(I'll speak somewhat out of turn, here, since I don't have either of these
devices...)

I assume that the KARMA chord buttons are triggered ON with a CC above a
threshold value and OFF when the same CC's value falls below a given
threshold.  In other words, it works just like a note-on/-off pair except
that it's a CC message instead.

I'd think the Behringer FCB0101 set for note-on/-off operation coupled to a
MIDI Solutions Mapper would work.

The FCB0101 sends a note-on on press and a note-off on release.  The Mapper
converts the note-on/-off to CC messages.
