heh if you think precision on the KP3 is tough, wait til you play around with a KOPro. it's essentially unusable for accurate synthing, aside from playing octaves.

On a related note, I have noticed and meant to bring it up on here for a very long while now that there is a noticeable latency from pressing the banks on when they are all muted to them actually playing back. To say the KPro is aimed primarily at DJ's, I would have thought they would have made the ...

uhm where is this deal??? i'm about to drive to wherever that is and grab it heh. that is an AMAZING deal.

Be careful when you're getting the RC-50.. buy it from a legit store that you can return it to. I don't own one myself, but after my crazy tempo/syncing problems I had with my KP3, I've started doing lots of research before buying gear. I've read lots about issues with the RC-50 as well, mainly that ...

Unless you're gonna do strictly Beardy man (or I guess any other loop-based beatboxing Schlomo-type stuff), the KP3 will be useless to you without other instruments. The onboard "synths" effects aren't even worth mentioning, and the drum loops are mediocre at best, and are plagued with tempo ...

More questions. Given the hardware I already have (nova, microkorg, Kaossilator, X3): -- Would the KP3 do most of what I'm looking for? --And, will the KP3 sync to/from midi clock? --Can the KP3 send note on off (in order to control other synths?) --it mentions "beat syncing" of samples...does that ...

hahahaha dude i will totally trade you my kp3 for your kopro

Don't get me wrong, I see the pros and cons for it but I think it's unfair to expect the world of pro-audio in one box for £300. No but that's the problem.. it's not unfair at all to expect it because it was very possible. Korg was allllmost there.. we're talking about very minor details that a ...

As much as I want 32 beats or an undo function, it will NEVER happen with this physical iteration of KOPro/KP3.. it's just a fundamental problem of memory.. To double the sampling time to 32 beats, you have to remember you're doubling it for all 4 loop banks. It's a shame too, because half the songs ...

+1 thanks for all the tips.. I'm still pretty new at the whole patch editing (R3 defaults are awesome sounds and I haven't found a need for much tweaking), so this all was very useful

@darthballs - If that's true then isn't that kind of ridiculous? I mean, Korg is a reputable company that makes all kinds of musical gear. If they make a drum machine that can't keep a beat then how do they ever sell product? oh it's totally ridiculous. I mean its primary function is not a drum ...

nahhhh the internal drum patterns are off. it doesn't time correctly to any bpm. as far as the other syncing issues, it looks like they're not as bad as I originally remembered (I just re-bought a KP3 off craigslist for super cheap), but the internal drum patterns are definitely programmed off sync ...

I agree. It would have been a good idea and I'd guess it wouldn't have been that difficult to implement but then, they want people to buy the KP3 and this is just another little reason to do that. I'm not sure this is why they left that feature out.. even if you had a KP3, you couldn't easily just ...

I'm not familiar with patchbays, but I just ordered this: http://keyboards-midi.musiciansfriend.com/product/MIDI-Solutions-Quadra-4Output-MIDI-Thru-Box?sku=702504 It's pretty much just a splitter for MIDI, since you mentioned a master clock. I use a drum machine as a master clock to send tempo ...

wow looks like you're right, k0va.. I downloaded the manual just to satisfy my own curiosity (also I thought you might've just overlooked a setting) but it looks like the KOPro did NOT inheret the KP3's updated OS functionality of changing loop playback settings.. from the manual: "TIP: If you start ...
