Mute function
Holding down the MUTE button will mo-
mentarily cut the input signal, but the ef-
fected signal will continue to play.
Transformer effect
By rapidly tapping the MUTE button, you
can create rhythmic effects from a continu-
ous audio input, as in the “transformer”
technique used by DJs.
FX RELEASE
What is FX RELEASE?
Making the transition from a very hard-
edge effect back to the original unaffected
signal can often times be very abrupt or
sudden. With FX RELEASE, the moment
you take your hand off the touch pad (i.e.,
the moment you turn off the effect), a de-
lay effect synchronized to the current BPM
will be applied, and will then gradually di-
minish. This lets you smoothly and musi-
cally transition from a aggressive effect
such as Distortion or Decimator back to
the “thru” state.
Saving the FX RELEASE setting
You can save a different FX RELEASE set-
ting for each program.
1. To adjust the depth of the FX RELEASE
effect for the currently selected program,
hold down the SHIFT button and use the
FX RELEASE slider.
2. Press the WRITE button.
The WRITE button and PROGRAM
MEMORY button will blink. The SHIFT
button will be lit, and will operate as an
EXIT button.
3. Press the WRITE button once again.
The program will be written, and the KP3
will return to normal operation.
NOTE If you’ve selected an effect program that al-
ready uses delay, the FX Release function will not be
used, but the delay sound within that effect program
will remain the moment you take your finger off the
touch pad, producing a similar effect.
Pad Motion
Pad Motion allows you to record and play-
back the motion of your finger on the
touch pad. This allows you to accurately
reproduce the same complicated move-
ments over and over again. In addition, the
pad LEDs will provide a visual indication
of the movement.
You can even save pad motion recording
as part of the Program Memory. (➝p.9)
Recording a pad motion
Hold down the PAD MOTION button. As
soon as your finger hits the touch pad, the
PAD MOTION button will begin blinking,
indicating that the pad motion is being re-
corded. To stop recording, release the PAD
MOTION button, and pad motion play-
back will begin. Pad motion is only re-
corded a few seconds, so if the Pad Motion
button stops blinking and is lit red, pad
motion recording has stopped, and pad
motion playback will begin immediately.
To stop the pad motion playback, touch
the PAD MOTION button once again. the
button will go dark (unlit).
NOTE When you begin recording, the previously-
recorded motion will be overwritten.
Playing back a pad motion
Press the PAD MOTION button; the button
will light, and the pad motion will begin
playing as a loop.
The pad LEDs will show the recorded
movement. When you press the PAD MO-
TION button once again, the button will go
dark and playback will stop.
Reverse playback
If you hold down the SHIFT button and
press the PAD MOTION (REVERSE) but-
ton, the pad motion will play back in re-
verse. You can repeat this operation to al-
ternate between “reverse playback” ➝
“forward playback” ➝ “reverse playback.”
