Kaoss Pad syncing questions.
#992643 - 13/06/12 01:15 PM

Hi guys,

Borrowed a KP3 of my mate. It seems quite cool but for the life of the I cant work out how to do this or if its even possible.

I sample a 4 bar loop. Great.
Now I sample another 3 and place them all on pads 1 - 3. Again great.

But trying to play them back in sync is impossible. No matter how good at timing you are human error means at least one loop is always going to be out.

Now, on Ableton Live you can press when you like and it quantises so the loops starts next time around so you cant F it up even if you try.

How do I implement such a thing on the KP3? It MUST have this feature surely?]

Any advice appreciated.

Page 20 shows that samples can be triggered by MIDI. Otherwise I've no idea about any other sync options.

Hi Richie.

hmmm, its a start I suppose. Was hoping this could be done live though. IE you hit the pad on beat 3 of a 4 beat bar and the sample doesn't start playing until 1 of the next bar.

This and the fact it doesn't have 4 outputs seem glaring omissions to me.

You could try triggering it through Ableton Live:

Put the appropriate MIDI note on the first beat of a Clip, and trigger the clip with whatever quantise you want to set in Ableton. So you push the button on your Ableton control surface, or mouse, or whatever, and the clip will launch at the next quantised interval, triggering the Kaoss Pad at the same time.

Thanks. I do weddings and bar mizvahs as well.

Instant gratification is actually pretty good. It's fast as well.
