Software

THIRD PARTY

Support Site: KARMA OASYS software
Mac/PC software that allows you to use the award-winning KARMA Version 2.0 technology with the Korg OASYS. KARMA OASYS software runs on your PC/Mac and communicates with your Korg OASYS via a standard MIDI Interface connection.

Available at: www.karma-lab.com

KARMA OASYS Software Features:

• Complete access to the 400+ parameters making up a KARMA GE (Generated Effect). These parameters are mostly hidden in the OASYS with a maximum of 32 being available (per GE), but you can view and edit all of them using the software, along with the Performance parameters associated with each KARMA Module.

• Graphical editing and creation of Drum Patterns, Rhythm Patterns, Duration Patterns, Index Patterns, Cluster Patterns, Velocity Patterns, CC Patterns, Wave-Sequence Patterns, Envelopes, Note Maps, and more!

• Create new GEs, and edit existing GEs into new configurations. Download the GEs to the OASYS via MIDI SysEx Dump, or via export to a .KGE file.

• One-step MIDI (SysEx) upload/download of Programs, Combis, Drum Kits & other OASYS data.

• Import phrases and drum grooves from the OASYS's internal sequencer, or from any .MID source (such as external sequencers) and transform them into KARMA GEs. Automatically assign GE Parameters and RTC Models and instantly begin varying your phrase in the usual KARMA manner.

• Captivating, real-time visual display of the generated MIDI data.

• Popup tooltips and context-sensitive Help provide comprehensive documentation of all features.

• Available for both Mac OS X and Windows XP platforms (Vista compatibility available later).
