Has anyone played on Korg KARMA? I would like to know, how do you "export" the musical patterns triggered by KARMA via MIDI to another synth?
I connect my OASYS to Roland XP-80, I can receive the KARMA triggered pattern on the XP-80 when in "Program" mode... but when switch to "Combi" on the OASYS, my XP-80 will not receive the KARMA triggered MIDI messages at all.. Not really familiar with Korg, so wondering is there some kind of setting involved? Anyone tried this before? I mean, "export" KARMA pattern to use on other synth? How do you normally do it if you want to do it in "Combi" mode (i.e. when you have multiple KARMA patterns triggered at the same time)?
The reason I am doing this is because I want to use the KARMA pattern on my XP. but played using the sound of my JV expansion boards. Another reason, XP appegiator patterns are... TERRIBLE!
HEHE.. will buy you a drink if you can help me with this!!

I bought my OASYS from city music last dec, during the christmas sales at 80% original price... yeah, also want to get it fast before the GST hike.. 2% increase in GST is a BIG DEAL..

I finally manage to answer my own question... owe myself a cup of coffee..
I connect XP-80 to OASYS using one MIDI cable. OASYS is the "slave" here to accept midi messages from my XP-80 (XP-80: OUT, OASYS: IN). In my setup, my OASYS and XP-80 are connected to a Korg D12 Recording Studio, which I used to master my tracks and bounce for audio CD burning. Of course, you can do all these on the OASYS, but I haven't really figure out how to make it all work on just the OASYS... this is just a temporary approach to close up my learning gap
Of course, you need to do some configuration on the OASYS. You need to assign the input/output channel correctly on the OASYS.. was really baffled when hear no sound on the OASYS or KARMA not triggered... 8O
If you want to record your playing on OASYS to external keyboard, just swap the MIDI connection. Did manage to capture the drum pattern trigger by KARMA to my XP-80... also mange to capture the hard-to-play arppegio pattern to be used on my XP-80, that was my initial intention
I am currently arranging the song "My Will" from the Jap anime Inuyasha. I use the orchestra pad sound from my XP-80. When I play the pad sound on the XP-80, it will trigger the KARMA on OASYS for the bass pattern, arppegio and drum patterns... Hard to show you what is so marvellous about this setup, you just have to try set it up yourself to feel what it is like to combine the best sound and features of both :twisted:

My first KARMA composition on the OASYS - Mawsong
Hello, it's almost a year since I post this... You can hear this song at SoundClick artist: synthphony - synthesizer, arrangement, american light classic, roland XP-80, korg, recording, bach, symphony, orc, click on "Mawsong" or the "play hi-fi" icon beside it.
