I have a KP3 and minikp and I love them. Touch pads are fun and the effects sound great. Scored the minikp for like $50 used. Kind of plastic-y and toy-like, but toys are all the rage these days with the op1, volca synths, tiny pedals, etc etc.

lol. i just can't get into the Volcas for some reason. they're cute, but i need me some save spots and patterns and at least a bit of depth and shizz.

jia. i really like using the touchpad on the Electribe, seems like a bigger, dedicated version would be the good times.

KP3 is the newest iteration?

PLUS. EXCITEMENT!

....... just talked to a super neato sounding dooder on CL, we're to meet tomorrow and hand off monies towards him and a KP3 towards me. seems like a very nice price.

WOOT.

I voted with dollars.

It's a fun toy, would I want it for my only thing?

Probably not.

But it does make some fine noises!

Yea, I'm aware of the dude's KP-guitar, it's behind the bridge though.

And doesn't have the built-in blaster distortion circuit that I actually like.

The distortion circuit is UGLY, and that's a grand thing, I think I use that more than the KP. It's shitty metal distortion gone right.

I have a KP quad. I use it mostly to mangle loops. Nowadays in my project I use it to process my vocals. Good stuff!

I have a minikp2 I picked up brand new for £50 a couple of christmas' ago. I love it! The build quality is ass but the sounds are ace for such a dinky little thing, makes a fantastic companion to my tetrax (stereo processing!) and anything else I throw at it. I assume that Korg has sentenced the large scale kaoss' to death with all the iPad stuff available these days.
