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!
@@hunterjacob5606 Sorry man, I ended up selling it since I just control my KP3 from my Synthstrom Deluge now, but I'll see if ai can dig up the original video I found for ya
This is an idea that crossed my mind some years ago but I wasn’t sure it would work. Only recently saw some videos of Nels Cline doing this and now I’m intrigued!
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.
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 🎶🌎☮❤
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
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 super fun to experiment with but there are many other multi effects pedals out there that do almost all the same things, sound better and don't require hands to operate.
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.
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.
A hands free looping mod would make this thing incredible. I've played with using a looper pedal before the kp3 and recording samples to the sample banks that way but it's not the best workflow. Thanks for the info on powering with a 9vdc. I might have to check that out!!
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.
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
pretty sure that is doable.. i dunno anything about MIDI.. if there was a way to send live foot-pedal commands via midi? haha idk.. I have the most fun just experimenting w different configurations.. I made some pretty cool beats with only tuna cans (I washed em first), my voice, a shitty old Radio Shack mic, and the KP3+... also wrote a lil program to generate PWM tones (melodies and "beats".. kinda) with an Arduino and wired it up w a preamp on a breadboard and control it with an old laptop keyboard to introduce live lofi sounds... sounds like crap but its fun :D
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 💤
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.
@@OffShiftProductions , it is a great first step (for me). Learning which patches require a finger on the touch pad vs others that just require an initial touch is a bit of a climb and chews up the batteries to no end. This said, I am going to do my best to replicate what you’ve done with my preferred 9-string guitars.
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.
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?
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.
If you're going straight from your guitar in to the kp3 or using a mono pedal before the KP3 mic input works because you don't have to mess with getting a TS to RCA splitter cable to get signal. But I've used stereo fx pedals in a fx loop and used the line in as well. I think it's mostly just preference of how you set it up.
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?
MIDI only carries data, so if you want to affect the sound you'd have to integrate the KP3 via audio cables, most like RCA to 1/4 cables. Tough to know without seeing your set up. Good luck!
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: ruclips.net/video/fzOtIOW8HIg/видео.html). Liked and subscribed. Thank you again! Super clear video.
Thank you so much for these kind words! I will definitely check out that video. Glad that you found my video helpful. Lots of trial and error involved with finding the right signal path.
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
Yeah it's really tough to loop guitar on the kp3. Best I can offer is get a looper pedal, record your part on that and then sample it on the kp3. Good luck!
@@blackoes I would just get somethig cheap to start with. I have a looper pedal from donner that was like $40. See if it's something that's going to work for you and then upgrade to a nicer pedal with more features. Be sure to use a metronome so you get your bpm dialed in with the kp3 and loop pedal.

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:)

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

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

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

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
Might be able to control effects with a midi controller pedal.

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