* With Karma Oasys Software (KO) running on your PC/Mac, you get complete access to every feature of the Karma engine, not just the part that is brought to the surface in the keyboard.
* Use KO's graphical interface to discover and manipulate the Karma Function within your Programs and Combis. Whether you're creating sounds from scratch or using the factory sounds, KO's visual controls and displays provide the ultimate insight into the world of Karma.
* Operate the Karma Software as an additional 6 modules at the same time as using the 4 modules of the internal Karma Function in the Oasys, for up to 10 modules: it’s like having two and a half Oasys's at once.
* Develop your own Generated Effects (GE's) for unlimited musical possiblities. Import .MID files and grab phrases directly from the Oasys sequencer, and instantly turn them into GEs. Then, upload (via SysEx) your new GE's to the Oasys.
* Karma Oasys provides some additional features not found in the Oasys, such as 32 Scenes per Module per Performance (instead of 8), 16 Chord Trigger Buttons (Pads) per Performance instead of 8, the ability to give each Module and Scene a descriptive name, and more. These features cannot be imported into the Oasys, but are available while using the 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).
