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]
