I've just bought a Kaoss pad 3 and after working out how to sample, I've just realised that this is gonna be a bit of a problem for me as when the sample bank buttons are playing or stopped, the colours look identical to me. I've always found it difficuilt with browns, greens, orange, reds and get them mixed up a lot because they look pretty much the same.

Does anyone know of a way I can solve this or am I just gonna have to remember what I've recorded to each bank??

if you're truly industrious you could try replacing the three colored LEDs underneath the sampling pads but i really wouldn't suggest it. that would look dope though. you're probably stuck unfortunately.

I've delt with this issue all my life, and use labels whenever possible.
Good luck.

That has to be real interesting with traffic lights...

with traffic lights, at least the top one means stop and the bottom one means go (in the US at least). with the kp3 the lights are in the same spot. must be a real pain in the ass, i have a hard enough time remembering what sample is what on the kp3 and i can tell the difference between red and green.
