Hi,
In 'Sweeping Swooshie' combi, KARMA produces an arpeggio with timbre 4 sound (Module Run A). If switch 1 is pressed, chord is also played. I copied this combi to sequencer, but somehow while recording, switch 1 functioning was deactivated. I cannot find where this is located in order to bring it back. Any help please?
Note that switch 1 also triggers IFX-10 but this is irrelevant I guess.

taking a guess.

I don't get the chord when I press Karma Scene 1
And press Mix select 1/Karma Switches

Only the little ARP program sound plays- Popcorn Hit in timbre 4

Either in Combi or SEQ mode

Anyway, you should have both Karma's in the ON position

Karma ON/[off] light or LED ON

Under the Control assign column , there are 5 buttons.
The 4th button is titled RT knobs/Karma. This LED light
should be on, too

The Switch 1 On off could be find at track 1 as Control Change CC#80.
I reproduce your situation and start the recording with SW1 on then I set to Off during recording.
Try to open the Track Edit page, MENU bar and open the MIDI EVENT EDIT. Unselect the Note, Pitch Bend and other events except the Control Change. Navigate on all measures.
Find the Control Cc#80 and delete it.

Yes KARMA is on.
Actually I was wondering where in KARMA menu, switch 1 is programmed for triggering chords add-on.

Thanks

I mean switch 1 on the left of Kronos, not Karma sw 1 to 8.

Out of curiosity I looked into this. I hear, I think, the effect you are talking about. But it does not seem that KARMA is adding the chords. Rather, switch 1 is apparently "doubling" the sound with a lower octave in the Popcorn program, and the chordal effect is accentuated by the fact that switch 1 kicks in IFX 10 Stereo Flanger which for some reason really emphasizes the chords. But if you turn off all the IFX in the original combi, and solo Timbre 4, and play with switch 1, you will hear that the KARMA phrase is not changing; rather the oscillator mix of Popcorn is...

Well, I listened more carefully and indeed chords are there anyway, with switch-1 unrelated to them... but for my ears, chords were hidden behind delay from IFX8 when switch was off...

Funny thing of this all is that my cat discovered this effect for me with walking on Kronos and pressing the switch Very Happy

Thank you all
