Wondering, from those that have had actual experience, what your opinions are of the Korg kaoss kp2 effect/sampler unit.
Im looking into getting an effects/sampler unit for live mixing situations. This will be attached to a A&H xone:32.
- Is there a better standalone effects/sampler unit that the Korg KP2 within the 400$ price range?
- What is the wiring scheme to hook up the Korg KP2 to the A&H Xone:32? (do my TT's plug directly into the effect/sampler unit, then sampler unit get plugged into phone inputs on mixer, or is the unit plugged into the effects send output on the mixer then back in to channel 2 input on the mixer?)[im kinda lost as i havent examined the unit in person yet.]
- is this effect/sampler unit useful?
- how easy is the unit to use?(im a first timer with effects/samplers.)
I would actually really like to get opinions from *actual* owners or users of this unit vs. heresay information, but i guess any information would be helpful. |

Also... if anyone has used the pioneer efx 500, what did you think of it...
Im looking for comparison opinions between the Korg Kp2 and the pioneer efx 500. |

some good posts here: http://www.tranceaddict.com/forums/...ight=korg+kaoss
I plan on getting one Kaoss Pad 2 for x-mas too :) I think they're useful to spice things up, when you get the basics down.
now on to your questions:
- the only FX unit similar to Kaoss Pad that is "popular" that I know of is the Pioneer one (mentioned on that thread), but I dunno why prefer Korg's; you may prefer a standalone since you can therefore upgrade your mixer with no problems if you plan to etc;
- as for the wiring scheme I can't tell ya since I don't yet own one but Korg's official site has the manual on PDF format and you can connect to the send/return section of your mixer, or connect your TTs directly to it.. it's up to you, but without the 1st one I guess you can't connect the mixer :conf:
- if it is easy, well you turn the effect on, there are 99 effects, and then you move the finger through the X and Y axis and it produces different sounds.. you can record the motion, and it is sensible to intensity of touch..
Well there you go, I can't help more since I'll only get it in x-mas (hopefully! :))
Cheers! |
