Cupe Posted February 16, 2010 Share Posted February 16, 2010 The KP3 comes equipped with 128 newly developed effect programs designed to appeal to musicians, producers and DJs alike. Sure, the traditional effects are there delays, flangers and more. But using up-to-the-minute algorithms, the KP3 also provides exciting new effects, such as a grain shifter, decimator, a vintage analog style filter with a tone-bending drive circuit and expanded EQs that are controlled directly from the pad. And moving beyond effects, there are also drum grooves and even RADIAS-inspired vocoder and synthesizer sounds that can be played free-form on the X/Y pad.As you move your finger across the touchpad and find that sweet spot, pressing the Hold button will freeze the settings, so you can take your hand away to do other things. The LED grid on the touchpad will show the held location, so you can pick up where you left off without any jumps. Better yet, Pad Motion can memorize and repeat a fluid or complex gesture played on the pad. A separate FX Depth knob sets the overall balance between the original signal and the effect, so you can add just the right amount of processing. The eight Program Memory buttons allow you to store all of this information Program Number, Hold button On/Off status (and coordinates), Pad Motion, and the FX depth setting to a single button for instant access during performance. Another new innovation in the KP3 is called FX Release. Basically, FX Release adds an adjustable delay tail (at the current tempo) when you remove your finger from the pad, providing an additional creative tool for the performer. This also prevents the abrupt dropping out of the effect as you transition from one setting to another. The FX Release amount can be set and saved individually with each program.

LabRat Posted February 19, 2010 Share Posted February 19, 2010 Very boob question but how do I hook this up to my mixer? I have a numark 5000fx and can't seem to get it to work. Is it because my mixer already has effects? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
