So you have three Volcas?
You have a bit more stuff than I thought (-a nice set up I may add) and will have some giggling about go do.
Don't worry about missing the effects off that desk,as long as everything else is the same.

Minijacks >stereo Phonos are common and can be cheap .For the Volcas just get a cheap phono>jack converter (one each) then stick that on top of one channel (L or R) like a cap ,then insert each one into a mono channel. Either that or minijacks (stereo) >two 1/4 inch mono ,then use just one of those jacks into a mono channel(first 4 channels) on desk.
So you are splitting a stereo mini into two mono,but only using one.

Or you could try stereo mini> 1/4 inch stereo headphone type sockets.- Jack them into a mono input channel and see if it works. A little warning though, this is unconventional and my Monotron manuals firmly advise against this,but strangely the Volcas don't warn about usin mono jacks in their output,so maybe their circuit is safer...?

Yes, i have the Volca trinity san sampler. By Volca combo I was referring to the trio (Beat the loudest. I live near a university area and students sell them pretty cheap when their term ends. The KP3 I bought online.

The KP# effects can be used and accessed from each channel? or is it only local to a designated channel?

Why use only one socket if the Volcas are sending stereo?

maybe you meant "gigging"... indeed why not:)

Actually I'm having trouble spelling,I meant jiggling like how a bunch of key jingle,sort of,I think it may be a local English word.(are you U.S.?)
With the monos for Volca's you may be short on channels and they are good candidates to drop a channel-they are mono signals ,just splitt over two channels.Its the same signal both sides.-I think anyway.

With the KP set to recieve effects sends through Monitor Out,you basicly have total control over any choice of instrument at any time to be effected.All,some or one.It looks like there is another output for the iPad aswell.

I'm in US but I'm familiar with some of your vernaculars:)

Good to know about the KP. makes sense to stick with the Zed !0. KP3 got to earn it after paying full price. Also useful for my own experience.

thanks, very helpful.

"It looks like there is another output for the iPad swell." in the stereo channels?

Output,like effects send.Aux send..possibly,but not sure exact how that mixer works.It may be a mono out jack which could be input into your iPad.Incase you wanted to send sounds to that aswell (or the MicroKorg vocoder)for effecting.
