Keys Posted December 16, 2006 Share Posted December 16, 2006 hi, what leads do i need to connect a guitar to a kaoss pad, i know theres a line in on the front, but what special leads are needed to connect it to the back of the pad thanks:) think its called a search lead. You can get the red/ white ones to a guitar jack. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alex1310 Posted December 16, 2006 Share Posted December 16, 2006 1/4" Lead in to the Mic input I wouldn't reccomend that lead though, it distors REAL easily, and it's almost impossible to get a clean sound. I would get an adapter and get a 1/4" to stereo (red andw hite) line in, and line out with the red and whites, and adapt it to the 1/4" again. You get a much better quality sound.

YellowSphere Posted December 16, 2006 Share Posted December 16, 2006 First of all, the connectors on the back are called RCA or phono, second of all, just use a mono one to input. Use a mono on the output also if you're plugging into an amp or a mono pedal. You can pick these leads up most places, but somewhere like Maplin is likely to be your best bet. Also, if you're planning on going straight into the Kaoss Pad from the guitar, a jack to phono adapter would most likely be better, or even a really short lead with a jack extension slot and a single RCA the other end, a little more secure than a straight adapter. Doesn't matter so much with the other, as long as it's long enough. Also, bear in mind that the Kaoss Pad sounds wank for guitar effects. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nicoyabe Posted December 21, 2006 Share Posted December 21, 2006 Hi, could someone tell me what's the name of the effect that Matt uses in "Forced in" live on his kaoss pad and do you know if this effect exist also on the KP3? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jacky Boy Posted December 22, 2006 Share Posted December 22, 2006 Nice helpful post there ^^ Hi, could someone tell me what's the name of the effect that Matt uses in "Forced in" live on his kaoss pad and do you know if this effect exist also on the KP3? I just looked on korg's website and it says the kp3 has 128 newly developed effects programs on it so there probably won't be the exact same effect, but there will probably be a very similar one.

coffee_and_tv Posted December 24, 2006 Share Posted December 24, 2006 Hi, could someone tell me what's the name of the effect that Matt uses in "Forced in" live on his kaoss pad and do you know if this effect exist also on the KP3? iirc it sounds like hes sampled his own voice and is using the kp pad as a controller for a vocoder using the voice sample... maybe?

I checked both KP2 and KP3: The "forced in" voice effect is in the Kp2 (Matt put a bit more delay than the regular setting ) but it's not on the KP3...

benashhug Posted April 17, 2007 Share Posted April 17, 2007 Right here we go.. I currently have a KP1 (Soon recieving a Mini KP), and I was wondering something the other day. When Matt uses his kaoss pad, he obviously isn't playing anything on the guitar, and when he touches the pad, an effect still comes out. Now, when I touch the XY pad, no sounds come out, UNLESS there is a sound coming through it (i.e. from a mic or my guitar). So, the only way I can use the kaoss pad is when I hit the strings, and then play with the pad for the few seconds that the noise is being amplified. Now, I can get constant use of the pad if I put my fuzz factory through it, while it is oscillating/squealing, but unfortunately, this is rather annoying, as when I stop touching the pad, i get the squealing, which was nice at first, now crap. So, my question is: Is there any way I can use the pad and get noise from it, without having to put a noise through it, like the oscillating fuzz factory? I'm guessing there is no way of doing it, as I guess that the kaoss pad is only capable of manipulating sound that is actually going through it, but in this case, how does Matt do it live? Thanks very much! (Sorry to waffle!) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
scottST Posted April 17, 2007 Share Posted April 17, 2007 there are synth banks on the KP2. like 14 voices, controlled by the pad by touching it. X axis for one variable, Y axis for another. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

scottST Posted April 17, 2007 Share Posted April 17, 2007 i think so, but could be wrong. i'm looking into getting one of these for using on vocals. they look pretty nifty Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks very much! (Sorry to waffle!) when matt does it live in both of his kp guitars he has fernades sustainer curcuit on which picks up the slitest movment on the strings and amplifies the sound it would normally make so u can hear the effects it makes Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

donbenjy Posted April 18, 2007 Share Posted April 18, 2007 yeah, the KP3 has yummy synths in it, so i guess the mini one does too! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Musemaniac#2 Posted August 25, 2007 Share Posted August 25, 2007 ok i know i make alot of topics but dont flame me. So, i was thinking about getting a kaoss pad mini, would get a 3 but as i am only going to be using to fuck around with my guitar i didnt see the point of spending more. I was wondering, what do i need to set it up? Are there cables i need? Also i saw somewhere that you need a preamp? Will it not work if i put it into my setup with my other pedals and no preamp? Please explain. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tyechan Posted August 25, 2007 Share Posted August 25, 2007 ye u will need to get a preamp and i think the cable you need is a rca to um guitar 1/4 jack, not too sure though... uhh im pretty sure theres gonna be alot of flaming since you have made like 3 topics on the kaoss pad.. LET THE FLAMING BEGIN!!!!!!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lick My Face Posted August 25, 2007 Share Posted August 25, 2007 i see where would i get a cheap preamp? Try your own amp if you own one? Blimey, try out some common sense over asking whether you have hair every 5 seconds. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
