Hi I have a mini kaoss pad and have been thinking to pair it with a Kaossilator Pro for recording loops.

As I'd like to get effects from mini,

is is logical to manipulate sounds generating from Kaoss Pro, then make it go through mini kaoss pad for effects, and drive it back to the input of Kaoss Pro for loop recording?

Would this make the original sound overlap with the effected one during recording?

Thanks.

Updated: See message by me lower in thread with instructions.

If I understand your question your asking is their a way to only record into loops based on the input jacks only and I don't believe there is a way to do this. The Kaossilator pro will attempt to record both the input and the Program being played on the touchpad. But again let's see what others state.

For what you want to do there are a couple of options. A KP3 would be a great add-on as would add the effects and the ability to record the loops exactly as you would like.

Also you could record out to PC and then import using the K Pro Editor software.

Thank you for the reply!

That's exactly what i'd like to know.

yes, it is very simple...you simply arm a bank by pressing record, make sure your input is set to line and not mix, then hit the red flashing bank you want....anything coming in over the line inputs will be recorded. what you cannot do is hold your finger on the pad and hold a bank button, that will record the pad sounds and not the line in or mic

Yes I see this in the manual. You can record any of the three combinations: Program Only, Input Only, combination with the instructions below. I will test it tonight though to see if you can actually perform using a program and do what you want while only recording the input.

Recording
Recording a mix of the program’s sound and
the audio input
1. Press the REC button. When you press the
button, the LOOP RECORDER BANK buttons
and the REC button will blink; the KAOSSILATOR PRO will be in record-ready mode.
2. Press the LOOP RECORDER BANK button that you want to use for recording; that
LOOP RECORDER BANK button will light-up,
and recording will begin.
3. When you want to stop recording, press
the LOOP RECORDER BANK button; recording will stop, and the KAOSSILATOR PRO will
switch to playback.11
4. When you want to start recording again,
press the LOOP RECORDER BANK button
once again to start recording.
5. When you press the REC button, recordready mode will be cancelled, and the REC
button will go dark.
TIP: If you press the REC button during recording,
the REC button will go dark and recording will stop.
The LOOP RECORDER BANK button that had been
recording will switch to playback.
Recording the program’s sound
You can create and record rhythm or bass
phrases using the sounds of the KAOSSILATOR PRO’s built-in programs. This can be
useful preparation for a live performance or as
a guide for practicing.
1. Hold down the LOOP RECORDER BANK
button for the bank that you want to record,
and use the touch pad to perform.
2. When you want to stop recording, release
the LOOP RECORDER BANK button. When
you release the button, the bank will switch to
playback.
3. If you want to overdub another layer onto
the recorded phrase, hold down the LOOP
RECORDER BANK button when you want to
start overdubbing, and use the touch pad to
perform.
Recording the audio input
1. Hold down the LOOP RECORDER BANK
button for the bank that you want to record,
and press the REC button. The audio input will
be recorded while you hold down the REC button.
2. When you want to stop recording, release
the REC button. When you release the button,
the bank will switch to playback.
3. If you want to overdub another layer onto
the recorded phrase, hold down the LOOP
RECORDER BANK button and press the REC
button when you want to start overdubbing.
TIP: By holding down the LOOP RECORDER BANK
button and repeatedly pressing the REC button, you
can slice the audio input while you record.

Just tried this and my K Pro did not like it all. Bad hum. Unplugged so can't tell you if this will work or not unfortunately.

i had to ditch my minikp because when i put kopro through it, it dropped the level significantly.

Having the Input Level knob on the KP3 is vital.
