musecasters Posted November 19, 2009 Share Posted November 19, 2009 No it's made by me, I take 1 year to get information and create the card for transmit x-y axis. Now i go with midi wireless, there's no cables around I have to calculate how much I spent for take it from hell but not so much like a Manson Now i have to get a better light fx and it's perfect! good job, now you just need to smash it in half Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ModernMyth Posted January 4, 2010 Share Posted January 4, 2010 After seeing Total Guitars article on how to make a guitar like Matts, i wanted to do it. I understand everything and priced it all up. I have seen a guide on the net but this involves taking the kaoss pad apart, I just wondered if anyone could tell me were to buy or how to make a x-y pad with the backing lights and run through midi to the kaoss pad. Thanks in advance Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks in advance I heard on the grapevine Gazlang sells X-Y kits (i think) not too pricey either... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DarthWenus Posted January 5, 2010 Share Posted January 5, 2010 Is there a more effective way to hook up a KP2? Normally, mine is hooked up using the Mic In port and the Line Out ports on the back. I find this method to be rather weak since the kp2 degrades the signal quite harshly. :S Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AAAAAND...I THINK that's about it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DJF Posted January 19, 2010 Share Posted January 19, 2010 Short answer is; you don't. The KP has so many more uses than making stupid synth noises no more than a handful of times in an entire set. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't think it's wrong, becasue if he upgrades his guitar, he can still install the kaoss pad in it. Same goes for any effect, like Fuzz Factory, which by the way you can build yourself for 20€, it's a very simple circuit. Edit: By the way, the Pacifica is said to have the quality of much higher priced guitars. The thing is that the standard pickups are rubbish.

james90 Posted January 20, 2010 Share Posted January 20, 2010 and,if you're gonna hack your guitar apart there's less financial damage if you make a mess of it That's true. A certain 'luthier' offered to do an X-Y mod to an expensive and irreplaceable guitar of mine apparently. pacificas are nice guitars in that price range, but the pickups are garbage. there were a few design flaws on mine as well, probably just to save money.

james90 Posted January 20, 2010 Share Posted January 20, 2010 Go on... i'm surprised you actually call him a "luthier" Not DAMAGE, but still ... damage. And I probably should be calling him a butcher I guess. Sherpa, I'd like to apologize. Back in Spetember/October, I was well drunk off my ass down in Okehamptom at about 2am. I decided it would be great fun to toss the guitar back and forth between Danny and myself, both trying out our Bell0rz skillz. In the midst of that, I knocked it quite a few times into an oak chair. It wasnt anything big, but enough to go "oh hey, i just knocked a hella expensive guitar into an oak chair." But I was REALLY drunk, for the first time in my life. It doesn't look like the guitar sustained any damage, but I'd like you to know, that I was a bitchin' Bellamy at the time. Ive never done a more bad ass plug in baby in my entire life. It included vocals too you guys. But I recall another post about that ding on the headstock. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
