Is there a way to make your own pattern when you chose chords? I'm trying to reproduce the sound you hear on Du Hast - Rammstein. I know that can be sampled etc... But I actually wanted to try to make on Karma so that I could understand better how the setting up works. I actually did get pretty close yesterday but the pattern that is playing is a little off from the original which is kind of a very simple pattern.
So at the same time I know it's something simple but I have not much knowledge on Karma I was wondering if that could be done there or it would be better to forget it and sample it.
Thanks guys
No, you can't roll your own on Karma/Kronos. You would need the software.
You can get variation on some patterns. I am not familiar with Du hast.
If you have your your chords down, you could make a track in SEQ. And build from there.

I don't remember what the synth on "Du Hast" is doing, but another option to KARMA is to use the step sequencer. If you have a specific rythem pattern or so to play with a single keypress that is often a good choice

No, it is a separate feature from KARMA, look it up in the guide

RPPR on the Kronos could probably allow one to cover quite a few parts of Rammstein's Du Hast single handedly. There are quite a few YouTube videos covering RPPR, mostly on other Korg keyboards, but the basic principle is common.
A taster in RPPR, done on the M50. Not exactly Neue Deutsche Härte rock but...

Anyone tried this Karma rhythm pattern setting to 123 trick as per this video that makes your own wave sequence into a Karma pattern?

Karma is not the same as a step sequencer. I think its a good idea to know exactly what Karma is, how sophisticated it is.
Sure, we can make our own user ARP's thats correct. And yes, within a Combi,you can take your user ARP ( or wav seq) and assign it to Karma and use Karma to latch your user ARP, setting key zones.
I don't know about the 123 trick.
It is a good demo combining the features of Kronos.

Often the simplest solution is the best.

I've never been a sequencer user before so I'm sorry if my request was really noob. But I solved the problem simply going for the easiest solution since I needed the sound working shortly so I could practice with the band.
I did use the sample LOL.
RPPR or Step Sequencer is the way to go.
Karma is great For Generating Fresh Ideas/Patterns and many other things. Replicating Existing stuff is not its forte.
