RE: Kaoss pad 3 LED matrix controller idea for LP1



Hi,
In case you are interested, I've documented some hints and tips of the
Kaoss pad 3's external controller feature and the Roland FC-300 MFC in
combination with Looperlative LP1. I've installed it on the left side of
my stage piano, I'm controlling the KP3 with my left hand. The good
thing about it is that I have better visual control about what's
happening with the LP1 while looping. Imo a good alternative for
keyboard players or if you want to have a small but very powerful midi
controller and FX unit. 

LP1/FC-300/KP3 hints and tips => http://euroloopfest.com/sjaak/lp1.htm

Of course, the KP3 also has it's minus. The most annoying thing is that,
once you are in the external midi control mode, you can't use the
internal KP3 effects or play samples... Why? I hope Korg will add that
feature in a future OS version, because that will allow you to create an
initial loop on the LP1 using a KP3 tempo effect (eg delay) and have
them in sync. Because one of the very good things about the LP1 is that
midi sync works perfectly in both master and slave mode so that's not
the issue :)

Btw: Does anyone know were to drop enhancement requests at Korg?
Korg.com? Our local Korg website does not even have a support site
