Korg KAOSS PAD KP3 Manuel D'utilisation page 9

Operation
Using the power switch
1. Connect the KP3 to your other equip-
ment as shown in the diagrams on the pre-
ceding pages, and connect the AC adapter
to an electrical outlet.
NOTE Never use any AC adapter other than the
included one.
2. Press the Power switch to turn the KP3
on. The display will light.
To turn the KP3 off, press the Power switch
once again to return it to the standby posi-
tion.
Selecting the audio input
1. Use the Input Select switch to choose
which of the KP3's input jacks will be used.
MIC: The effect will be applied to the mic
input.
LINE: The effect will be applied to the line
inputs.
Adjusting the volume
1. Use the Input Volume knob to adjust the
input level. The Peak indicator will light in
either green, orange, or red to indicate the
level of the incoming signal. Adjust the In-
put Volume so that the peak indicator does
not light red.
2. If you are using the mic jack, adjust the
MIC Trim knob as appropriate for the sen-
sitivity of the mic, so that the sound is not
distorted.
3. If you are listening through head-
phones, use the Phones Volume knob to
adjust the headphone level.
Selecting a program
Programs can be selected three ways.
1. If the display is currently showing a
program number, you can select a program
by turning the Program Knob. If the dis-
play is showing the current BPM, press the
PROGRAM/BPM knob to switch to the
program display.
10
The BPM indicator will blink if you select a
program that synchronizes to the BPM.
2. If you hold down the SHIFT button as
you rotate the PROGRAM/BPM knob,
you will advance to the first program in
each category, rather than having to scroll
through all 128 programs. Once you have
selected the correct category, release the
SHIFT button and use the PROGRAM/
BPM button to select the program from
within that category.
3. Finally, your eight favorite programs
can be selected by simply pressing one of
the PROGRAM MEMORY buttons. (Refer
to page 9).
The PROGRAM/BPM knob is a continu-
ous knob. When you've reached the last
program number, you'll wrap around to
the beginning of the list.
Controlling the effect depth
1. If the CONNECTION switch on the rear
panel is set to DIRECT, use the FX/DEPTH
knob to adjust the depth of the effect. Turn-
ing the knob to the right will increase the
effect depth.
2. If the CONNECTION switch on the rear
panel is set to SEND, you will need to use
the effect send and return levels on your
mixer to control the effect depth.
Hold
If you press the HOLD button as your fin-
ger is on the touch pad, you can take your
finger away and the effect will continue as
if your finger was still on the touch pad
and at the same location as when you
pressed the HOLD button. The pad LEDs
will remain lit at that position.
