Operation

1. Turning on the power

1. Connect your equipment as described in the connection examples, and plug the AC adaptor into an AC outlet.

2. Press the [STANDBY] switch to turn on the power. The [PROGRAM/BPM] display will light.

An image will appear on the connected TV monitor.

To turn off the power

Press the [STANDBY] switch once again.

2. Checking the video input

1. Output a video signal from a connected device.

2. Use the [VIDEO SELECT] switch to select the input jack that is receiving the video signal you want to process.

1: The effect will apply to video input 1. 2: The effect will apply to video input 2 (or

S-video input 2). The [VIDEO 2] indicator will light. If no signal is being input to video input 2, the [VIDEO 2] indicator will blink.

S-video input 2 takes priority for video input

3. Adjusting the volume

1. Output audio from a connected device.

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.

Displaying a pattern

From Pattern Display mode, press one of the [PROGRAM MEMORY 1–8] keys to recall the pattern that is pre-selected for that key. You can press the [SAMPLE 1] key to turn the last-selected pattern on/off.

To cancel the display

To cancel the display, press the selected [PROGRAM MEMORY 1–8] key once again. The display will also be cancelled if you switch programs during normal operation.

The display will be not cancelled if you hold down the [FUNCTION] key and turn the program knob to change programs.

Effect clip patterns (40–59) will appear when you operate the touch pad.

Switching patterns

In Pattern Display mode, you can hold down one of the [PROGRAM MEMORY 1–8] keys and turn the [PROGRAM/BPM] knob to switch the pattern that is assigned to that key. If that key is selected, you can simply turn the [PROGRAM/BPM] knob to switch patterns.

Storing the modified settings

In Pattern Display mode, press and hold the [REC/STOP] key for one second or longer to store the modified settings. The settings of MIDI Edit mode will also be stored at this time. If you turn off the power without storing, the settings will revert to their previous state.

To stop the pattern display from being turned off when you change programs

Hold down the HOLD key while you turn on the power. (The HOLD key will light for a short time.)

To cancel

Turn off the power, and then turn it on in the normal way.

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

Using MIDI

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.

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.

KORG EM-1

Setting the MIDI channel

In MIDI Edit mode, the [PROGRAM/BPM] display

LINE IN MIDI INMIDI OUTOUTPUT

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.

Operation transmitted MIDI message transmitted Key that switches transmission on/off

Touch-pad X axis Effect control 1 (CC#12) *1, *2 PROGRAM MEMORY 4 Touch-pad Y axis Modulation depth 1 (CC#1) Y=5–9 PROGRAM MEMORY 1

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
