Video tutorial: KARMA Clusters (Polyphonic Arpeggiators)

Post by QuiRobinez »

Tutorial 02: Clusters - How to program Polyphonic Arpeggiators in KARMA.

Step by step explanation of using Clusters in KARMA arpeggiators. This is an intermediate level tutorial that assumes that you know the basics from KARMA programming as explained in tutorial 1 in my channel.

After watching this video you should be able to create polyphonic arpeggiators and know how to assign new KARMA functions to the Scene switches and change the Rythmic multiplyer of an arpeggiator.

So I hope you like it and can use KARMA in a better way after watching the video.

You can find the video here:

Tutorial 01: KARMA Introduction - How to program your first KARMA GE Arpeggiator for Trance Music for absolute beginners

For a newbie like myself, these videos are fantastic. Thank you for putting in the time to help teach us new things about the Kronos and KARMA. It's greatly appreciated.

Off the charts Qui! Thanks for taking the time..
Extremely helpful programing guide. Opens very interesting doors that have been lurking there all this while and didn't have an idea of how to use it.

thanks for your comments!

Comments on youtube and on forums are my only reference if i'm on the right track with these kind of tutorials and if it's worth the time to create these tutorials, so i'm really glad that you can use these tutorials.

If you got any wishes about a specific area that you would like to see covered then let me know. It doesn't have to be about KARMA. It could also be about Vector Synthesis, Building sounds, Building combi's, using the sequencer, etc.

For now i've focused on KARMA because i know that only a few really understand how to program KARMA. The basics aren't that hard and that's what i've tried to show.

I'd be pleased with anything you decide to cover. And may I ask what program you use to create the videos?

Just curious. I used to do some video stuff way back and may do some in the future. Wanted to know what some of the latest software might be.

Thanks, the video looks professional ... and what is even more important: I learned a lot about Karma (knowing not much about it before).
