Right then guys, i just got my kp3 a few days ago and absolutely hammer this thing its f'n awesome. i have some big spending desicions to make and was wondering how the kp3 fits into your setup to give me some ideas.

I'm currently using the onboard drums to create loops and then i'm playing my synth into it and resampling the parts, creating improv songs on the fly. i have a mc303 which i'm planning to hook up to it, so my 2 inputs are full. i also want to implement my soundcard for my pc in this setup.

now what i really want is to intergrate some decks, i have a 3 channel mixer so was going to have one of the outputs on the dj mixer going into the kp3, and the output into the 3rd channel on the mixer, effectively making the 3rd channel a send....

now...this leaves me one input on the kp3 short. any suggestions. i would also like some headroom to expand my hardware, so am thinking an 8 channel studio mixer would be ideal, but where would i fit the kp3 in this setup? any ideas or suggestions are welcome and if you could share what your setup is that would be sweet

I run my SP303 through my KP2, so I can manipulate samples and I use a few of the synth patches, and on top of that I use a Micron, a Microkorg, and a X5D.

ive got a Rane TTM56 2 channel scratch mixer.
channel 1 consists of a MIDI keyboard controlling a Macbook/Reason4.
channel 2 consists of a TTX turntable.
ive got my KP3 in the FX loop on the Rane so i can effect Reason or the turntable with it.

then ive got the out from the Rane going into an Electro Harmonix 2880 multi channel looper.

the out from the 2880 going into a Mackie 1202-VLZ3 mixer.

ive also then got a miniKP in the FX loop of the Mackie.

my idea is to be able to effect both the turntable and Reason with the KP3, and then loop that with the 2880. then if i feel any more sound twisting is in order i can effect the final loop with the miniKP.
