I don't know if it samples like the KP3 does (which is real handy for chip/electronic music) but having 4 effects at once would kick ass, which is something I lament about the KP3.

The fact that the KP3 samples might be a deciding factor for you also, or maybe not. and I can't recall the maximum sample time of the KP3 off the top of my head either though.

samples help a lot too. being able to drop 4 Carl Sagans at the same time is a lot of fun to do in a live show smile

And I have tons of rechargeable batteries at my disposal so I should be good (I hope)!

EDIT: and the one I wanted to get of course went for only $140... I'm so mad I just got paid tonight and not last week.

Just came across a Korg KP Quad for $175. I may end up getting that for the time being.

If you can find a working Quad for $175, take it. I doubt it'll stay at that price, they normally go up. I'd definitely get a Quad for that price.

one opened that has been used in the keyboard and one unopened and sealed


talk about your flash drives of yesterday!

You got some nice keyboards, mang. :0

OT: whichever one you get, it'll change you.
and I rarely really use my mini kp with batteries, but it's nice to have the option. If you get one, definitely get an adapter, you'll be on it a lot. wink

even with their bigger size than the originals, the newer ones are still much more portable than any other keyboard synth

But factor in their playability as a synthesizer and it's not worth it. Kaoss Pad as a synth is laughable imo. The best portable synth you could get is the microkorg.

yeah well he was asking about the kaossilator family, not keyed synths. I also play keyboards : fantom G8, triton extreme, & korg X3

wish I had a microkorg & nord piano & moog taurus & a yamaha keytar. oh well, one day maybe

So other than the bigger size and the no battery thing, have you had any other complaints or problems? Thanks!


no complaints, other than when one of my roommates asshole friends spilled a mixed cocktail all over it and gummed up all the buttons and sd card slot.

Where's you dump their body?

The KP3 is bigger as the KPMini, while the KPMini is smaller than the KP3.

Always glad to help.
