7–8: Random Seeds
The Random Seeds page allows you to control some of
the randomizable characteristics of a Module’s GE.
You can freeze (capture) the endlessly varying phrases
generated by KARMA’s randomize features.
7–8a: Program Name and Tempo
For descriptions of these parameters, please see “7–2a:
Program Name and Tempo” on page 100.
7–8b: Start
By using the “Capture Random Seed” (
Seed”, and “Freeze Loop Length” parameters, you can
loop a randomly changing phrase, or play the same
phrase each time you trigger it. These capabilities are
collectively called
Freeze Randomize
. You can also
store a Program or Combination with these settings, so
that it will always play the same randomized phrase or
pattern when you first call it up.
Not all GEs have been programmed to utilize the
KARMA function’s randomization capabilities. If
no randomization has been programmed as part of
the GE, changing these parameters will appear to
have no effect.
Start Seed
[–2147483648…0:
2147483647]
Specifies the seed that is used by the KARMA Module
to generate the random phrase.
Note: “Seed” is the source data from which the
randomizations are created. “Start Seed” is the seed
that will be used each time a trigger occurs.
0: Random:
A different phrase will be generated each
time the trigger occurs. Within the KARMA Module, a
different “Start Seed” value is specified randomly each
time the trigger occurs.
Any value other than Random:
The same phrase will
be generated each time the trigger occurs. Different
values for the Start Seed parameter will produce
different phrases, but the same phrase will always be
generated if the Start Seed value is the same.
How the “Start Seed” value affects the phrase
As an example, we will use Program INT-F099: Widow
Maker to see how different “Start Seed” settings will
affect the phrase.
1. In Program mode, select INT-F099: Widow Maker.
This is an EX
i
Program, using two AL-1s to create a
lead synth sound. KARMA is programmed to play a
phrase.
2. Turn on the front-panel KARMA ON/OFF switch.
3. Press the Common button, to see the EX
i
Common
pages.
4. Select the P7–8: Random Seeds page.
5. Press the Common button to access the 7–4:
Module Parameters- Trigger page, and set “Note
Trigger” to Any.
