Re: Digest Number 1782

Thanks for all your assistance and, yes, you were very close in your
advice, I just couldn't see the forest for the trees.

I must confess my impatience sent me to the Karma Labs forums last
night and Stephen Kay was kind enough to respond in less than an hour!
Here's the gist of his directions:

=====================================
You edit Drum Kits in Global Mode. Go To Global Mode, D.Kit Page.

First, in Program Mode, you would select the Kit you want to edit, say
Standard Kit 2. Then you Go to Global Mode, D.Kit page, and edit the Kit.

The venerable Karma Keyboard FAQ document has some info on this. Here
are a few excerpts:

SECTION 1, #2:
2. How do I access individual Drum Samples, or edit Drum Kits?
You change the individual samples of drum kits in the Global mode, so
you can, for example, listen to individual snare drums or kick drums.
(1) Select Program A004: !{Tricky}Kit !
(2) (5.1) (Global)->[Menu]->[DKit]
(3) Here you can view/edit which Drum Sample(s) are assigned to each
key of the Drum Program. Tip: to easily select a certain key's drum
sound, cursor so that the Note Number is highlighted (the field directly
under the keyboard to the far left, i.e. `C3'), press and HOLD the ENTER
key, and play the note that you wish to edit.
Note: Any changes you make here affect all programs that may use the
Drum Kit that you have edited. And these changes will disappear when
you turn off the Karma UNLESS you use "Write Drum Kits" from the
[Utility] menu.
+ Parameter Guide pages 142-144.

SECTION 1, #17:
17. How can I tell which Drum Sample is on a particular key?
To determine which Sample is on a particular drum key, you can go to
Global (5.1) [Menu]-[DKit]. Select the Drum Kit you want, then hold the
[ENTER] Key and play a note. The display switches to display the data
for the note that you just pressed. The Multisound (sample) number is
displayed near the bottom of the screen, i.e. "305 Cowbell 1". Don't
forget, a single key can have 2 different drum samples, and a velocity
switch point (High/Low tabs). 
=====================================

To which I then asked: 

Is there an "easy way" to ascertain which of the dozens of
sounds mapped within Prog B036 (Standard Kit 2) are being
triggered by Combi E042 (AfricanNostalgia)? Or... Do I have
to just dive in and let my ears be my guide?

=====================================
You might be able to check which GE is doing the drums/percussion, and
reference it against this list of GEs and drum notes:

http://www.karma-lab.com/Files/GE_Drum_Maps.pdf

But sometimes the drum notes are changable by other settings, so in
the end, you may need to go with your ears.

Of course, another easy way is to simply record the combi playing into
a sequencer, and then look at the note numbers for the various sounds.
