MIDI Sync function

The BPM of the KP3 can be set to follow

MIDI Time Clock messages from an exter-

nal MIDI device. Connect the MIDI OUT

connector of an external MIDI device (such

as a sequencer set to transmit MIDI time

clock messages) to the MIDI IN connector

of the KP3.

NOTE This function will not synchronize se-

quence data with the KP3’s rhythm pattern pro-

grams. If you want to synchronize sequenced data

and the KP3's internal rhythm patterns, you will

either have to insert a Touch Pad On message into

the beginning of each measure of your sequence

data, or touch the touch pad at the beginning of each

KP3 phrase to start the pattern.

NOTE If you want the KP3 to receive Timing

Clock and Touch Pad On messages, go to MIDI Set-

ting (➝ p.20), and make “Changing the MIDI mes-

sage filter settings” (➝ p.21) so that these messages

will be received.

NOTE You can not use the Tap Tempo or Auto

BPM functions while the KP3 is receiving Timing

Clock from an external MIDI device

Storing settings to a

PROGRAM MEMORY

The PROGRAM MEMORY buttons allow

you to save and instantly recall your eight

favorite KP3 programs and settings.

The following data will be stored:

•Effect program

• FX/DEPTH knob setting

• Pad motion

• The on/off status of the HOLD button

and its position (coordinates)

Saving

1. Press the WRITE button.

The PROGRAM MEMORY buttons and

the WRITE button will blink.

2. Press the PROGRAM MEMORY button

where you want the settings to be stored.

The button you pressed will blink, the dis-

play will indicate “WRT,” and the settings

will be written. When writing is complete,

the KP3 will return to its normal state.

Recalling

1. Press one of the PROGRAM MEMORY

buttons (1–8); the settings stored in that

memory location will be recalled.

Sampling

The KP3 can record both looped phrases

and one shot samples from an external

source. The KP3 can also resample; allow-

ing you to sample external audio sources

through the internal effects, or capture the

entire output of the KP3 as a new sample.

Loop samples can be up to four measures

(16 beats) long, at the current BPM when

you begin recording. (for example, at a

tempo of 140, 16 beats would be approxi-

mately 7 seconds).

If the tempo value is 73 or lower, the maxi-

mum of beats that can be sampled is 8. If

the tempo value is 39 or lower, the maxi-

mum of beats that can be sampled is 4.

For a loop sample you can specify a beat

length of 16, 8, 4, 2, or 1.

When a loop sample is created, it will be-

gin playing as soon as it is done being re-

corded (the corresponding SAMPLE

BANK button will be lit orange.)

Sampling

1. Press the SAMPLING button.

In this sample-ready mode, the SAMPLE

BANK buttons will blink red, and the dis-

play will indicate “[16]” (the default value

is 16 beats). To exit without sampling,

press the SHIFT button.

NOTE The Auto BPM is automatically turned off.

2. Use the PROGRAM/BPM knob to

specify the length of sampling (in beats).

The display will switch between [16], [8],

[4], [2], or [1] accordingly.

3. When you are ready to record, press one

of the blinking SAMPLE BANK buttons -

A, B, C, or D. The selected SAMPLE BANK

button will blink green, the display will in-

dicate “REC,” and sampling will begin.

The PROGRAM MEMORY buttons will

consecutively blink to indicate the beat

you’re recording.
