Introduction<br />
Thank you for purchasing the <strong>Korg</strong> <strong>KP3+</strong> KA-<br />
OSS <strong>PAD</strong> dynamic effect/sampler. To enjoy<br />
YOUR <strong>KP3+</strong> to the fullest potential, please<br />
read this <strong>manual</strong> carefully and use the <strong>KP3+</strong><br />
only as directed.<br />
Main features<br />
150 built-in programs for DJ mixes and sound<br />
design<br />
In addition to the effect programs that were so<br />
popular on the KP3, such as a filter that's designed<br />
with an analog feel in mind, standard<br />
spatial-type effects such as a highly usable<br />
delay, a grain shifter that lets you freeze an instant<br />
of sound, and a decimator, we've added<br />
an enhanced looper as well as new effects.<br />
You can connect a mic to the mic input jack<br />
and generate full-fledged vocoder sounds in<br />
real time. An "FX RELEASE" feature has been<br />
provided which lets you control the reverberant<br />
tail of the effect to obtain a more natural decay,<br />
ensuring that these powerful effects will blend<br />
naturally into your song or performance.<br />
Use the touch pad to control effects in real<br />
time<br />
Since you can assign different types of effect<br />
parameters to the X-axis and Y-axis of the<br />
touch pad and control them simultaneously,<br />
you can easily and intuitively perform complex<br />
effect operations such as varying the delay<br />
time and feedback at the same time, or simultaneously<br />
the filter's cutoff and resonance. By<br />
rubbing, tapping, or stroking the pad with your<br />
fingertip, you can easily apply complex effects.<br />
Sampling capability with sophisticated functionality<br />
It's easy to capture either one-shot or loop<br />
samples into the four sample banks. For loop<br />
sampling, the BPM Detection function will detect<br />
the tempo down to the first decimal place,<br />
and capture up to four measures along with<br />
the BPM data. You can also adjust the start<br />
point, instantly create completely new phrases<br />
by using the new Slice function to edit the<br />
way that a loop sample is actually played, and<br />
take advantage of the Resampling function to<br />
recapture a sample as it's processed by an effect.<br />
Use the slider to adjust the volume of the sample<br />
data<br />
A volume slider that adjusts the volume of the<br />
sample data makes usage dramatically more<br />
efficient, and gives you even more expressive<br />
possibilities. The Pad Motion function lets you<br />
capture and play back the movements of your<br />
finger on the pad, and even allows reverse<br />
playback. There's a Hold function that locks<br />
the effect depth at the position of your finger<br />
on the touch pad, and a Mute function that lets<br />
you cut the audio input and leave just the effect<br />
sound of the reverb or delay. From simple<br />
effects to complex transformations that combine<br />
multiple effects simultaneously, it's easy<br />
to control the sound the way that you want for<br />
your DJ mixes or sound design work.<br />
SD card slot and USB connector<br />
The SD card slot lets you store sample data<br />
and user data such as the sample save-destination<br />
bank, one-shot/loop playback settings,<br />
and program memories. There's also a USB<br />
connector that lets you back up this data to<br />
your computer, allowing you to manage large<br />
amounts of sample data with ease.<br />
Dedicated software available for download<br />
We've provided dedicated <strong>KP3+</strong> Editor software<br />
that lets you use your computer to edit<br />
sample data, program memories, and other<br />
user settings. The software also includes a<br />
MIDI Assignment Editor function which lets<br />
you use the <strong>KP3+</strong> as a powerfully customizable<br />
MIDI controller. You can download this<br />
software free of charge from the <strong>Korg</strong> website<br />
(http://www.korg.com/).<br />
