crazybobbles Posted August 8, 2011 Share Posted August 8, 2011 nearing the time to get myself a kaoss pad nows for mb-1. need to pro and con up kp2 vs kp3. thoughts? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bs Posted August 8, 2011 Share Posted August 8, 2011 KP3 every time for me, but it depends what you want to use it for. I personally want to use it to control filters, modulation, time based effects and so on, and the KP3 is better for those. It's also my user friendly than the KP2 in my opinion and has more features, better layout, etc. KP2 is better for all the Muse stuff. Invincible chorus synth, kaoss jam, SBH solo, random squiggley spaceship noises, etc. KP2 has way more of those types of things than the KP3 (most of them were removed from the KP3 which is more effect based, but then the Kaossilator was released which is entirely synth based, so that has those kinds of things too). Like I say, it depends what you really want to use it for! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bs Posted August 8, 2011 Share Posted August 8, 2011 Yeah, the KP3 does still have some synth sounds, just not the same ones, and not as many. Most of it is filters and effects and so on, but there are still a handful of synth and drum sounds that you can play around with. You won't be able to mimic the Muse sounds, but as you just said you're not bothered about that, then it shouldn't be an issue. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bs Posted August 8, 2011 Share Posted August 8, 2011 Yeah, I'm considering waiting until January to get my KP. It means I have a couple of months of nothing to use the XY pad for, but at least it means I can be sure I don't spend £300 on a KP3 before a new one gets unveiled at NAMM! And yeah, it took me months to find a good couple of KP demos on YouTube. Sorry that I don't have the links any more. KP3 suits my needs more anyway.

JimboMansonMB-1 Posted August 8, 2011 Share Posted August 8, 2011 I'm eventually going to swap my KP2 for a KP3 for filters n' shit and a Kaossilator Pro for synthy weirdness. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bs Posted August 9, 2011 Share Posted August 9, 2011 There's an official comparison video on YouTube somewhere showing what you can do if you have a Kaossilator going into a Kaoss Pad. Not only does it demonstrate their differences and advantages, but it really shows their potential if you're using them together with both hands.

JimboMansonMB-1 Posted August 9, 2011 Share Posted August 9, 2011 I saw one demo that was like "Yeah, the XY is touch-sensitive, so you can use your hands to control it...or, any other...appendage..." Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

crazybobbles Posted September 2, 2011 Share Posted September 2, 2011 got kaoss pad 3 nows had a lot of fun already. need to get a separate mic to do random vocoder stuff one thing i wanna try out is using the hd500 as a midi controller to change the programs on the kaoss pad, anyone have any experience on that?

Bs Posted September 2, 2011 Share Posted September 2, 2011 Nice! I'm not sure when I'll be getting my KP3 yet. I'm thinking I might wait until January just to be sure they don't announce a KP4 at NAMM. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JJ Posted September 2, 2011 Share Posted September 2, 2011 Nice! I'm not sure when I'll be getting my KP3 yet. I'm thinking I might wait until January just to be sure they don't announce a KP4 at NAMM. I should bloody hope not! Bear in mind the Kaoss Pad QUUUAAAADDDD came out not too long ago. If that is meant to be the KP4, I do not know. got kaoss pad 3 nows had a lot of fun already. need to get a separate mic to do random vocoder stuff one thing i wanna try out is using the hd500 as a midi controller to change the programs on the kaoss pad, anyone have any experience on that? Awesome! I expect some artsy shots of it on Flickr! And a cheeky demo plz. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bs Posted September 3, 2011 Share Posted September 3, 2011 The Quad is actually different to the other KPs in that if my understanding is correct, it lets you control four parameters at once or something. However it has less effects, less options, and has no midi compatibility, so it's something different and separate to the main KP line I think. It's not meant as a replacement for the KP3 anyway. So I'm just thinking I might wait and see in the new year just in case they do announce a new one. If not then I can go for the KP3 with my mind at ease.

Wiki says that the KP3 has been around since 2006. I feel old Then again, if a new one is brought out, there's also the benefit that the current model will go down in price! I'll be honest, I'd still probably get a KP2 if I was offered one for a decent price. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm also not entirely sure if I have 30 quid anyway edit: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9TFW0MwXMPU Not bad that. Build quality is a bit poo from the looks of things.

I'm thinking I might wait until January just to be sure they don't announce a KP4 at NAMM. i kinda want the kaossilator more now. i'd rather have more synths than effects. not sure if they'll update the kaoss pad this year, just seems like they've settled with kp3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bs Posted September 5, 2011 Share Posted September 5, 2011 To be honest the Kaossilator and Kaoss Pad 3 make for a superb combination, so if they were planning to update, they'd have to do both at the same time, which I'm not sure if they have a need to. So I'm not expecting a new one, but I might wait just in case. I can't afford it yet anyway. Might just take the battery out of the MB1 when I get it to save it for a few months! If you get the Kaossilator, I'd definitely be interested to see that used with the MB1. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
