Hi guys,

Hopefully you can help me with a major problem im having with my Kaoss Pad...

I use it as part of my live electronic set up with ableton... it hooks up through my MOTU express soundcard and use it as a type of external effects controller so that i can use its many cool effects like delay, lfo etc on the stems which im playing through Ableton via my apc40.

All of a sudden it's started feeding back ALOT when my finger is in the top half of the touch pad... I've tried resetting the kp3 and twiddling with the few knobs which are on the KP3 to try and get rid of it but with no luck..

Has anyone any idea what this could be?

I brought the kp3 from new about a year ago and only use it for rehearsals and gigs so it's not been mistreated or old or anything like that.

Any help would be great as i want it back to normal...

Thanks,

Paul

Hi PaulShookz,

it is maybe a routiong problem where the "wet" sound is routed to the KP´s input again. Does the problem also occur when you connect a audio source to the KP3 but diconnect the output and listen via headphones?

Hi Marxon,

Thanks for the reply. I've just been into the routing within Ableton and played with the wet/dry mix but it didnt solve anything sadly. The feedbacks almost like when you hold a mic in front of a speakers (you know them ones).

Not sure if it can be fixed but the KP3 might just have broken some how or something like that...

Hi again,

did you tried it without ableton?


Best regards

Not yet, i'm going to get that tested tomorrow eve... Will find out the source of the problem then.

Thanks
