2.Adjust the audio input level.
Use the [LINE INPUT VOLUME] knob to adjust the input level so that the peak indicator does not light red.
If you are using headphones
Use the [PHONES VOLUME] knob to adjust the volume.
4.Selecting a program
1.Use the [CONTROL SELECT] switch to select the signal (video, audio) that you want to process with the effect.
Use the left position to apply effects to the audio, or the right position to apply effects to the video. If you select COMBI (center
position), effects will be applied to both audio and video.
Refer to “Creating a COMBI program”
2.The [PROGRAM/BPM] display shows the number of the currently selected program. Use the [PROGRAM/BPM] knob to select a program (00–99).
3.Use the [FX BALANCE] knob to adjust the effect depth.
Turning this knob to the far left will lessen the effect; turning it to the far right will produce the maximum effect.
The result will depend on the effect you select.
If this knob is set to the far left, no effect will be applied to the sound (“dry”); if the knob is set to the far right, the maximum effect will be applied (“wet”).
If you want to use the [FX BALANCE] knob to adjust the effect depth, set the [CONNECTION] switch to DIRECT.
About the [PROGRAM/BPM] display
This shows the number of the currently selected program, the specified BPM, and the position of the point at which you touch the touch-pad.
When you touch the touch-pad: The position you touched (1.1–9.9; 5.5 is center) is displayed.
Vertical position (1–9)
Horizontal position (1–9)
When you switch programs: The display shows the program number (00–99). In Combination mode, this may indicate (--) for some settings when you use the program memory keys to recall a program.
When you set the BPM: When you use the [TAP/BPM] key to set the BPM, the display shows the BPM value. In Auto BPM mode, three dots will light.
In Pattern Select mode: The display shows the number of the currently selected pattern.
In MIDI Edit mode: The display shows information such as the MIDI channel or control number.
5. Using the touch-pad
1.Rub your finger over the touch-pad or tap (lightly strike) it to control the effect (sound).
Affix the included protective sheet to the pad to help protect it.
2.If you turn on the [HOLD] key, the effect (sound) for the position immediately before you removed your finger from the touch pad will be maintained.

6. Mute/Freeze function
By moving the [PAD MOTION / MUTE/ FREEZE] lever to the MUTE/FREEZE position (toward yourself) you can perform the following operations.
The current video image will freeze.
The currently-input signal, sampling sound, or synth/drum sound will be cut. This lets you output only the effect sound (e.g., delay or reverb).
Transformer 
By using the [PAD MOTION / MUTE/ FREEZE] lever to rapidly switch MUTE on/ off, you can create a rhythm from a sustained input sound; this is the “transformer” technique often used by DJs.
7. Pad motion
You can capture a series of finger movements performed on the touch-pad, and replay that motion by moving the [PAD MOTION / MUTE/FREEZE] lever to PAD MOTION.
[HOLD] key on/off operations are not recorded in a Pad Motion. If you turn the [HOLD] key on and replay a Pad Motion, the effect will be held at the point where pad motion playback stopped.
Recording
When you move the [PAD MOTION / MUTE/FREEZE] lever to PAD MOTION and touch the pad, recording will begin.
Since taking your finger off the touch-pad is also recorded as an operation, you can record operations such as tapping (lightly striking the pad several times). Recording will end when you return the [PAD MOTION / MUTE/FREEZE] lever, or when the maximum recording time (approximately six seconds) has been reached.
Playback
After recording, move the [PAD MOTION / MUTE/FREEZE] lever to PAD MOTION to play back the recorded motion.
While the [PAD MOTION / MUTE/FREEZE] lever is in the PAD MOTION position, the recorded movement will be played back repeatedly as a loop.
However if you touch the touch-pad during playback, recording will begin.
If you change programs, the pad motion that was recorded in the selected program will be recalled.
Erase
To erase the recorded motion, hold down the [FUNCTION] key and move the [PAD MOTION / MUTE/FREEZE] lever to PAD MOTION.
8. Setting the BPM
If you have set the BPM, you can select an effect program from the “BPM FX” or “BPM PTN” group and apply an effect that is synchronized to the BPM. For details on the relevant effect parameters, refer to the Effect Program List ( separate sheet).
What is BPM?
BPM (Beats Per Minute) indicates the tempo of a song in terms of the number of beats (quarter notes) per minute. A higher BPM means a faster tempo.
To set the BPM
If you already know the BPM value, press the [TAP/BPM] key and use the [PROGRAM/ BPM] knob to specify the value. If you do not set the BPM value within five seconds, normal operation will resume. You can also press the [FUNCTION] key to return to normal operation.
The range for BPM is 40–300.
Tap Tempo function
If you don’t know the BPM, set the tempo by pressing the [TAP/BPM] key two or more times at the beat of the song; the BPM will appear in the [PROGRAM/BPM] display.
Auto BPM function
If you press and hold the [TAP/BPM] key for several seconds, three dots will appear in the [PROGRAM/BPM] display, and the BPM of the input audio will be detected automatically.
If the BPM cannot be detected, the [PROGRAM/BPM] display will blink. Press the [TAP/BPM] key once again to exit automatic detection.
The detectable BPM range is 80–160.
MIDI Sync function
You can set the BPM to MIDI clock messages from an external MIDI device. Connect the [MIDI OUT] connector of the external MIDI device (e.g., a sequencer) that is sending MIDI clock messages to the [MIDI IN] connector of the KAOSS PAD Entrancer.
In order to make the KAOSS PAD Entrancer synchronize to sequence data, you will either need to insert a “Touch Pad On” message at the beginning of each measure in your sequence data, or touch the KAOSS PAD Entrancer’s touch-pad at the beginning of the phrase to start the phrase pattern.
If you want the KAOSS PAD Entrancer to receive MIDI Clock and Touch Pad On messages, go to MIDI Edit mode ( p.11) and make settings in “MIDI message transmission/reception settings” ( p.12) so that these messages will be received.
This function does not synchronize the KAOSS PAD Entrancer’s rhythm pattern programs to the sequence data.
If the KAOSS PAD Entrancer is synchronized to timing clock messages being received from an external MIDI device, the Touch Tempo and Auto BPM functions will not be available.

Pattern types
00–39: Impose patterns
These layer a superimposed pattern (such as the waveform of the input signal, or touch pad position information) onto the image. You cannot apply an effect to the imposed pattern or sample it.
40–59: Effect clip patterns
These patterns display color patterns or image data. You can use these as effect materials.
If you have selected a program from other than the “SAMPLE/PLAY” group, you cannot display these except while recording.

MIDI functions
What is MIDI?
MIDI (Musical Instrument Digital Interface) is a world-wide standard for exchanging a wide variety of performance-related data between electronic musical instruments, effect processors, sequencers, etc. and computers.
MIDI connections
Use commercially available MIDI cables to send or receive MIDI messages. Connect the KAOSS PAD Entrancer’s MIDI connectors to the MIDI connectors of the external MIDI device to/from which you want to send/receive data.
MIDI IN connector: Receives MIDI messages from another MIDI device. Connect this to the MIDI OUT connector of the external device.
MIDI OUT connector: Transmits messages from the KAOSS PAD Entrancer. Connect this to the MIDI IN connector of the external device.
Connection example
Here is an example of connecting the KAOSS PAD Entrancer with another MIDI device so that it will play back along with sequence data.

KORG EM-1
Using MIDI
In addition to using the KAOSS PAD Entrancer as an effect processor, you can use it as a realtime controller that can transmit MIDI messages to control a synthesizer or other external MIDI device.
If the KAOSS PAD Entrancer is connected to a MIDI sequencer, the MIDI messages transmitted when you operate the touch-pad can be recorded on the MIDI sequencer and then played back to reproduce all of your touch-pad operations.
About the MIDI implementation chart
The owner’s manual of each MIDI device contains a “MIDI implementation chart.” This chart is designed to show what type of MIDI messages this particular device is able to transmit and receive. When using two MIDI devices together, compare the implementation charts of the two devices to verify that they can communicate with each other.
* Detailed MIDI specifications are listed in the MIDI Implementation.
MIDI Edit mode
On the KAOSS PAD Entrancer, use the MIDI Edit mode to access the MIDI-related settings.
Hold down the [FUNCTION] key and press the [SAMPLE 2] key to enter MIDI Edit mode. The MIDI channel will blink in the [PROGRAM/BPM] display.
Setting the MIDI channel
In MIDI Edit mode, the [PROGRAM/BPM] display shows the MIDI channel. In this state you can use the [PROGRAM/BPM] knob to change the MIDI channel.
About MIDI channels
MIDI uses sixteen “channels” (1–16) to independently send data along a single cable to more than one MIDI device.
If the transmitting device is set to MIDI channel “1,” the MIDI messages will not be received unless the receiving device is also set to MIDI channel “1“.

MIDI message transmission/ reception settings
The transmission and reception of each type of MIDI message can be switched on/off by pressing the key assigned to that type of MIDI message. Transmission/ reception is enabled if the corresponding key is lit, and disabled if the key is dark. (see the “Transmitted and received messages” table below)
Some parameters are only transmitted, and others are only received.
Changing the MIDI control numbers
In MIDI Edit mode, you can hold down one of the [PROGRAM MEMORY 3–8] keys and turn the [PROGRAM/BPM] knob to change the control number setting assigned to that key.
Although you are free to assign (duplicate) an alreadyassigned control number, you cannot simultaneously enable transmission/reception of the same control number.
The MIDI messages transmitted and received by the KAOSS PAD Entrancer can be selected from a range of CC#1–CC#31, CC#64–CC#95, and Pitch Bend.
Storing the edited settings
In MIDI Edit mode, press and hold the [REC/STOP] key for one second or more; the edited MIDI settings will be stored. The pattern select mode setting will also be stored at this time. If you turn off the power without storing the settings, the KAOSS PAD Entrancer will revert to the previous settings.
To exit MIDI Edit mode
To return to normal operation, you can either touch the touch-pad, press the [FUNCTION] key, or wait for ten seconds without performing any operation.
About the stored settings
The contents of “PROGRAM MEMORY” and the control number settings you make in MIDI Edit mode can be transmitted as exclusive messages and saved on an external MIDI device.
For details on the exclusive messages that can be transmitted, refer to the separate MIDI Implementation.
Transmitted and received messages
With the factory settings, the KAOSS PAD Entrancer will transmit and receive the following MIDI messages.

SAMPLE 1 |
*1: You can select the MIDI message that will be transmitted/received from a range of CC#1–CC#31, CC#64– CC#95, and Pitch Bend. ( ) indicates the factory setting.
*2: On/off and CC# settings will be the same for transmission and reception.
Control changes for touch-pad Y-axis (Y=5–9, Y=5–1) and touch-pad X+Y axis can be transmitted but not received. This means that when recording control changes onto a sequencer, you must use MIDI Edit mode to turn [PROGRAM MEMORY 1–3] off so that unnecessary MIDI messages are not transmitted. You cannot duplicate the settings of control numbers that have already been assigned.

FAQ
Q1: A video effect is not applied when I touch the pad
A: Check the following points.
1)Is the control lever in the correct position? >> The video effect is applied only when the
control lever is in the COMBI or VIDEO mode.
2)Try adjusting the FX BALANCE knob.
>> The FX BALANCE knob adjusts the video only if the control lever is set to VIDEO.
3)Is the PAL/NTSC switch in the correct
position?
>>You must turn off the power before changing the position of this switch.
Q2: I can't sample a still image successfully.
A: In order to sample a still image, the control lever must be in VIDEO mode.
>>Set the control lever to VIDEO mode. Then use the MUTE/FREEZE lever to freeze the image and press the SAMPLE (1 or 2) button to sample the image.
Q3: In COMBI mode, the VIDEO effect applies only to still images.
A: If a still image is being played back, the video effect will apply to the still image.
>>To stop playback of the still image, temporarily set the control lever to VIDEO, and then press the SAMPLE button to stop the still image playback.
Q4: In COMBI mode, turning the FX BALANCE knob does not change the video effect.
A:In COMBI mode, the FX BALANCE knob applies only to the audio effect.
Q5: I want to store video effect and graphic pattern playback together in memory.
A:You can't store an effect program and graphic pattern playback together in the PROGRAM MEMORY 1–8 keys.
Q6: The graphic pattern disappears when I change the video effect.
A:Graphic pattern playback will stop when you re-select the effect program.
>>If you want to display the pattern again, you must re-enter graphic pattern mode.
If you want to apply a video effect to the pattern, first select the desired video effect, and then enter graphic pattern mode and select the pattern.
Q7: Can I mix the two video inputs VIDEO 1 and VIDEO 2?
A:The KAOSS Pad KAOSS PAD Entrancer does not have input mixing capability.
