Korg Mini KP (Volume Drop) vs Full Versions

Hello.

Do the "Full" versions of the Kaossilators also exhibit the dreaded -7db volume drop that the mini KP's do?

I have enjoyed the simplicity of my Mini KP for about a year, but the volume issue has finally gotten to me.

I was thinking of getting a KP2 if it meets the following criteria:

1-No perceivable volume drop when plugged in between my BX16 line mixer and powered monitor speakers.

2-Somewhat comparable effects to the Mini KP. I don't need any drums or sampling etc. I am really only interested in the effects. Panning...flange...delay...bitcrusher...etc

Can anybody confirm?

Thank you very much,
Steve

The volume is down to battery power.If it uses batteries for mobile use then there is a volume drop for that model.
You mix up terms for kaoscillator and kaoss pad.I assume you are after a KP2 .I don't think it uses batteries.
Btw effects change every time.I really love the effect on kpmini 2 ,but the kp3 is an excellent all rounder effect box.(my favorite).

Thank you for the reply. You are correct, I should have stated "Kaoss Pad" and not mixed verbage.

Looks like I made the right choice. The KP2 should fit the bill. I really liked the Mini KP, but that volume loss was a real bummer, even with a power adapter.

Best of luck to you and thanks again,
Steve
