YOU MADE ME HAPPY WITH THIS!!

I was using this like 10+ years ago when they came out, hours and hours of fun!!! Pair it with a loop station, done:)

Great guide. I have the KP2 and just recently started experimenting with intergrading it into my effects chain. The only thing I have to change from your guide is that my amps do not have an FX Loop so I just go to the front of the amp. I just mitigate the signal degradation through a buffer.

Hello again, been a while since I comment on here but just wanted to say still loving the content. Your channel has been invaluable in learning kaossilator and kp3 which are about only things I use for music, few other here and there. I'm planning on getting bass guitar once I can afford to plug in can t wait to come back to this to learn how to try it out. Thanks for all the teaching thru the years and looking forward to the next one.

Hey man, great to see another person using the kp3 for guitar! For the longest time I actually used the Behringer FCB1010 to control it. Assigned the number to presets and had the 2 expression pedals assigned to X axis on one and Y axis on the other. Was super cool, now working on setting it up so my Synthstrom Deluge can control it!

using the KP3 with your foot : A tier using the KP3 with your sock off: S tier

Interesting and creative way of using the kaoss pad, would love to see how you use it with a regular synth setup

great video! love the kaoss pad and kaossilator. I have synths and guitars, originally a guitar player though

Exactly what I want to buy a kp3 for, using in the guitar fx chain. My plan was just connecting the guitar to an audio interface with the kp3 also connected

The intro sounded like “turbo lover” 😂

Thanks for this video. You encouraged me to get my KP3 out and start experimenting with it. Have a great day, and best wishes for your continued success/fun with music 🎶🌎☮❤

Nice tutorial- I hadn't thought of it as a mutli effects device for guitar, I use mine for part of my live techno set up- I espescially like the granular looper to add glitch style effects, I have the KP3 + so I can build up loops using the 4 loop buttons should I want to, it's something I haven't really used much as yet.

VOCALS AND GUITAR..WELL ALMOST EVERYTHING.

I'm a guitar player, and I had KP3 for some time. I loved the look and the concept, buy I was struggling too much to get interesting or useful effects from it, so I sold it.

It’s a great device.

Check out Nels Cline's (Wilco) guitar rig where you find a Kaos pad in between a lot of other great effects pedals.

I use it on my guitar and bass guitar, mostly I like to sample in the 4 slots and add effects etc and record to my DAW, so it's more of a studio tool, sometimes I use it as an effect on live playing sometimes. I do mostly industrial experimental stuff.

You can power this with 9vdc, just make sure it has enough amps. KP3+ is power hungry at boot. It is just opposite polarity as a normal guitar pedal. MyVolts makes a nice polarity switcher/adaptor cable. Also no need for an external looper, that's what this thing is at heart. Instead of pressing record (to record unmodulated input), try shift record (to record modulated by the KP3). I've never tried one but I would very much like a foot pedal for these. Once you have a recording, press shift and the button you recorded to. This will enable you to edit the sample. Try turning off some of the horizontal buttons just above the screen. Lots of neat stuff in a KP3. You can also use it as a midi controller for external gear.

I like your videos a lot, thanks! You have a new subscriber, and you deserve more! I'll tell my friends ;) I DEFINITELY have used my KP3+ (I know not exactly the same device but close enough) with my foot while playing guitar or with other instruments / machines.. it's not easy lol. But I've thought recently about building my own apparatus to actuate the butttons (at least the sample banks) with foot pedals.. I'll let you know if I make any progress haha

I have an Ibanez RGKP6 that is fairly funky (just have to get all the output levels set evenly for all the effects) that I am greatly enjoying. Have to see about getting a similar setup as to what you are doing. Thanks for this video.

kp3 is an effect device. Have fun.👍😊

I,m DAWless. To apply more effects i use 2 stereo loopers /ditto + ammoon, more affordable with reverse, halfspeed/. KP3 is a crazy tool, but i need a 72 hours day without 💤

yeah man great to see this video, my chain is Guitar-Boss rc500-Kp3-Axeiosolo-Mac :) I can do infinite things with this set up, what do you think about it?

Hey man, the power supply is 12volts. You can chop the plug cable and connect it to a little motorcycle battery. With the Kaossilator Pro; it's 9volts. You can buy a super cheap 12v to 9v step down transformer from eBay. Great video.

Jonny Greenwood was the first I saw use it

Search XY Midi Pad by Amptonelab. Get it, sacrifice a project guitar like an SG shape guitar that has very good amount of flat area behind the bridge are, have a guitar luther to do the recommended cavity and routing measurement by Amptonelab and then fix the XY Midi Pad on it. once done, from your guitar, you can have touch midi control to your Kaoss Pad. I did it before for my SG shape project guitar. Felt almost like Matt Bellamy guitar...almost... lol.

Still i didn't find how to control the Pad motion button via midi messages for a midi foot controller. And still didnt find a way to activate it directly in one of the 8 presets, only the Hold button does that. Anybody got an idea of how to do it?

I have a pedalboard I use on the table top... it has a drum machine running through an effects pedal into the ditto X4 looper.. and my guitar running through the other effects pedals into the ditto X4 looper.. how do I hook up the Korg kaoss pad to the Looper to be able to affect the overall loop with the sound effects from the cord? Do I do this with MIDI cables?

Thanks so much! I have KP3 hooped up on the floor with my pedal board but only for applying effects coming out of my looper pedal which is great as you do not missing expression foot pedal like changes as I will be playing lead over looper via a different signal chain. A question if I may. What is the advantage of using Mic Input of KP3? I am using Line In to take signal from my pedal. Thanks.

Lo malo es que no se puede tener un cambio de sonido por pedales.. si hubiera una posibilidad de conexión a algún sistema de pedales.. seria lo maximo

Thank you SO much for this thorough run down of how to connect a Korg Kaoss Pad with line level instrument!! I have been wanting to connect my bass for years but was stumped by how to route signal. Steve Lawson, a brilliant bass player doing primarily solo loop performing, always has this in his fx chain. (Here's Steve from 5 years ago with 3 of the KP minis in his rig. He starts using them around 2:15 into the piece: kzfaq.info/get/bejne/nOB_p6yAvJ6seZs.html). Liked and subscribed. Thank you again! Super clear video.

Hey, I'm trying to figure out how to sample guitar efficiently. I can't find any way to start sampling on the KP3 without losing some beats from the sample because I have to quickly move my hands back to the guitar and I can't get there in time and it's just too finicky

There’s no real-time interactivity doing this, but different strokes…
