The Korg KARMA music workstation was released in 2001 as a specialised member of the Korg Triton family. KARMA stands for Kay's Algorithmic Real-time Music Architecture.[5][6] The unit features up to 62 note polyphony[7] and is 16-part multitimbral. Its sound engine is based on the Korg Triton workstation,[8] although it has fewer features.[9]

Construction[edit]

The center section is made of brushed aluminum, and the side cheeks are constructed from plastic.[10]

Sequencer[edit]

The unit also features a 16-track sequencer with a maximum storage of 200,000 events and 200 songs[11]

Drum kits[edit]

Expansions[edit]

KORG KARMA's presets can be expanded with KORG EXB cards such as EXB-PCM01 (Pianos/Classic Keyboards), EXB-PCM02 (Studio Essentials), EXB-PCM03 (Future Loop Construction), EXB-PCM04 (Dance Extreme), EXB-PCM05 (Vintage Archives), EXB-PCM06/07 (Orchestral Collection), EXB-PCM08 (Concert Grand Piano), EXB-PCM09 (Trance Attack). Moreover, the sound engine can be extended using the valuable 6-voice DSP tone generator derived from the KORG Z1 - EXB-MOSS.
