Is there a new one [coming] out? I heard something about
this awhile ago, but haven't seen anything about it.. even
on korg.com

anyone? eh?

yeah it's been out for a couple of months Linky

the reviews i've read have said it's got some nice features,
but after owning a KP2 for a few weeks and finding it to be
utter shit, i'm sceptical

search youtube for it - there are 4 or 5 movies about it
that are quite good.

For under £300, it's pretty impressive.

I've got a KP1 and think it's good at what it does (I'm no
fanboy of it, mind). I really like the look of these, but
would want to play on one first.

Previous thread by me

Has some youtube examples. Looks fucking lush. I got rid of
my KP2 because it seemed useless in my studio, but this
looks like its just the ticket.

However, I wish they would allow you some control over what
is controlled in the patches. It makes it kind of
unintuiitive if the delay rate somethings falls on the x,
then other times falls on the y. Also would be nice if you
could customize the sounds a bit more.

Tried one at Music Live and it's great. The granular
sampling fx are just great.

you could make a shitload more useful one in max in an
afternoon using your trackpad as an interface. £300 is a
fortune for a bunch of crap effects.

That sounds like the opinion of someone who has sat there
and actually tried it out.

Points: 9958 Status: Lurker



PS. You could make a patch in max that controls the
frequency of a fart like a theremin using your penis as an
interface. That still isn't going to stop you from being a
wanker.

PPS. People who spend all day trying to make hardware into
max patches for the sake of saying that they made it in max
are wankers.

Yes. But I have tried max, and realized that I had better
things to do with my time than becoming a wanker.

I don't need to convince you that max will make you a
wanker. It should be self evident.

Its amazing how many people on the internet seem to go
around assuming they are the only inteligent people around.
That generally ends after you hit puberty.

Thats the wonderfull thing about internets. Nobody knows
when who is serious until someone shows up at your house
with a shotgun.

Or they end up here.

FUCKING AGREEED MATE!

Alrite, Max/MSP can do some wonderful things, but I really
cannot be arsed to sit at a laptop, looking even more nerdy
than I already do trying to learn a programming language
that I'll never properly understand.

Mind, the demos are pretty nice.

I don't want to get involved in the "you could replicate
this on the PC" debate (it's something I've done with other
gear and I sit decidedly on the fence on the matter). I will
say, however, that the kaoss pad's touchpad is vastly
superior to the one on every laptop I have ever used.

honestly there was no debate. i just stated a fact and a few
halfwits started posting. if you've got £300 to throw away
then bob's your uncle. i honestly couldn't give a fuck. a
small amount of work to save £300 bells is just 'a good
idea'. i'm not championing the 'pc verus hardware' debate or
saying max is the be all and end all. nor am i telling
anyone what to do. honestly i don't post on this board much
and there's always been a fair degree of twatery but i just
couldn't be arsed with this.

I was just saying that whilst you can make an approximation
of piece of gear x, it's seldom that close. Yes, you could
make something that resembles a kaoss pad in max (and even
Ableton Live and the lowly Fruityloops include preset things
to do this).

ableton live was actually made in max, monolake used to have
his old sequencers on his site. and whilst doing a version
of an XY controller to control VSTs or homemade plugin's
will not be exactly the same as a kaoss pad, it will be
completely flexible, and if you're using a crack, completely
free. it's reasons like this that after using demos and
cracks for 18months i shelled out and bought max. i'm not
trying to be elistist as the bloke above seems to think,
quite the opposite. in his own words:-

"however, I wish they would allow you some control over what

is controlled in the patches. It makes it kind of
unintuiitive if the delay rate somethings falls on the x,
then other times falls on the y. Also would be nice if you
could customize the sounds a bit more. "

Ummm. Yeah. What I mean is I don't want to be obligated to
sit in front of a computer either. I like being able to move
around when I make music. It makes me feel like less of a
wanker.

PS. honestly there was no debate. i just stated a fact
and a few
halfwits started posting. if you've got £300 to throw away

the words of a true wanker.
Perhaps before you get into internets a little bit you
should learn how to count.

And just before you start to whine any more I'm going to
point out that you went in a thread where some users were
excited about something and did nothing but insult it. That
is trolling and didn't dignify any other kind of response.

Points: 1985 Status: Lurker




having a different point of view isn't insulting, and i only
posted for the benefit of people. its great reading back on
this thread and seeing how rubbish your arguement is.

Well you certainly said they were crap and its a waste of
money. I guess you could say that was "having a different
point of view". I saw it as trolling. In many message boards
if you just show up and throw out a negative comment that
doesn't really add anything to the conversation its
considered trolling and gets you flamed. If you don't choose
to accept that opinion as anything but rubbish, then knock
yourself out. Most people who have a little working
knowledge of music production are fully aware of the fact
that you can turn shit into magic with max.

If you need any further examples, just look up the name
PAWEL on most music making message board. He regularly takes
good threads, and adds relatively unrelated jabs at the
topic content, then big ups his "experiments" in
supercollider (see: gourmet beats).

i reserve my right to be a negative cunt thanks. i was
talking about the topic in hand, its not like i showed up
and randomly called you a cockwit, i expressed a different
opinion and pointed out a better opinion, if having someone
disagree with you means that you have to start writing three
posts in a row of insults then perhaps you shouldn't take it
all so personally. and if you think someone is 'trolling'
then why do you respond? that would be exactly what they
want?

Yes, Pawel's stuff is shit. Next time someone slates floops
and bigs up max/supercollider, I'll point them in the
direction of this and then Midnight Request Line.

1 - Hey, before you undergo a gigantic brain hemorage due to
getting unreasonably stressed from a messageboard, perhaps
you should consider that most people who haven't learned max
don't want to learn max, and you piece of advice was
equivocal to telling them that they might as well use the
body of a squid to the effect of a kaos pad? You didn't
offer them a better option. Anyways, I might suggest you
calm down a bit and not take things so seriously.
