Korg KAOSS PAD mini-KP Manuel D'utilisation page 4

Operation
Volume knob
The VOLUME knob affects only the headphone volume.
The VOLUME knob will not affect the LINE OUT volume.
Operating the touch pad
You can control the sound by rubbing or tapping your
finger on the touch pad. Each axis (X, Y) will provide
realtime control of a different effect parameter.
Hold
If you press the HOLD button while your finger is on
the touch pad, you can take your finger away and
the effect will continue to play as if your finger was
still on the touch pad, and at the same location as
when you pressed the HOLD button.
Selecting an effect program
Turn the PROG/VALUE knob to select an effect
program 00–99.
FX RELEASE setting
Hold down the MEMORY B button and press the TAP
button, and then use the PROG/VALUE knob to se-
lect "r.On" (FX Release On) or "r.OF" (FX Release
Off).
To return to the normal play mode, once again hold
down the MEMORY B button and press the TAP
button. The mini-KP will also return to the normal
play mode (program selection state) after about
three seconds if no additional setting operations
are performed. This setting will be remembered
even when the power is turned off.
What is FX RELEASE?
With FX RELEASE, the moment you take your
hand off the touch pad, a delay effect synchronized
to the current BPM will be applied, and will then
gradually diminish. This allows you to make
smoother transitions and avoid the abrupt change
from a hard-edge effect back to the original—and
unaffected—signal.
Adjusting the effect depth
Hold down the MEMORY A button and press the
TAP button, and then use the PROG/VALUE knob
to set the effect depth. To return to the normal play
mode, once again hold down the MEMORY A but-
ton and press the TAP button. The mini-KP will also
return to the normal play mode (program selection
state) after about fifteen seconds if no additional
setting operations are performed.
Using the MEMORY A/B buttons
Each of the MEMORY A/B buttons be used to store
an effect program, the effect depth, the HOLD
button on/off status and the held position on the
touch pad. Then you can simply press the
MEMORY A or B button to instantly recall the
stored settings.
Storing the current settings to a
MEMORY button
Select the program that you want to store, and
adjust the effect depth. If you want to store the
Hold state, press the HOLD button to turn it on.
The position at which you last touched the pad will
be stored as the held position on the touch pad.
Hold down one of the MEMORY buttons (A or B)
and press the HOLD button; the current settings
will be stored to that MEMORY button.
Setting the BPM
When you press the TAP button, the current BPM
setting will be displayed. Hit the TAP button several
times in tempo with your song, and the mini-KP will
detect the corresponding BPM value and use it as the
current setting. While the BPM value is displayed, you
can also adjust the BPM value by turning the PROG/
VALUE knob. If you hold down the TAP button for an
extended time, the mini-KP will switch from the BPM
setting back to program selection.
The mini-KP will also return to the program selec-
tion state if you haven't performed any setting
operation for five seconds.
Restoring the factory settings
Hold down the TAP button and the MEMORY A
button as you turn on the power; all settings will
return to their factory-set state.
