Mute function

Holding down the MUTE button will mo-

mentarily cut the input signal, but the ef-

fected signal will continue to play.

Transformer effect

By rapidly tapping the MUTE button, you

can create rhythmic effects from a continu-

ous audio input, as in the “transformer”

technique used by DJs.

FX RELEASE

What is FX RELEASE?

Making the transition from a very hard-

edge effect back to the original unaffected

signal can often times be very abrupt or

sudden. With FX RELEASE, the moment

you take your hand off the touch pad (i.e.,

the moment you turn off the effect), a de-

lay effect synchronized to the current BPM

will be applied, and will then gradually di-

minish. This lets you smoothly and musi-

cally transition from a aggressive effect

such as Distortion or Decimator back to

the “thru” state.

Saving the FX RELEASE setting

You can save a different FX RELEASE set-

ting for each program.

1. To adjust the depth of the FX RELEASE

effect for the currently selected program,

hold down the SHIFT button and use the

FX RELEASE slider.

2. Press the WRITE button.

The WRITE button and PROGRAM

MEMORY button will blink. The SHIFT

button will be lit, and will operate as an

EXIT button.

3. Press the WRITE button once again.

The program will be written, and the KP3

will return to normal operation.

NOTE If you’ve selected an effect program that al-

ready uses delay, the FX Release function will not be

used, but the delay sound within that effect program

will remain the moment you take your finger off the

touch pad, producing a similar effect.

Pad Motion

Pad Motion allows you to record and play-

back the motion of your finger on the

touch pad. This allows you to accurately

reproduce the same complicated move-

ments over and over again. In addition, the

pad LEDs will provide a visual indication

of the movement.

You can even save pad motion recording

as part of the Program Memory. (➝p.9)

Recording a pad motion

Hold down the PAD MOTION button. As

soon as your finger hits the touch pad, the

PAD MOTION button will begin blinking,

indicating that the pad motion is being re-

corded. To stop recording, release the PAD

MOTION button, and pad motion play-

back will begin. Pad motion is only re-

corded a few seconds, so if the Pad Motion

button stops blinking and is lit red, pad

motion recording has stopped, and pad

motion playback will begin immediately.

To stop the pad motion playback, touch

the PAD MOTION button once again. the

button will go dark (unlit).

NOTE When you begin recording, the previously-

recorded motion will be overwritten.

Playing back a pad motion

Press the PAD MOTION button; the button

will light, and the pad motion will begin

playing as a loop.

The pad LEDs will show the recorded

movement. When you press the PAD MO-

TION button once again, the button will go

dark and playback will stop.

Reverse playback

If you hold down the SHIFT button and

press the PAD MOTION (REVERSE) but-

ton, the pad motion will play back in re-

verse. You can repeat this operation to al-

ternate between “reverse playback” ➝

“forward playback” ➝ “reverse playback.”
