Will I able to purchase and install the Vienna piano, for example, without disturbing the rest of the patches I've tweaked. I'm guessing you buy the libraries and install after the 1.05 update is installed so you have an unused location to store them. Same question for the 1.05 update...will that effect any of the currently tweaked patches.

Karma will be almost completely new for me when I buy a Kronos.
The reason I don't buy it for my M50 is because it is not within the synth and I use my synth only for gigging.

Since most of it is rhythm based I find its usefulness limited in a band context.

Yes, that's another reason, it's more like a 'toy' (without disrespect for karma, it has much more capabilities than a normal arpeggiator). However, there was only one song I used the arpeggiator (and we don't play that song anymore). I even don't use a sequencer (we do everything live).

So then it would be nice for 'just playing at home and have fun' ... guess I can wait for the Kronos which has a builtin version.

I know what you mean. It comes into its own much more as an inspirational or groove tool in the studio. Another thing that held me back was that it's so incredibly complicated to work all the parameters effectively. Because it does so many different things, and every GE has different parameters (some of which are things like "increase note duration" or "increase interval") it's almost never very straightforward to edit.

One thing I did use it for live (way back with my red Karma) was an awesome harp arpeggio/glissando. I think I copied the GE from a patch called "Piano/AT" (presumably AfterTouch) where you could trigger the arpeggio (and its speed/intensity) with aftertouch. It used the scale or chord you were playing. Really cool amd useful! Ever try playing a one handed up/down glissando in Eb-major? Smile

The enter button doubles as a tap tempo. On the Extreme and the Karma it's not very usable, there are no decimals and it tends to be just slightly off. Waiting to see how this will be on Kronos.
