I own the k pro +. I would be happy to help.</p>
<p>I feel there's huge potential gain in the kaoss pro series, with only one
extra feature:<br />
- Sequential loop recording/playing (possibility here are endless but some may
include: a total sampling time of 36 measures!, or two overlapped sequences
(a->b / c->d ), seq repeat (ax3 -> b -> cx3 -> d), etc).</p>
<p>I would have been able to program that in Synthmaker (Flowstone) since you
CAN send the A-B-C-D button press while in play mode, with MIDI note ons (36 to
39), BUT (huge but!) you CAN'T while in rec mode, this disallows the extended
sampling time features.</p>
<p>Do you think an electronics hack could be donde to REMOTELY (think pedal /
automatic as in an implementation of the feature I described) handle start/stop
sampling ?</p>Inside a KORG Kaossilator Pro - diegourn:md5:334641c005b57e9132c420a0ffc46be82015-03-15T18:55:59+01:002016-10-16T17:59:16+02:00diego<p>Good job man<br />
I have a kaossilator pro+<br />
It Will be intéresting to patch the ron<br />
To get New samples. Is that possible<br />
It Will be great.</p>

manual".<br />
I put it there : <a href="http://nsatn.net/wp-content/Panoramas/kp3/kp3.pdf" title="http://nsatn.net/wp-content/Panoramas/kp3/kp3.pdf" rel="ugc nofollow">http://nsatn.net/wp-content/Panoram...</a></p>
<p>Some infos you can add (or not) to your post <img src="/themes/default/smilies/wink.png" alt=";)" class="smiley" /></p>
<p>It seems Korg use TI DSP TMS320VC5501P in all of their Kaoss Pad products,
maybe in Electribe too.</p>

)</p>
<p>On your photos (Kaossillator pro), it seems to be the CN101 pinouts
block<br />

)</p>
<p>Pinouts are like the following on this DSP :<br />

)</p>
<p>Curiously, Mini kaossilator has some pins on the left, which can be easily
connected.<br />

)</p>
<p>Next step (for me) would be to get a Jtag emulator for this sort of TI DSP
(available on farnell for approx 60 €), and a mini kaossilator (Approx 50 €) to
see what can be leak.</p>
<p>Good luck ;c)</p>
