S.Kay NAMM 2012
You may know KARMA from the fact that it's been an important feature of many Korg high-end workstations, such as the Kronos, OASYS, M3 and original Karma Workstation. KARMA Developer Stephen Kay is now making it possible for Motif XF and XS owners to have an even more advanced version (v 3.0) of the same KARMA technology with the release of KARMA Motif Software. Running on your PC (Mac/Windows), the KARMA Motif provides you with all of the inspirational and interactive KARMA features of Korg’s flagship workstations and then some - at a fraction of the cost. The only difference is that the KARMA engine is provided by the computer, not built-in to the keyboard. KARMA Motif uses the Song/Mixing Mode of the Motif to provide 16 part multi-timbral templates with the kind of fully interactive real-time controlled grooves that only KARMA can produce.
