TheProgram/BPM display will light.To turn off the power, press the Powerswitch once again to turn it off.

2. Inputting audio(1) Use the Input Select switch to select theinput jacks of the connected device to whichyou want to apply an effect.

MIC: The effect will be applied to the micinput.PHONO: The effect will be applied to thephono inputs.LINE: The effect will be applied to the lineinputs.

3. Adjusting the volume(1) Adjust the input level.While outputting audio from the connecteddevice, use the Input Volume knob to adjustthe input level so that the peak indicatordoes not light red.If you are using the mic jack, adjust theMIC Trim knob as appropriate for the sensi-tivity of the mic, so that the sound is not dis-torted.(2) If you are using headphones, use thePhones Volume knob to adjust the level.

4. Selecting a program(1) The Program/BPM display will indicatethe number of the currently selected pro-gram.Use the Program/BPM knob to select a pro-gram (00–99).(2) Use the FX/Depth knob to adjust thedepth of the effect.No effect will be applied if the knob is

turned to the far left, and the maximum ef-fect will be applied if the knob is turned tothe far right.

About the Program/BPM displayThis display shows the number of the cur-rently selected program, the specified BPM,and the point (position) at which you aretouching the touch pad.While you are operating the touch pad:The display will indicate the position atwhich you are touching the pad (1.1–9.9; 5.5is the center).

Horizontal position (1–9)Vertical position (1–9)

When selecting programs: The display willshow the program number (00–99).When setting the BPM: When you arepressing the Tap/BPM key to set the BPM,the display will indicate the BPM value. InAuto BPM mode, three dots will light.MIDI Edit mode: The display will show theMIDI channel or control number, etc.

5. Operating the touch pad(1) Control the sound by rubbing your fin-ger across the touch pad or tapping it.

Use the included protective sheet.(2) If you turn on the Hold key while oper-ating the touch pad, the KP2 will hold theeffect sound as it was the moment beforeyou took your finger away from the pad.

6. The Mute functionIf you move the Pad Motion/Mute lever toMUTE (toward yourself), the input signal,sample sound, or synth/drum sound willbe silenced. When using delay or reverb,this lets you output only the effect sound(i.e., the delayed sound or reverberation).

transformerBy using the Pad Motion/Mute lever to rapidlyswitch MUTE on/off, you can create rhythmsusing a sustained input sound. This is a DJ tech-nique known as “transformer.”

5

7. Pad motionThe KP2 lets you record your touch pad op-erations, and move the the Pad Motion/Mute lever to the PAD MOTION position toplay back these operations.

RecordingRecording will begin when you hold the thePad Motion/Mute lever in the PAD MO-TION position and touch the touch pad.Even when you take your finger away fromthe touch pad, this state will continue to berecorded as part of your operation. Thismeans that you can also record operationsthat include tapping on the touch pad. Re-cording will end when you move thethePad Motion/Mute lever back to its originalposition. Recording will also end when youreach the maximum recording time (ap-proximately 3.2 seconds).

PlaybackIf you have recorded a pad motion, movethe the Pad Motion/Mute lever to the PADMOTION position, and the recorded mo-tion will play back. As long as you leave thethe Pad Motion/Mute lever in the PADMOTION position, the same motion will beplayed back repeatedly as long as you donot touch the touch pad.

If you touch the touch pad during playback,recording will begin. Recording will be reset ifyou change programs.

The Hold key on/off state is not recorded aspart of the pad motion. Also, if you turn on theHold key and play back a pad motion, the motionwill be held at the point where you stopped play-back.

8. Specifying the BPMIf you specify the BPM, you will be able toapply effects in synchronization to the BPMwhen an effect program from the “BPM FX/PTN” group is selected. For details on theeffect parameter to which this effect will beapplied, refer to the effect program list(☞ separate sheet).

What is BPM?BPM (Beats Per Minute) is the tempo of thesong expressed as the number of beats (quarternotes) that occur in one minute. A higher BPMvalue means a faster tempo.

To set the BPMIf you know the BPM, press the Tap/BPMkey and use the Program/BPM knob to setthe value. The normal display will reappearif ten seconds pass without any operationbeing performed.

Tap Tempo functionIf you do not know the BPM, press the Tap/BPM key twice or more in rhythm with thebeat of the song. The beat will be detected,and the BPM will appear in the Program/BPM display.

Auto BPM functionIf you press and hold down the Tap/BPMkey for an extended time, three dots will ap-pear in the Program/BPM display, and thebeat of the audio input will be detected au-tomatically. (Auto BPM mode)While the Program/BPM display is blink-ing, the BPM is being detected.Press the Tap/BPM key once again to endautomatic detection.

You can set the BPM in a range of 80–160.

MIDI Sync functionThe BPM of the KP2 can be specified byMIDI Timing Clock messages from an exter-nal MIDI device. Connect the [MIDI IN]connector of the KP2 to the [MIDI OUT]connector of the external MIDI device (suchas a sequencer) that is transmitting the tim-ing clock messages.

This function does not synchronize se-quence data with the KP2's rhythm pattern pro-grams. If you want to synchronize to sequencedata, you will either have to insert a Touch PadOn message into the beginning of each measureof your sequence data, or touch the touch pad atthe beginning of each KP2 phrase to start thepattern.

If you want the KP2 to receive TimingClock and Touch Pad On messages, go to MIDI

6

Edit mode (☞ p.8), and make “MIDI messagetransmission/reception settings” (☞ p.8) so thatthese messages will be received.

You can not use the Tap Tempo or AutoBPM functions while the KP2 is receiving Tim-ing Clock from an external MIDI device

9. Storing settings in the ProgramMemory keyThe current state of the KAOSS PAD can bestored in one of the Program Memory 1–8keys, so that it can be instantly recalledwhenever you want.

Stored contents— Effect program— On/off state of the Hold key and the heldposition (coordinates)— FX/Depth knob setting— For the “BPM FX/PTN” group, the speci-fied BPM value— For the “SAMPLE/PLAY” group, theSample 1, 2 key used

Effect programs 60 and 90–99 do not storethe state of the Hold key.

To store settings(1) Press the Program Memory 1–8 key thatyou want to assign.(2) Use the Program/BPM knob to selectthe effect program that you want to assign.

If you want to store the setting of the Holdkey, select the program and then turn on theHold key and touch the touch pad to specify theposition. If you want to store other settings,make them at this time.(3) Press and hold down the ProgramMemory 1–8 key you selected in step (1) forapproximately two seconds, and the set-tings will be stored.When the settings have been stored, theProgram/BPM display will stop blinking.

To recall settings(1) Press a Program Memory 1–8 key, andthe settings stored in that key will be re-called.

10. Sampling and playing backa phraseA phrase from the audio input can be re-corded into one of the Sample 1, 2 keys.Then when you have selected a programfrom the “SAMPLE/PLAY” group (pro-grams 90–99), you can play back the samplewhile using the touch pad to control theplayback speed or reverse-playback. If youhave selected a program from other than the“SAMPLE/PLAY” group, pressing theSample 1, 2 keys will play back the phrasethat was recorded in that key.You can record for approximately six sec-onds in each of the two keys.

The recorded phrases will be lost when thepower is turned off. It is not possible to save therecorded phrases.

Recording(1) Press the Rec/Stop key, and the Rec/Stop key LED will blink to indicate that youare in record-ready mode.(2) Press the Sample 1, 2 key into which youwant to record. At this time, you will nothear the playback sound.(3) When you press the Rec/Stop key, theRec/Stop key LED will light, and recordingwill begin. Recording will stop when youpress the Rec/Stop key once again.

Recording will stop automatically whenyou reach the maximum recording time.

For programs of other than the “SAMPLE/PLAY” group, you can operate the touch padwhile you record, and the sound processed by theeffect will be recorded.

Auto recording (AUTO REC)You can cause recording to begin automati-cally when audio is input. This is conve-nient when recording voice from a mic.(1) In step (2) of the Recording procedure,hold down the Sample 1, 2 key to which youwant to record, and press the Rec/Stop key.The Rec/Stop key and Sample 1, 2 keyLEDs will blink simultaneously, indicatingthat you are in record-ready mode.(2) Recording will begin automatically

when audio is input. Recording will stopwhen you press the Rec/Stop key onceagain.

PlaybackThe playback method will differ dependingon the effect program that you have se-lected.

For a program from the “SAMPLE/PLAY” group(1) Select a program from the “SAMPLE/PLAY” group (90–99).(2) Press the Sample 1, 2 key that you wantto play. The playback will not yet be outputat this time.(3) When you touch the touch pad, thesound will play back according to the posi-tion that you touch.The way in which the phrase plays will de-pend on the program. (☞ separate sheet: Ef-fect program list)(4) Use the FX Depth knob to adjust theplayback volume.When the FX Depth knob is positioned inthe center, the playback sound and the in-put sound will be output in a 1:1 propor-tion. When the knob is at the maximum po-sition, only the sample sound will be outputduring playback, and you will not hear theinput sound.

For a program from other than the“SAMPLE/PLAY” group(1) Select a program from other than the“SAMPLE/PLAY” group.(2) Press a Sample 1, 2 key, and the recordedphrase will play at normal speed. If youcontinue pressing the key, the phrase willplay back as a loop.To adjust the volume, continue pressing theSample 1, 2 key and use the FX Depth knobto make adjustments.

You can apply effects to the playback by op-erating the touch pad while the sound playsback.

If you press the Hold key while pressing theSample 1, 2 key, the playback will be held. Holdwill be cancelled when you press the Sample 1, 2key once again.

MIDI functionsWhat is MIDI?MIDI stands for Musical Instrument DigitalInterface, and is a world-wide standard for ex-changing a variety of performance-related infor-mation between electronic musical instrumentsand computers.

MIDI connectionsCommercially available MIDI cables are usedto transmit and receive MIDI messages. Con-nect these cables between the MIDI connec-tors of the KP2 and the MIDI connectors ofthe external MIDI device with which youwant to transfer data.MIDI IN connector: This connector re-ceives MIDI messages from another MIDIdevice. Connect it to the MIDI OUT connec-tor of the external device.MIDI OUT connector: This connectortransmits messages from the KP2. Connectit to the MIDI IN connector of the externaldevice.

Using MIDIIn addition to using the KP2 as an effect pro-cessor, you can transmit MIDI messagesfrom the KP2 to use it as a realtime control-ler for a synthesizer or other external MIDIdevice.You can also connect the KP2 to a MIDI se-quencer, and record the MIDI messages thatare transmitted when you operate the touchpad. By playing back the recorded MIDImessages you can reproduce your touchpad operations.

About MIDI channelsIn order to independently transmit informa-tion to multiple MIDI devices over a singleMIDI cable, MIDI uses sixteen channels (1–16). If the transmitting device is set to MIDIchannel “1,” the MIDI messages will not bereceived unless the receiving device is alsoset to MIDI channel “1.”

About the MIDI implementation chartThe owner’s manual of each MIDI device in-cludes a “MIDI implementation chart.” Thischart lets you check the types of MIDI mes-sage that can be transmitted or received.When you use two (or more) MIDI devices to-gether, compare their MIDI implementationcharts to see which types of MIDI messagethey are able to transmit and receive betweenthemselves.* Details on the MIDI functionality are providedin the separate MIDI implementation. To obtainthe MIDI implementation, please contact Korgdistributor.

MIDI Edit modeHold down the Tap/BPM key and press theRec/Stop key. After approximately one sec-ond, you will enter MIDI Edit mode, andthe MIDI channel will be displayed blinkingin the Program/BPM display.

Setting the MIDI channelIn MIDI Edit mode, the Program/BPM dis-play will show the MIDI channel. At thistime you can use the Program/BPM knob tochange the MIDI channel.

MIDI message transmission/reception settingsTransmission and reception of each type ofMIDI message can be turned on/off bypressing one of the keys listed below. Trans-mission and reception are enabled when thecorresponding LED is lit. Transmission andreception are disabled when the LED isdark.(☞ p.9: Messages that can be transmittedand received)

Some parameters can only be transmitted,and others can only be received.

Changing the control numberBy holding down one of the ProgramMemory 3–8 keys and turning the Pro-gram/BPM knob, you can change the con-trol number setting. Although it is possibleto select a control number that is already inuse, it is not possible to simultaneously turnon transmission and reception for MIDI

messages of the same control number.The MIDI messages transmitted and received

by the KP2 can be changed in the range of CC#1–CC#31 and CC#64–CC#95.

To store the settings you modifiedIn MIDI Edit mode, press and hold the Rec/Stop key for one second or longer, and theMIDI settings you modified will be stored.If you turn off the power without storingthe modified settings, they will revert totheir previous state.

To exit MIDI Edit modeYou will return to the normal state if youtouch the touch pad or leave the KP2 for tenseconds without performing any operation.

Saving your settingsYou can save the contents of programmemory and the control number settings ofMIDI edit mode by transmitting them as ex-clusive messages, and saving them on anexternal MIDI device.For details on the exclusive messages thatthe KP2 can transmit and receive, refer tothe separate MIDI implementation.

*1: The MIDI messages transmitted and received can be changed in a range of CC#1–CC#31,CC#64–CC#95, and PITCH BEND. ( ) is the factory setting.*2: Ena/Dis and CC# settings are the same for both transmission and reception.

The control changes for touch pad Y-axis Y-5–9 and Y-5–1, and for touch pad X+Y axis can be trans-mitted but not received. For this reason when you record control changes into a sequencer, use MIDI Editmode to turn PROGRAM MEMORY 1–3 off, so that unnecessary MIDI messages are not transmitted.

Previously-specified control numbers cannot be specified again elsewhere.
