Scenario
You've had your shiny new Korg OASYS or Korg M3 for a while now, perhaps for months, but the KARMA features of your rig still seem intimidatingly complex. You've probably figured out what half of the KARMA sliders and switches on the control surface do, but sometimes the others don't seem to do anything obvious at all.
You want to learn more about making the Generated Effect (GE) assigned to a given Module do what you want it to do, or narrowing down your choices among the large list of available GEs to the few that might give your combi or program the grooves and riffs that you're looking for.
Maybe you've even tried reading the GE Guide section of the Parameter Guide for your keyboard and wondered why so many of the listed GE groups and parameters in those groups seem to be difficult to find when you examine the 32 GE Real-Time Parameters visible in the GE RTP pages of your keyboard.
A guided beginner's course to understanding and using KARMA 2
This article is just a starting point that links you to other articles that explain this or that about KARMA 2, which is the version of KARMA in the Korg OASYS and Korg M3. If you read all of the following articles in the order they're listed, you will be able to wrap your brain around the basics of KARMA and what you can do with it.
These articles are not meant to replace all the excellent information about KARMA in your keyboard's Operations Guide and Parameter Guide. Instead, they're meant to supplement your Korg-produced guides by filling in the blanks and providing a useful overview of KARMA.
