MIDI settings
In addition to using the KP3 as an effect
processor, you can transmit MIDI mes-
sages from the KP3 to use it as a realtime
controller for a synthesizer or other exter-
nal MIDI device.
You can also connect the KP3 to a MIDI se-
quencer, and record the MIDI messages
that are transmitted when you operate the
touch pad. By playing back the recorded
MIDI messages you can reproduce your
touch pad operations.

About MIDI channels
In order to independently transmit infor-
mation to multiple MIDI devices over a
single MIDI cable, MIDI uses sixteen chan-
nels (1–16). If the transmitting device is set
to MIDI channel “1,” the MIDI messages
will not be received unless the receiving
device is also set to MIDI channel “1.”
Changing the control change
numbers or note numbers
1. Hold down the SHIFT button and press
the PROGRAM MEMORY 5 (MESSAGE)
button.
2. Use the PROGRAM/BPM knob to select
the controller whose setting you want to
change.
Pad X, Pad Y, PAD touch, Fx Depth, slider,
HOLD, and MUTE transmit/receive con-
trol change messages. The Sample A–D
pads transmit/receive note messages.
3. Use the PROGRAM/BPM knob to select
a control change number or note number
in a range of 0–127.
If you select a control number that has al-
ready been assigned to another controller,
the decimal point will light. If you assign
this value, the corresponding controller
will transmit and receive the same control
change messages as the other controller.
