Using a midi foot controller with KAOSS Pad 3

Post by tkpmusic »

Hello,
Has anyone been able to hook up a midi-foot controller to trigger the Kaoss Pad 3 loops?
I use mine in a live setting for my Radiohead tribute band -

Thanks for your help!

Nice.. i use my Behringer FCB1010 into Ableton.. and then i have played with sending midi messages to play samples from the Kaoss Pad and it worked!! the only thing weird, is in the manual it says something like the pads will receive midi notes Like C2 D2 E2..etc, but in actual fact mine only responded to C1 D2.. etc (it was basically one down from what it says in the manual...)

So you will have to program your foot controller to send out those Midi notes or CC's i can't remember exactly.

I need to get my Kaoss pad permanently into my rig!

Might want to use the KP3 edit Software to change the midi notes. It works for me.
