How can I record just the knobs and keyboard chords into my (external) sequencer, so that I can generate the same performance again?

There are (2) ways you could conceivably work with recording KARMA
effects into an external sequencer.
(1) Record all the data that KARMA is generating. Then KARMA Off, and
the finished track is in your sequencer. Massage and edit it further in
the sequencer. Use KARMA later maybe for other tracks. Let’s call this
“pre” processing, i.e. you record the effect to tape.
(2) Record just the chords you play on the keyboard, and the knob
movements. Then, use this a sort of a “post” processing, where you play
this data back into KARMA and it generates the same sort of
performance everytime, without actually recording it. This requires
sending the knob data and keyboard data to the external sequencer, but
somehow “separating it” from everything that is being generated.
I believe the way it works is this: the keyboard, knobs and switches are
sent on the Global Channel in Prog and Combi Mode. When you are in
Seq Mode, they are sent on the Track Channel that you are playing. So
to record just the keyboard and knob movements (in Seq Mode for
example), you would need to set up the routing something like this: Play
on Track01. Set KARMA MIDI I/O so that any modules being used are
listening to Ch01 as Input. But then make sure they are sending to any
OTHER Channel than 01. In other words, put a guitar sound on
Track02/Channel 02, and a Guitar GE in Module A. Route the KARMA
MIDI I/O so that Module A has Input Channel 01, but Output Channel
02. Then Play on Track01, and record (in Cakewalk) the output of
Channel01. You should get just the keyboard and knob movements.
Then, when you send that back to the KARMA, it will enter on
Channel01, and cause the exact same results as if you had played it
again.
