I haven't owned a EMX or ESX but I would probably plug audio from EMX into ESX ,then out ESX into KP,then out that into Komplete.Then midi maybe EMX into ESX with a thru into Komplete.It depends which machine you like to press play with (to trigger the others).
This is just one way ,maybe some others here can give further suggestions. |

I wouldn't bother with midi for the KP as it doesn't sync sample loops in time with midi clock,just turn on and off samples by hand.Later if you felt the need you could route a Tribe into it to trigger one shots/loops but its very much a live play instrument.
You could actually try the audio of KP after EMX but before ESX. This way you can capture live Kaoss by quickly sampling vibres into ESX to control easier in a finished track. KP3 is something that is good to record quick because jams often only sound that way once and are hard to repeat exact.It does have quick resampling itself ,but this would give you more options..The ESX would miss out on effects,only EMX would be able to be looped in KP samples and FX.
Or if KP was after the two Tribes you could record quickly with PC DAW/Audacity. |

I would use the EMX as master put a cable from the OUT via a midi cable into the ESX IN then a cableout from the THRU to the KP3 IN.
I would have to disagree with what has been written above, I have a lot of success with MIDI sync'd KP3 effects particularly the LOOP/Slicer features...the samples DO drift over time but are fine for recording transitions. |

Yes midi like that.
For audio just daisy chain up with EMX first.
Experiment with ESX or KP last.
I haven't used ESX ...Maybe it's more simple to have audio EMX >ESX > KP >interface. |

That setup works great, make sure you MIDI EMX into the ESX, then ESX out to KP3. You can set the Electibes' MIDI filters to allow pattern changes, stop/start/pause together, or even affecting the others' controls. Setting EMX/KP3 to clock from external with the ESX as the master will make the 2 'tribes sync in lockstep, with tempo lock on all BPM-based FX of the kaoss pad. |

Midi out from ESX into Midi in on EMX and midi thru from EMX into KP.
(Internal on ESX ,external on EMX /KP).
Audio out from EMX into In on ESX then out ESX into KP In.
Then out KP into interface. |
