I've just received this future loops expansion board. Now I know that there were never any KARMA enabled combis released for this board, but it should still detect and allow me to use the samples, right?

I already have PCM05 (Vintage Archives) installed so I tried swapping them around and one at a time... the Karma just dosn't recognise it at all!
I'm a computer engineer professionally and quite used to handling RAM etc carefully but also can't quite believe they're really that delicate either, especially ROM chips. Anyway the installation was quite routine.
Apparently it was tested in a Triton a few months prior to being sent to me.

Do I just have a dead EXB? Is anyone else using PCM03 Future Loops in their KARMA?

X -

Are you seeing the EXB 3 (Rom) as a choice for waves at the OSC edit level?

IMO the two best EXB's from the standpoint of samples are Vintage (05) which you have, and Trance Attack (09).

I owned the Future loops for a short while and returned it... mostly because I didn't quite get the RPPR functions which are a big part of the "Loops" appeal.

I'm not sure how well those functions come through on KARMA.

On boot up I only see EXB-PCM05 listed.

I was hoping that after I buy the KARMA MW software that I would be able to come up with some interesting GEs to manipulate the loop parts. Or maybe even just using the factory GEs.
I'm also quite comfortable with RPPR but as I say my main interest was from a more experimental point of view.

Are they multisamples or drum kit (single) samples?


It was essentially gifted to me so its not like I've lost out on anything by buying it and finding its not working. Except an anticlimax to a weeks' anticipation being away from my KARMA and looking forward to trying the board.


Just thinking I might be missing something really obvious like having to be in the slots in a certain order or something. I can't remember what I did with the PCM05 but I'm pretty sure its just plug in, turn on, and play.

trance attack sounds interesting though. I like future loops. ... I am so used to doing things by habit... I'm not sure what is related. When you get the Future loops card .. you get Cbank songs with it right? Cbank and Dbank and they load as songs and you go through the keys and each one gives you a loop.
Mine work great, but then you have to record them in some software track (I use sonar) or have some other keyboards running in your midi network to add melody and harmony.
I'm still thinking of shrinking my hardware down because I don't use it all or I don't use it all to the best. To do a great song I think you have to do a lot more programming, or to do great live stuff, you have to practise a lot more button pushing with your keyboard playing.
Some keyboards are good for one song. I have a gig tomorrow ....long distance compared to the usual ones, where they want to hear one song I had on line. .. the gig is a auto show and its 5 hours performing time though. We'll see how it goes.

I like the future loops though.

Note: The EXB-PCM boards work in both the TRITON series and Karma Music Workstations. For the TRITON series the included .PCG file provides new Programs, Combinations, Arpeggios and/or arpeggio assignments and in some titles new drumkits. For the Karma Music Workstation it will provide the same Programs, Combinations and drumkits. However it does not include new GE's or GE assignments. Of course for both products the boards do provide 16 Mbytes of new PCM data!!!


sounds to me like it should work! That sux man.. make sure all the pins are clean. that can make it un recognizable. but if its not working dont leave it in.

To use any EXB-PCM03 Future Loop Expansion .PCG or .SNG files, you have to have the physical EXB-PCM03 board installed.

The Triton Extreme does not contain any of the Sample ROM from EXB-PCM03, and the Extreme does not have any expansion slots.
