KP3 EasyStart
Connecting the KP3
1.Connect the LINE OUT L, R jacks to the line input of your DJ mixer, line mixer, or connect to the FX Return of your DJ mixer if so desired.
2.Set the CONNECTION switch to either DIRECT or SEND. Only set the CONNECTION switch to SEND if you are using the KP3 in an FX Send/Return configuration.
3.Connect your line input source to the LINE IN L, R jacks or a microphone to the 1⁄4” MIC input on the front. Set the INPUT SELECT switch to the corresponding input.
4.Adjust the input level using the INPUT VOLUME knob so that the PEAK LED does not turn RED. If a microphone is being used, first adjust the MIC TRIM knob so the sound is not distorted.
Selecting Programs and Working with PROGRAM MEMORY Buttons
There are 128 effect programs in the KP3 and these include some great new effects! Eight favorite programs can be saved to the eight PROGRAM MEMORY buttons.
1.If the display is showing the current BPM, PRESS the PROGRAM/BPM knob to switch to the program display.
2.HOLD the SHIFT button and rotate the PROGRAM/BPM knob to select by category. The display will show the category and program number (Example: Flt.1 or Voc.1). When a program is selected, the TOUCH PAD will display and scroll the program name!
3.Select program “Syn.1” and rub the TOUCH PAD. Nice synth sound! You can tell that this program synchronizes to BPM by the blinking BPM indicator to the right of the display.
4.Rotate the PROGRAM/BPM knob clockwise to advance to the next program. The PROGRAM/BPM knob is continuous so when the last program is reached it will wrap around to the beginning of the list.
5.Eight favorites can be stored on the PROGRAM MEMORY button. Simply press one of these eight buttons to recall a stored program.
6.To store a program to a PROGRAM MEMORY button, press the WRITE button. The PROGRAM MEMORY and the WRITE buttons will blink. Press the PROGRAM MEMORY button to which you want to save the program. Press WRITE to exit without saving.
