KARMA® (Kay Algorithmic Realtime Music Architecture) is a patented algorithmic MIDI data generating technology that takes input notes and controller movements and generates complex musical phrases and effects. KARMA provides independent real-time control over various aspects of a musical phrase, such as rhythm, duration, accents, chord density, pitch bending, tonal variation, panning, repeats, randomization, etc. You can think of it as "an arpeggiator on steroids," although even that description doesn't do it justice. It's simply the most advanced real-time music generation technology available!

More Info - (Long Description)

KARMA Triton is a computer software program, running on PC or Mac platforms. It is a software only version of the same KARMA Technology that is built into Korg's award-winning Karma Music Workstation and amazing OASYS Workstation keyboards. By utilizing your computer and the software, connected to your TRITON via any standard MIDI interface, you can effectively "turn your TRITON into a Karma" and then some!

No, it cannot be installed directly into the TRITON. It runs on your computer, and communicates with your TRITON via MIDI and any standard MIDI interface. There are no modifications to the TRITON or the TRITON OS (operating system).

Using KARMA Triton is similar to using the on-board dual arpeggiators of all TRITON models, except far more advanced and versatile. The TRITON arpeggiator has very little you can vary in realtime other than gate, velocity and tempo, and extremely simple patterns. KARMA has hundreds of parameters that can be varied in real-time, either from the on screen sliders and switches in the "Realtime Controls Editor," or via knobs, sliders and switches from an external control device, such as a Novation Remote 25, Peavey PC-1600, etc.

You can jam with it, use it for inspiration to spark new song ideas, use it generate individual bass lines, synth parts, drum grooves etc. for your own tracks - it's almost like a loop collection that never gets stale. And it's easy to store your own variations and patterns in additional banks within the software - you can even import TRITON arpeggiator patterns and have them instantly turned into KARMA Generated Effects (GEs) that go far beyond the capabilities of the originals!

KARMA Triton comes with the entire factory voicing of the Korg Karma Music Workstation! That's 1190 Generated Effects (GEs), 3 banks of Programs (384 Programs) and 3 banks of Combis (384 Combis), all of them programmed by Korg's top voicing designers to generate intricate and inspirational grooves, textures, ambient pads and sonic mayhem.

And if you feel you've exhausted the possibilities there or just want more, all three of Karma Lab's extremely popular Karma sound sets are available in KARMA Triton versions - another 192 Combis that are even more focused on grooves and song ideas.

Yes, the impressive results generated by KARMA Triton can be recorded either as audio or as MIDI data. First, you can always just record the audio of your TRITON the same way you always do. KARMA Triton generates MIDI, sends it to the TRITON, and you simply record the audio outputs of the TRITON into whatever audio recording device and method you normally use. It then becomes a track of audio data that you use in your project along with other audio tracks. Secondly, the MIDI data generated by KARMA Triton can be recorded into the internal TRITON sequencer, or external software sequencers such as Sonar, DP, Logic, and Cubase (using OMS on the Mac, or our included "Virtual MIDI Device" on Windows). You can then route the output of KARMA directly into your sequencing program - the MIDI data can then be played back, edited, overdubbed etc. and become part of your project, while you use KARMA Triton to generate other parts.

Yes, but only if you actually have a Korg TRITON connected to the software. The TRITON must be located on the global port settings. Then, you can send the algorithmic effects being generated by KARMA to any device that is part of your MIDI setup. And by using OMS (on the Mac) or our included "Virtual MIDI Device" (on Windows), you can also control many soft synths and audio generating programs such as Reason.
