I just bought a KP2, and am wondering from someone else who uses one: are the stickers safe to mount on the pad? I don't want the pad to get too worn from my fingernails actually brushing against it or anything, but I don't want to put the sticker on it because it make the pad less responive, or create a wierd pully sensation for the wrong area. |

i have one of these. i put one of the stickers on. it got little bubbles under it (i tried to do it as smooth as possible) but it doesn't seem to affect response or anything like that |

Cheers ;) I actually just put one on after asking the question. Its not too sticky, so you can pull it off without crazy shit getting all over the pad. What a fun little tool. I have only had about 10 hours or so of playing with it, but already, I know this is going to get about as much use as my sampler, which is my main instrument. It even makes listening to records funner. |

Yeah its an awesome device. I don't use mine as much as I should because I've been teaching myself how to create the same effects with my computer software. Brian Eno uses 4 of them on stage I heard. |

my bro has one. he got bubbles under the first sticker, so he replaced it with the 2nd one, and then that got a scratch in it, so i replace it with that sticky stuff u use to cover books (sorry dont know the word). all of it seemed easy enough and didnt ruin or break anything, or leave any sticky marks |

You know, creating neat effects with software is easy. I am kind of converting from software to hardware, and its giving me trouble, because software makes things so easy. |

a nice little tip. you can use the mic input, headphone output, and the rca cable output on the top to loop sound and the effects. it really expands the machine and is quite useful for noise and ambient stuff (but a bit hard to control, because sometimes it's hard to get the right volumes) |

Can you expand on that a bit more please... do you mean making a feedback loop using the headphones out going into the mic in? |

sure. i guess i was a little vague. i'll explain how i have mine set up (which includes a drum machine, and is kind of vital to the looping) i have a korg electribe es-1. from the es-1 headphone jack the audio feeds out into the line in on the kaoss pad. here's the loop part. the audio feeds out from the headphone jack on the kaoss pad into the audio in on the es-1. now this on it's own would create a loop, but you wouldn't be able to hear it. luckily, there is another audio out (line out) on the kaoss pad, which i have hooked up to my stereo. now it's audible. the mic output on the kaoss pad could also be substituted for the line out. as far as just looping the kaoss pad without any other machines, it can't really be done unless you split whatever input you use on the pad and bring the phones audio back into the input. sorry if my previous post was a bit misleading. is a little unfinished track using the pitch shifter on the kaoss pad and the compressor on the es-1 |

Cheers, I'm going to try something similar with the line in on my EA-1 (once I get my KP back off my mate). I'll let you know how I get one. |
