I've got some questions for you:

-Why would you buy these 2 things without apparently having the slightest clue what they do?
-I'm guessing you're about...11? How'd you afford this gear?
-You don't appear to be 100% literate, but if you can read this, I'm wondering how you could ever make it through the owner's manual to actually figure out what you're doing. (okay, that one's more of an opinion)

Sorry to be a douchebag, but if you actually own both these units and can't even figure out where to plug the audio cable, well...I don't know what to say; you're screwed. Any help I provide would only be wasted because you're probably just gonna dick around with presets like a goof. I can't be a total asshole though...I got my EMX-SD super cheap from some dumb kid who couldn't make a single patch (but apparently couldn't stop hammering on Synth Part 1), so there's some silver lining here for someone. Either read the whole manual for each peice of gear you own, or sell it if you're too lazy/stupid to do so.

Read the manual cover to cover, then keep it beside you while you play around with the EMX for a couple days. If you've done this and you've still got questions then post them.

....

Okay, if you made it this far into my angry rant, I'll answer your question directly: the KP3 and EMX have different types of audio connections...KP3 takes RCA input (like a DVD player), while the EMX has quarter-inch mono outputs, like a guitar. You'll need to get a cable that has 2 quarter-inch mono ends and 2 RCA ends. All of these ends have to be 'Male' because they're shaped like a peepee. Once you've got the cables, run the Left + Right outputs from the EMX into the L + R inputs on the back of the KP3 and set the input switch on the KP3 to "Line". Make sure you've got wiring to go from the KP3's output to your speakers, too.

There are connection diagrams on pages 8 and 9 of the KP3 owner's manual:

All the answers to your questions are there.

Good luck.

PS. Good choice of hardware. My EMX is at the centre of my whole set-up. KP3 great fun.

Dear Mr. ass-bitch,

That's unfortunate to hear...for one because I only provided the info because I felt bad about verbally slamming a kid, and secondly because it means there's another sub-literate f*ck out there who's too damn dumb to read the manual or previous comments. Mommy and daddy's money won't buy you a clue, punk. Hope your inevitable failure comes sooner than later.

Hay ,

I just got a new microphone and I was wondering I know it can record my voice but how I could connect to record my dog barking? (I thought it could...)

By how to connect I really mean, which end do I hold it by and which end of my dog to i put it by or something else...

sorry i am more a guy who loves petting dogs than reading about them.

thanks for your help! ;)
