Yes, a Y cable could work, but it would be better to have the mic go to a mini-mixer first, then split the output from the mixer to the two KP3s. That way you can mute and adjust the gain from one place on the mixer, instead of in two places on the KP3s. You can also use the mixer to blend the outputs of both KP3 together.

you could also run the two KPs in series - outs of one to the ins of the other.

Then you can apply effects to your voice (or other input), then add on more effects and even play back samples on the last KP in the chain.
