Seems to me you could use a pad controller too, for controlling loops a la ableton. The only thing is I think you have to mute the old pattern when you switch to a new one, or it'll play both.

I finally found out on how to realize my desired setup using (almost) just the KRONOS. Making use of external MIDI In as proposed earlier in this thread is the basic concept to trigger KARMA over a whole chord progression. However, it is not necessary to employ any external MIDI device or DAW - A simple MIDI cable is enough.

It is possible to loop back MIDI Out to MIDI In using the MIDI cable, then in Global P1: MIDI 1-1a MIDI Setup I deactivate Local Control On, and enable Enable MIDI In to KARMA Module. At the same time, Enable KARMA Module to MIDI Out is being disabled.

From this basic setup, I record a chord progression onto one or more tracks in Sequencer mode by just striking the chord notes in the same way as if I would play to trigger KARMA. During recording KARMA is switched off, however, so just the notes that I played are recorded.

When having recorded all the tracks that are to sound, each of the recorded tracks can trigger another KARMA module when playing back the tracks. But instead of just the chord notes the KARMA modules will play - fantastic Very Happy
