The Korg KARMA music workstation was released in 2001 as a specialised member of the Korg Triton family.

Unlike most other Korg workstation names, the KARMA name is rendered in capitals as an acronym for the Kay Algorithmic Realtime Music Architecture. KARMA was developed by Stephen Kay as a system to generate complex musical phrases and passages in realtime to expand the capabilities of single performer. Unlike traditional synthesizer arpeggiators, KARMA phrases can evolve as parameters such as rhythmic complexity, patterns, and velocity are changed by the performer.

KARMA technology has now appeared in a second Korg workstation, the Korg OASYS. Introduced in mid 2007, the Korg M3 also sports the latest 2nd generation KARMA functionality.

As a member of the Triton family, the Korg KARMA uses the same HI sample-based synthesis techniques as the other Triton workstations and uses the same expansion ROMs. It can be upgraded with the MOSS modelling synthesizer module.
