Replacing the batteries
The display will indicate “Lo” when the batteries
are running low. Please replace the batteries as
soon as possible.
You must turn off the power switch before re-
placing the batteries.
The included batteries are provided so that you
can verify that the unit operates correctly, and may
have a shorter lifespan than expected.
Use only alkaline batteries.
If the batteries become unusable, remove them
immediately. You should also remove the batteries if
you won't be using the unit for an extended time.
1. On the bottom panel, slide the battery case
cover in the direction of the arrow to open it.
2. Install four AA batteries. Make sure that the
batteries are in-
serted in the cor-
rect polarity (+, -).
3. Close the battery
case cover.
Turning the power on/off

Turning the power on

Set the ON/STANDBY switch to the ON position;
this turns the power on.

Turning the power off

Set the ON/STANDBY switch to the STANDBY
position; this will turn the power off.
If you’re using the mini-KP on battery power,
don’t forget to turn the power off when you are done
using it.
Connection setting
Hold down the MEMORY A button and press the
B button. Use the PROG/VALUE knob to select
“dir” (direct) or “snd” (send).
Choose the “dir” setting if you are connecting an
instrument or audio device directly to the mini-
KP (as in the diagram above). Choose the “snd”
setting if the mini-KP will be connected to the
effect send and return jacks of your mixer or
other device.
To return to the nor mal play mode, once again
hold down the MEMORY A button and press the
B button. The mini-KP will also return to the nor-
mal play mode (program selection state) after
about three seconds if no additional setting op-
erations are performed.
This setting will be remembered even when the
power is turned off.

About the input level

The PEAK indicator will light red if the input sig-
nal level is too high. In this case, reduce the
output volume of the device that's connected to
the mini-KP.
Use the VOLUME knob on the front to adjust the
headphone volume.
Operation

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 pa-
rameter.
