Thanks a lot for the kind comments!
I just bought the KP3 last week, found a used one for super cheap and didn't know too much about it beforehand to be honest......this thing kicks ass! In my previous videos, I am purely using the KP3 for FX, no looping at all.....I like to tweak and build loops live, save them right on the Volcas and then bounce back and forth between different part, makes for a fun time!
To answer your questions, the main KP3 FX I am using in those songs are the FuzzDistortion, and Ping-pong delay. I am going to add another video right now that I just finished that shows some of the sampling and looping capabilities of the KP3. For the intro of 'Sweet Leaf' (one of my favourite Sabbath tunes), I had some fun with the looped fit of coughing that Black Sabbath has at the start of the original version. I recorded the sound of a bong hit, sampled it onto the KP3, reversed it and slowed it down, added piles of delay and then looped it for a dark and menacing intro. The KP3 is one killer piece of gear!
As for my favourite feature on the Beats, I love the stutter and speed record equally......they both give so many options for new sounds. I really like using the speed control to tune the PCM parts for weird sounds and harmonies, and love stutter for variation in repetitive drum beats. I have a new favourite Volca all the time, now that it is paired with the KP3 I think the Keys is my fave......4 bar flex time, motion record, ring mod, and polyphony, great stuff!
