesn not have same NTT
table, nothing, NOTHING is the same. KARMA doesnt create Variation but only scenes where mostly
only one Scene can be Original, each Scene then is created based on the first pattern, not as on
Arranger where each Variation can be created from scratch.
Bachus, KARMA has 8 Scenes and 4 Modules (Tracks) but if you use KM3 then you have 32 Scenes
and 6 Modules and no, it wont work as MAIN on a style, it is wayyyyy different.
Diki:
KARMA on KORG has no FILL functions, can be implemented with workarounds but is not worth doing
it especially for live music. The only KARMA that has Arranger like Fill function is the OL KARMA on
NEKO, i already discussed that with Stephen...he might think about it on next upgrate of KARMA 2.5.
As for the Arps starting at ONE or wherever dont let it confuse you, they work as arrangers, you can set
them up the way you want but as i said, there is no Fill on Korg's KARMA.
You say UNTIL THIS IS FIXED and there is NOTHING, NOTHING to be fixed on KARMA so dont mix
the 2 together, KARMA is not an arranger, it wont be an arranger and there is no need for FIXING
arranger functions. What KARMA was meant to be it is, it is PERFECT with no bugs nor anything.
We are never satisfied and always try to turn one thing into another. KARMA is KARMA and hence
the KARMA, if it was an arranger would be called PA2X or something else.
I hope certain things are more clear now for some people that dont know.
If someone has speciffic questions feel free to ask since i know the KARMA system in and out.
