Hello everyone,

while I find the touch pad control of the Korg Kaoss Series to be great for live performances. Sometimes I would like to control them via standard MIDI keyboards/seuquencers/DAWs. Unfortunately, Korg's MIDI implementation is tailored around the touch pad and expects ControlChange Message indicating X/Y coordinates instead of Note On/Off messages.

As a solution, I made an absolutely beginner friendly, solder-free free hack, that uses a 12,- Teensy development board to translate all corresponding MIDI commands:

Pretty cool! The lack of note data handling always made the KPpro seem like an ill-conceived product to me, so great job setting this up and providing all the instructions!

Yeah, pretty cool. My K-Pro is pretty much collecting dust for lack of integration.

Would be nice if there was DIN connection on board though.

Thanks

DIN connection is very easy to integrate, and the thing will then also work without the necessity of a computer as a man in the middle.
However, one needs to solder some parts...

I will post instructions in a couple of days...

A couple of days became a couple of weeks. However, here is the update for MIDI DIN in/outs:

Play the Korg Kasossialtor and Kaoss Pad with any MIDI equipment
