yup, i won´t pretend that i fully understand karma- only tried a few presets and and listened to a few karma demos
i dont want a "ready machine", i just think most karma created stuff i heard before sounds pretty arpeggiated and i think it is much easier for me if i simply record my music the way i want it in a sequencer (not necessarily in one with arranger features like transposition by play) and record different takes of it / copy/paste & alter it, or even program it entirely in the sequencer to make different variations.
of course such changes have to be done beforehand and except for the parameters that i was mentioning with the yamaha stuff, wont be as dynamic
what i meant is that it is at least to my understanding not the ultimate tool, and everyone likes to work differently:
a classicaly trained piano player with no exposure to computer- or sequencer technology propably would not want to tinker with it (nor would he with arrangers / sequencers of course)
others want to write their music primarily with analog step sequencers
you seem to dig karma it seems, but you are a great player, you could have created that stuff no problems without the help of karma!
my way of getting other ideas is ie. programming instead of playing by hand or using the 16 pads of the mpc1000 that i acquired just recently (which also happens to incorporate a kickass sequencer
) to play melodies.
i´m pretty sure karma is not the better tool for me
very nice videos btw, really liked those!
