Im getting a KOPRO tomorrow and I would like to know how to connect this three beauties together, and how to sync them.
I read that the KOPRO+ and the KP3+ work together marvelous, but... is it possible to add the emx1 to this mix?
Thanks for ur time!
How can I connect and emx-1 + KOPRO+ + KP3+?

MIDI is your friend: it will keep the tempos locked so that modulated FX, loopers and (to a lesser extent, unfortunately) samples on the KP3 will be perfectly synced. You'll have to play around with the MIDI filters on each device to get them doing what you want, but otherwise its just a matter of connecting MIDI OUT to MIDI IN. You can find these cables at your local big music store, make sure you choose them in lengths that work for your layout.
The audio signal is the other thing you'll have to think about. The big question here is: mixer or no mixer? A mixer can give you more flexibility and help get the best sound quality possible. On the other hand, you could just run each of these devices into one another for a simpler but more rigid setup. If you're gonna do this, my recommendation would be EMX to KPpro to KP3: that way you get the full stereo output of the EMX into the KP-synth, then you can sample and FX the output using the KP3 at the end. EMX's audio-in is mono and it also has the weakest audio quality at 44.1kHz, so you probably don't want anything running into it. I'd recommend the same with MIDI as well, making the EMX your master clock and drum machine, then running this through the Kaoss Pads. Make sure you have the right cables too: you'll need one that converts two 1/4" TS channels to RCA.
This is a lot of info to sift through, so PM me or leave any responses if you have any more questions about getting this set up.
