Note: The slider/switch names describe how they change the sound generated by the GE. They are not names of specific GE parameters. Some of them control multiple GE parameters at the same time. To determine exactly what a specific slider or switch in this RTC Model is doing, look in the ASSIGN fields of the GE RTP tab of the KARMA pages for a combi or program. This will tell you the specific GE parameters (and their min, max and assigned values) corresponding to that slider/switch. You can then look up the definition of these parameters in the Parameter Guide for your keyboard model.

Slider/Switch descriptions

Slider 1 Rhythm Swing % Controls the percentage of swing (or hip-hop feeling). 0% = no swing, 50% = triplets, and 100% pushes the swung notes all the way to the next value of half the note length set by the “Swing Note Value” parameter. A value of 101 selects +200%, and a value of 102 selects –200%.

Slider 5 Repeat On/Off By Pattern [needs description]
Slider 6 Repeat Rhythm Value [needs description]
Slider 7 Repeat Repetitions [needs description]
Slider 8 Repeat Transpose [needs description]
Switch 1 Pattern On/Off [1] Turns ON or OFF Pattern 1 by switching the Drum: Pattern Vel. Offset [1] value between 0 (ON - no change to velocity) and -127 (OFF - reduce all velocity values to zero), effectively controlling the volume of the pattern.
Switch 2 Pattern On/Off [2] Turns ON or OFF Pattern 2 by switching the Drum: Pattern Vel. Offset [2] value between 0 (ON - no change to velocity) and -127 (OFF - reduce all velocity values to zero), effectively controlling the volume of the pattern.
Switch 3 Pattern On/Off [3] Turns ON or OFF Pattern 3 by switching the Drum: Pattern Vel. Offset [3] value between 0 (ON - no change to velocity) and -127 (OFF - reduce all velocity values to zero), effectively controlling the volume of the pattern.
Switch 4 Keys Held = Notes Played [needs description]
Switch 5 Bend On/Off Turns ON or OFF pitch-bending effects, which are further programmed or controlled by these GE RTP (see below): Bend: Start %, Bend: Drum Bend Mode (on Switch 6), and Bend: Amount (on Switch 7).
Switch 6 Bend Normal/Arpeggiated [needs description]
Switch 7 Bend Direction [needs description]
Switch 8 Repeat Volume/Decay [needs description]

GE Real-Time Parameters (32 GE RTP)

The following table shows the default GE Real-Time Parameters in an initialized RTC model. It's very rare that any of the parameters with slider/switch assignments are ever changed for a particular GE based on this RTC model. However a KARMA Designer will quite often change some of the non-assigned parameters, particularly in the 17-32 range, so some of the parameters that you see in a specific GE using this RTC model might not exactly match the following table.
