any feedback would be appreciated

yeah.

 

well, i think it's been all but proven it isn't a KP live.

 

without it being pre-recorded/operated off stage, and the whole process being more hassle than is necessary for a man whose set up (whilst seeming ridiculous) is designed to be as easy/convenient to use as possible.

 

 

if that makes sense.

could explain his tone

 

never thought of that, heh!

 

 

it is weird how he only seems to play MOTP on the XY mansons though....

 

or is that just coincidence, or have i missed something? i'm probably very, very wrong in even suggesting it....

I thought this was explained by that recent Rich Costey article.....

 

it was, i was just trying to prove/disprove the idea it was done on the kaoss pad. i'm not convinced about the three-amp thing live though; that remains a bit of a mystery.

 

 

i dont think matt uses his KP for playing guitar through at all, just for the synth programs; the signal degradation otherwise would be ridiculous.

exactly my thoughts, i think we can safely say it probably isn't a KP2 live at least.

 

 

and we already knew it wasn't a KP2 on the recording either!

 

 

I recorded a better quality version by altering the set up a little bit, still doesnt sound too friendly though.

 

see what you think!!

shit, yeah i noticed it'd gone a bit strange!

just thought i'd fire this in here.....

 

 

 

i've kinda got the effect; using the pitchshifter preset on the KP and tapping the pad. i sampled the tapping sequence using the Pad Motion switch, and sellotaped it down...

 

 

tracking problems and tone-sucking aside, what do you think?

to do this properly (and to maintain guitar tone) i'd guess you'd need to pre-amp the guitar before DI'ing it into the KP; i simply did this recording by taking a line from my amp's line out socket into the Line In on the back of the KP-2.

 

it's a bit of hassle to set this up so i'd assume bellamy doesnt create the effect using a KP2, cos otherwise he'd have to tap in the sequence perfectly pre-song and hold this sequence throughout the song. Looking at the M1D1, it doesnt seem to have the Pad Motion function (this hold a sequence on the pad, ie it remembers your movements for a period of time), so it would have to be performed on the KP2 unit itself with someone holding down the little Pad Motion lever for the whole song.

 

if its the KP, what are the bets on it being operated by a tech somewhere?.....but my guess it defo is not the kaoss pad, despite the fact the sound could probably be recreated on it.
