Kp3. No clean signal comming threw.

Post by Manifesto »

I'm worried that my Kp3 might have broken. It was working allright then the Clean signal stopped working.
If I put a signal threw the KP3 nothing happens. When I put on an FX, like Fuzz for example, the distorted signal will be heard (through both Headphone and Output)
When I put the FX nob to 0. No sound will come out.

I updated the KP3 to 2.0 but it did not help.

Have any of you guys heard of this issue, and if so are there any solutions?

ok, checklist: (I'm sure you already did this but it's better to be safe)

1. did you check if the cavle may be dead? try changing cables
2. did you hit the Mic/Line switch by accident? I did that when I just got my KP3 and it took me a little while to understand what was wrong..

I don't know about the KP3 but for example my MiniKP here can be operated in Insert mode or in Send mode.

In send mode it is intended to be on a mixer's Send bus and thus mixed back in with the original signal at the mixer end, so it only outputs the wet signal.

In insert mode, it outputs a mix of the wet and dry signal, as it is intended to be placed directly after a keyboard or turntable - Inserted into the signal line.

Is it possible that you changed a similar parameter on your KP3 by mistake?



I don't think it will be the mic/line switch or a dead cable as he said he can hear the effect when he touches the pad - just not the dry signal

Thank you X-Trade. This is exactly what was the issue.
