Re: semi-OT: korg mini-kaoss pad??



Do DJs have drum machines going or do they make their mixes beforehand?  If they make the mixes ahead of time then it makes sense to use RCA jacks because the sound would be coming out of  a cd player or sound card.  Or turntable.  I would have kept mine if it had not had the attenuation and jack issues.

just a little side note........

the KP and Kaossilator both work fine powered by a Sony PSP handheld consoe adapter I got one for each of mine for £3 a piece with shipping from china!

the kp units are great but i have always found that they attenuate my signal a lot I have never tried running one in a mixer aux type situation but for me the noise floor is enough to put me off using it more which is a shame.........

also I spoke to a Korg guy at a trade show and surgested they made a KP3(L) version with the L being for (LIVE) and having all jacks rather then RCAs (HATE those things) and a more instrument orientated gain structure.. he actually bothered to write down my feedback and also smiled a knowing smile..heres hoping!!

Scott,

Oh yeah, much fun. I've been running one in the effects loop of my POD X3 Pro for quite a while. I have 4 cables with RCA jacks on one end and 1/4" jacks on the other to run the unit in stereo. Occasionally I'll "play the pad" but most often will put it in "hold" mode and dial-in a tone with the pad. At the press of a button I can knock it out of the loop if I'm not using it. Heck the High Pass Filter is worth the price of admission. I added the appropriate Korg power supply for a few bucks. 

This past Friday I got a good deal on a KP3 after watching for one for several weeks. The KP3 allows for sampling and resampling, like the old Boss SP-303, and has a few other features. If you're just after the effects the miniKP gets the job done just fine. They are going for $119 new with no shipping on eBay. Commercial ON - I'm selling my miniKP with the powersupply on eBay now. - Commercial OFF.

All the best,
