Replacing the batteries
The display will indicate “Lo” when the batteries
are running low. Please replace the batteries as
soon as possible.
You must turn off the power switch before re-
placing the batteries.
The included batteries are provided so that you
can verify that the unit operates correctly, and may
have a shorter lifespan than expected.
Use only alkaline batteries.
If the batteries become unusable, remove them
immediately. You should also remove the batteries if
you won't be using the unit for an extended time.
1. On the bottom panel, slide the battery case
cover in the direction of the arrow to open it.
2. Install four AA batteries. Make sure that the
batteries are inserted in the correct polarity (+, -).
3. Close the battery
case cover.
Turning the power on/off
Turning the power on
Set the ON/STANDBY switch to the ON position;
this turns the power on.
Turning the power off
Set the ON/STANDBY switch to the STANDBY
position; this will turn the power off.
If you’re using the mini-KP on battery power,
don’t forget to turn the power off when you are done
using it.
Connection setting
Hold down the MEMORY A button and press the
B button. Use the PROG/VALUE knob to select
“dir” (direct) or “snd” (send).
Choose the “dir” setting if you are connecting an
instrument or audio device directly to the miniKP (as in the diagram above). Choose the “snd”
setting if the mini-KP will be connected to the
effect send and return jacks of your mixer or
other device.
To return to the normal play mode, once again
hold down the MEMORY A button and press the
B button. The mini-KP will also return to the normal play mode (program selection state) after
about three seconds if no additional setting operations are performed.
This setting will be remembered even when the
power is turned off.
About the input level
The PEAK indicator will light red if the input signal level is too high. In this case, reduce the
output volume of the device that's connected to
the mini-KP.
Use the VOLUME knob on the front to adjust the
headphone volume.
Operation
Operating the touch pad
You can control the sound by rubbing or tapping
your finger on the touch pad. Each axis (X, Y) will
provide realtime control of a different effect parameter.
Hold
If you press the HOLD button while your finger is
on the touch pad, you can take your finger away
and the effect will continue to play as if your finger was still on the touch pad, and at the same
location as when you pressed the HOLD button.
Selecting an effect program
Tu rn the PROG/VALUE knob to select an effect
program 00–99.
FX RELEASE setting
Hold down the MEMORY B button and press the
TAP button, and then use the PROG/VALUE
knob to select “r.On” (FX Release On) or “r.OF”
(FX Release Off).
To return to the normal play mode, once again
hold down the MEMORY B button and press the
TAP button. The mini-KP will also return to the
normal play mode (program selection state) after about three seconds if no additional setting
operations are performed. This setting will be remembered even when the power is turned off.
What is FX RELEASE?
With FX RELEASE, the moment you take your
hand off the touch pad, a delay effect synchronized to the current BPM will be applied, and will
then gradually diminish. This allows you to make
smoother transitions and avoid the abrupt
change from a hard-edge effect back to the original —and unaffected— signal.
Adjusting the effect depth
Hold down the MEMORY A button and press the
TAP button, and then use the PROG/VALUE
knob to set the effect depth. To return to the
normal play mode, once again hold down the
MEMORY A button and press the TAP button.
The mini-KP will also return to the normal play
mode (program selection state) after about fifteen seconds if no additional setting operations
are performed.
Using the MEMORY A/B buttons
Each of the MEMORY A/B buttons be used to
store an effect program, the effect depth, the
HOLD button on/off status and the held position
on the touch pad. Then you can simply press the
MEMORY A or B button to instantly recall the
stored settings.
Storing the current settings to a
MEMORY button
Select the program that you want to store, and
adjust the effect depth. If you want to store the
Hold state, press the HOLD button to turn it on.
The position at which you last touched the pad will
be stored as the held position on the touch
Hold down one of the MEMORY buttons (A or B)

will be stored to that MEMORY button.
pad.
Setting the BPM
When you press the TAP button, the current
BPM setting will be displayed. Hit the TAP button
several times in tempo with your song, and the
mini-KP will detect the corresponding BPM
value and use it as the current setting. While the
BPM value is displayed, you can also adjust the
BPM value by turning the PROG/VALUE knob. If
you hold down the TAP button for an extended
time, the mini-KP will switch from the BPM setting back to program selection.
The mini-KP will also return to the program selection state if you haven’t performed any setting
operation for five seconds.
Restoring the factory settings
Hold down the TAP button and the MEMORY A
button as you turn on the power; all settings will
return to their factory-set state.
