Does anyone know if its possible to change the key that the KPro is set to, via a midi message?

Not according to the MIDI spec in the manual.

Cheers.

One day I'll actually ask a question that my new £300 paper weight will be able to do!

Not impressed with it then? What's the main gripe?

Well, like everyone else I really miss the gate arp pattens from the first one.

I also sortof assumed that the KPro was capable of syncing a midi clock with incoming audio - as i believe the KP3 can. But nope.

For my setup to work properly with a KPro I've gotta go out and drop another £80 for a red sound micro to go in between my mixer and the KPro. I know I can use the tap tempo to do this but there's already enough going on in my live shows without having to keep tapping the KPro.

I was kinda hoping that i could send a midi message to the Kpro so i could remotely change the key from my laptop...but i can't do that either!

On the plus side... I like the new bigger pad, it sounds a little beefier than the little one and the lights looks great.

Try storing different keys in the 8 program buttons as a workaround.
