See this looks fun, r u getting endless miles out of these machines...? I'm not trying to make money from my music. So as far as investment I keep going back and forth as to what to spend good money on! Hardware or software ya know what I mean?
This is good :) But I have a philosophy of which keeps me from conplimenting u without hekping u excel... So, with that being said, if I had to say SOMETHING was wrong, id say that u r early on release when u rnt using the arpegiator... Trying increasing release. Not a big problem :) Anyways, good job; keep it up! :D
can you please tell me how you are sequencing the micro korg, is that through the xr20 or the kp3 beacuse im getting an micro korg and i wanna know the simplest way to sequence it with a drum pattern plz help :)
@THEDANCINDJTRIVIAL The microkorg (playing arp patterns and melodies etc) and the XR-20 are being sent to the KP3. The KP3 loop records phrases as I play them... and also adds effects.
This is sick dood! I'm currently running an AKAI MPK49, Korg KP# & Kaossilator PRO through an M-Aduio interface. My next investment is going to be a MicroKorg. I hope someday to be able to mix a beat half as smooth as what you've got going here, this is some amazing work and you make it look a helluva lot easier than it is. Cheers!
@brotherthew101 Nice gear! I bought a Kaossilator Pro this past summer and I just picked up an Akai MPK MIni tonight actually. After something like 7 years, my M-Audio Firewire 410 still runs and sounds like a dream. But I think good music can be made on the simplest of equipment. All you need is a little practice and a lot of passion to make a great beat. Thanks for the kind words! Keep making tunes, dood :)
Can i just STRESS how much I LOVE your music and videos? They are just so great, creative and entertaining! I'm trying to get into this kind of synthisizing, but I don't know what to get as a beginner. Need something that doesn't go above 400 dollars since I'm just trying out! What do you reckommend as a starting synth? I was thinking the monotron and kaossilator. If you can help me out that would be awesome! (:
@crazycypriot123 The great thing about the monotron and kaossilator is that they are both dirt cheap... esp. if you can find them second-hand. So if you just want something to mess around with to see if you like it, they are good choices. If you're looking for a good starter keyboard synth, I'd say a microKORG. They are relatively cheap used and if you get really into tweaking patches, you can come up with some pretty awesome sounds. Good luck! and thanks for watching :)
this is a sicccccckkkkkkkk vid man... is it easy to loop like that? how do you set the microkorg and akai both to the kaoss so you can get the loops onto it? is it easy to do? does this all come out of one amp, i have a microkorg and a korg padkontrol, i really want a non midi drumpad though because i really hate setting it up and using my computer, its still good though (: might sell and get an akai xr20 though
@mikal20677 It's fairly easy to do live looping on the KP3. The microKORG and the XR-20 are both plugged into a splitter and then that goes into the input on the KP3. You just need to find the right cables. You can also use a mixer. The XR-20 has nice pads and the sounds are fairly modern. If you wanted to keep it all Korg, their line or electribes are also a good choice. Good luck!
wow in the very beginning it reminded me of Pink floyd actually. Then after the beat came in it no longer did but still it's having a small hint of Pink Floyd (my opinion)
@KidKulit - good job on that song I really liked it alot1 I'm in fact right now waiting for my new Microkorg xl to be shipped to me- I'm highly considering buying an Akai xr-20 as well. Would you recommend getting an xr-20 used for 150.00? IO can and I just might but I want to hear from you being that you own one- just how cool is the xr-20?
@chrishouchins49 $150 for a used XR-20 is a pretty good deal. Cheapest I've seen is $200. I think the sound set is good. Fairly simple to use. Good feel on the pads. Runs on batteries is a bonus. For that price, it's hard to beat! Good luck and have fun :)
@geggiii there are only 4 sample pads yes. BUT you can resample any combination of those pads plus any effects changes you may want to apply down to a single pad if you'd like. glad you like the vids :)
I've been having trouble with my Kaoss Pad 3. I'm using it along with my Korg but when i'm trying to loop things it doesn't play back the recorded sample when I press the selected bank button. Have you any idea what the problem could be? Have I maybe not got enough cables? Or do I need a memory card? Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thank you. And thanks for the video.
dont wanna bother u again :P but if ur ever makin a new video could u take teh time to do a tour of your gear and how your connect it and oyur set up it'd really cool :P
@melvalicious92 Absolutely! The microKORG + XR-20 are hooked up to the KP3. So just send the outs on the KP3 to your computer's audio in jack (or your audio interface for better sound quality) and make sure your system settings \ program settings are setup correctly. And you're golden!
@rzr3k hardware, software, it's all good! and just up to personal preference. the important thing is that you just make music, whatever way possible... in this day and age, the options are limitless... thanks for the words... I'll try to keep it fresh
I have a couple of questions. How did u split all of ur sounds? Like the drums came from there lead melodies came here etc, and is it possible to play the majority of that song or a song in general on only of those 3 pieces?
@murcadha The Akai XR-20 is being used to create any drum\percussion sounds. The Korg microKORG is being used to create the arp pattern, the pads, and the lead sounds. The Korg KP3 is recording all the phrases as I am playing them and then looping them back. It's also being used to add effects to all the parts. As for your second question, this entire song is being played on only these 3 pieces of gear... so yes, it's possible!
@KidKulit thanks man! I just got the KP3 and I've been looking at the MicroKORG for a while, also is it possible to download sounds from a computer onto the microKORG?
@murcadha No. The microKORG does have an audio input, but it's used to further process whatever sound source you have plugged into it, not to record it. The KP3, however, is also a sampler. It will allow you to load samples from your computer using SD cards.
@Abovedatlive my best work comes out at 4am ;) the amount of samples is relative to how big your memory is. the maximum SD card the KP3 can handle is 2GB.
I own a microKorg & KP3 & have been considering the XR-20 (I have the iMS-20 & iElecTribe apps on the iPad, but really want a physical beat station); after viewing this I'm omw to best buy to pick this puppy up...the Akai MPK49 is sweet, so I know XR-20 will be as well, Ty for (unknowingly) assisting me in my decision :) Sweet track btw, very relaxing...
@AShipofSeamen you can run the microkorg directly through the KP3, no computer required. you just need the proper cables. I use 1/4" (microkorg) to RCA (KP3). good luck!
Really inspirational sounds thanks for sharing... do you mind if i ask what software you use???? I cant decide between logic, reason and fruity loops...
@BleedingChestWounds For this particular video, I'm not using any software. All the music is being created live from the hardware you see and recorded using only photobooth on a MacBook Pro. But when I'm working on sound outside of live performance, Logic is my go to DAW.
I'm pretty to synths, I just got a microkorg for my birthday last august and I was wondering, can you hook the mk up to the kp3 and record loops/samples? Is that what you're doing in this video? Any help would be greatly appreciated
@MrMinerulez thanks! I'm using a Belkin Rockstar Multi-Headphone Splitter as a kind of mini-mixer to get the microKORG + XR-20 to the RCA input at the same time. Search youtube for "jetdaisuke - Belkin RockStar Multi Headphone Splitter" video for more info on how this is done.
@biigbeet The XR-20 is not connected to the microKORG. Instead, both the XR-20 and the microKORG are connected to the KP3... which is recording and looping from the drum machine and the synth.
@moneygreens Unfortunately, no. The XR-20 is not a traditional MPC. You can only use the sounds that are pre-programmed into the machine. But there are quite a few of them to choose from and they can be edited slightly within the unit.
@spenceb25 For this particular set-up, no computer is needed. I only used my Mac to record the video. All the music making magic is happening with the hardware.
@KidKulit Yeah, it sounds absolutely amazing. I'd love your opinion on something though. I'm in a deathcore band, and now we want to be more post-hardcore sounding. like Attack Attack, Asking Alexandria, Underoath, The Devil Wears Prada, etc. I play guitar, and I was also going to get a Korg MicroKorg, since I already know piano anyways. I also thought about getting a Kaoss Pad, and the KP3 seems amazing, but idk if I can afford it :/ Should I go with the mini, or just wait?
@Marvin427 Well, the effects available on the miniKP and the KP3 are identical - they both sound great. The main difference here is that the KP3 is also capable of sampling (either by way of live phrase recording aka looping... or by loading samples from an SD memory card). If you want to be able to sample, I would suggest waiting until you can afford the KP3. If you just want to be able to apply effects to your existing sound, the miniKP is an inexpensive but fantastic choice. Hope that helped!
@Marvin427 In terms of live use, either would do just fine I think. The miniKP can run on batteries alone, where the KP3 needs to be plugged in, so keep that in mind. If you found a KP2 for $100 I'd say get it to start with. That's a great deal and a cheap way to experiment and see if a Kaoss Pad will work for your purposes. The KP2 can also sample, but there are only 2 sample pads and no SD card slot. It's still an excellent choice esp. at that price. Good luck!
@KidKulit Thank-you, thank-you! I really appreciate all the info(:
I just ordered my MicroKorg a few minutes ago. It's my christmas present :D
I'll probablly get the KP2 and see how that goes. If I don't like it, the Kaoss pads seem to have a great resale value, so i can always try something else.
Fantastic vid man well done great track , i use the kp2 kp3 and the microkorg at the moment am considering the xr 20 too ,can you loop within the xr 20 and quantise the drum pattern prior to recording onto kp3? ps this is the best vid i have seen yet with people with similar setups hats off , and big ups...Ols
@Radiolobe yes you can pre-program quantized drum patterns on the xr-20 prior to recording into the KP3. I haven't gotten that far with the machine yet. I recently acquired an EMX-1 that I've been using primarily for drum patterns now. so there's a possibility I'll be getting rid of the XR-20. Not yet though, too many great sounds!
Do you have both the xr and the microKORG going through a mixer then to the line in of the kp3 or do you have the microKORG going through the midi out/in ports? Thanks.
@rafailakis I have a "9 to 5"... but music is my life. I make time for it whenever I can... even if that means late nights. You gotta follow what you love :)
@KidKulit nice man..because i wanted to ask you how did you learn to produce music with these machines?i study economics and i want to produce music for dj sets and stuff and i dont know if i should attend seminars for these machines or to be self-teached..
@rafailakis People learn differently. Some people read the manuals. Some people like a more hands-on, trial-and-error approach. Some people learn better when someone is showing them one-on-one or in a small group. I've used all of these methods over the course of many years. I just like learning new things and trying new things. For example, right now I'm teaching myself how to circuit bend old toys. If you really want to learn something, you'll find a way that works for you. Good luck!
U could also loop the output of effects devices like kp3 back by splitting it, if u want to isolate what u do on the kp3 to feed it back through ur setup. Ur mixer(s) will determine ur routing flexibility. And lots of wires.
Routing is going to be based on what u have and how u want the sounds manipulated. The minikp and kp3 r ur primary effects so u might want them near the end, while kaosspro or keyboard near beginning. Thats just one simple setup.
@Maestroshnitzel hey man thanks! I don't have this in MP3 format... yet... but I can probs get one to you... send me a message and I'll see what I can do :) thanks again!
Quick question here, how do you route everything through the kp3? do you have like the xr-20 going to the L-input and the korg to the R? Also when you bought it were the cords included?
@rhcplanc In this particular video, I am routing the microkorg and the XR-20 to the KP3 via a Belkin Rockstar headphone splitter. I'm using 1/8 cables (with 1/4 adapters wherever necessary) to use the splitter as makeshift cheap ass mixer. I have since acquired a small behringer mixer as the number of instruments I route to my KP3 has increased. But it's a cheap dirty effective solution if you're on a budget. No cables came with anything. I needed to buy them separately. Hope that info helps!
@skcgraphic thanks! I am by no means a pro of any sort. I'm really just starting out myself. I wanted a micron for a long time. Now I want a miniAK (seeing as they are pretty much identical)
im a beginner at all of this, just got my microkorg and am getting my Xr-20 shipped, i was going to buy a mini kp, but after seeing this im wondering if i should just save up for the kp3. what do you suggest getting first(what is more versatile and worth the money)
@BRBGOING2MOON I started with a mini KP just to be able to experiment with FX and because I got a decent deal on it secondhand. When I was able to afford one, I upgraded to a KP3 and it is my favourite and most used piece of gear in my studio. Worth every penny :)
Great Ideas!! Im So stuck in using my KP3 as an effects unit I completely disregarded its sampling power!! Nice demo! What Video Cam are you using? Zoom Q3?
@kerzwhile thanks for the kind words! i actually use the KP3 primarily for sampling and FX is secondary. that's the beauty of the machine -- people use it differently, but all uses are great! I'm only using the iSight from my MacBook Pro... not too shabby ;)
im buying the Kaoss pad 3 on Amazon but it doesn't tell me if it comes with all the cords to connect all this stuff together :S

@BleedingChestWounds For this particular video, I'm not using any software. All the music is being created live from the hardware you see and recorded using only photobooth on a MacBook Pro. But when I'm working on sound outside of live performance, Logic is my go to DAW.

I'm pretty to synths, I just got a microkorg for my birthday last august and I was wondering, can you hook the mk up to the kp3 and record loops/samples? Is that what you're doing in this video? Any help would be greatly appreciated
Iulzwhat 1 year ago
@Iulzwhat yes you can do that. you just need the proper cables (1/4" to RCA). good luck!

Hi man, nice track!
I got a question.. How do you connect microkorg and xr20 in the same kp3? Do you put xr 20 into input RCA and microkorg in MIC? Thanks, bless
MrMinerulez 1 year ago
@MrMinerulez thanks! I'm using a Belkin Rockstar Multi-Headphone Splitter as a kind of mini-mixer to get the microKORG + XR-20 to the RCA input at the same time. Search youtube for "jetdaisuke - Belkin RockStar Multi Headphone Splitter" video for more info on how this is done.

How did you connect the xr20 to the micrKorg?
biigbeet 1 year ago
@biigbeet The XR-20 is not connected to the microKORG. Instead, both the XR-20 and the microKORG are connected to the KP3... which is recording and looping from the drum machine and the synth.

moneygreens 1 year ago
@moneygreens My suggestion? Borrow\rent an XR-20 and sample all the sounds you want into your gear of choice (ie. your favourite sampler or DAW).
KidKulit 1 year ago
can you load sounds into the xr20
moneygreens 1 year ago
@moneygreens Unfortunately, no. The XR-20 is not a traditional MPC. You can only use the sounds that are pre-programmed into the machine. But there are quite a few of them to choose from and they can be edited slightly within the unit.

@Marvin427 wow! thanks man :) I really appreciate that
KidKulit 1 year ago
@KidKulit Yeah, it sounds absolutely amazing. I'd love your opinion on something though. I'm in a deathcore band, and now we want to be more post-hardcore sounding. like Attack Attack, Asking Alexandria, Underoath, The Devil Wears Prada, etc. I play guitar, and I was also going to get a Korg MicroKorg, since I already know piano anyways. I also thought about getting a Kaoss Pad, and the KP3 seems amazing, but idk if I can afford it :/ Should I go with the mini, or just wait?
Marvin427 1 year ago
@Marvin427 Well, the effects available on the miniKP and the KP3 are identical - they both sound great. The main difference here is that the KP3 is also capable of sampling (either by way of live phrase recording aka looping... or by loading samples from an SD memory card). If you want to be able to sample, I would suggest waiting until you can afford the KP3. If you just want to be able to apply effects to your existing sound, the miniKP is an inexpensive but fantastic choice. Hope that helped!
KidKulit 1 year ago
@KidKulit I think I got what you're saying. Do you think one would be easier than the other for use live?
and I also found a Korg KP2 used for about $100. Same price as the Korg Mini.
I don't know too much about it, but I think it might be a good choice. I don't suppose you know anything about the KP2 do you?
Marvin427 1 year ago
@Marvin427 In terms of live use, either would do just fine I think. The miniKP can run on batteries alone, where the KP3 needs to be plugged in, so keep that in mind. If you found a KP2 for $100 I'd say get it to start with. That's a great deal and a cheap way to experiment and see if a Kaoss Pad will work for your purposes. The KP2 can also sample, but there are only 2 sample pads and no SD card slot. It's still an excellent choice esp. at that price. Good luck!
KidKulit 1 year ago
@KidKulit Thank-you, thank-you! I really appreciate all the info(:
I just ordered my MicroKorg a few minutes ago. It's my christmas present :D
I'll probablly get the KP2 and see how that goes. If I don't like it, the Kaoss pads seem to have a great resale value, so i can always try something else.
And keep making great videos!

Fantastic vid man well done great track , i use the kp2 kp3 and the microkorg at the moment am considering the xr 20 too ,can you loop within the xr 20 and quantise the drum pattern prior to recording onto kp3? ps this is the best vid i have seen yet with people with similar setups hats off , and big ups...Ols
Radiolobe 1 year ago
@Radiolobe yes you can pre-program quantized drum patterns on the xr-20 prior to recording into the KP3. I haven't gotten that far with the machine yet. I recently acquired an EMX-1 that I've been using primarily for drum patterns now. so there's a possibility I'll be getting rid of the XR-20. Not yet though, too many great sounds!

dannyboyog 1 year ago
@dannyboyog if I had bought all my gear brand new:
microKORG = $400, KP3 = $400, XR-20 = $310
plus 13% HST tax equals roughly $1255 (CDN)
however, I bought my gear secondhand...
so it cost me $790 (CDN) total for these 3 units

@KidKulit nice man..because i wanted to ask you how did you learn to produce music with these machines?i study economics and i want to produce music for dj sets and stuff and i dont know if i should attend seminars for these machines or to be self-teached..
rafailakis 1 year ago
@rafailakis People learn differently. Some people read the manuals. Some people like a more hands-on, trial-and-error approach. Some people learn better when someone is showing them one-on-one or in a small group. I've used all of these methods over the course of many years. I just like learning new things and trying new things. For example, right now I'm teaching myself how to circuit bend old toys. If you really want to learn something, you'll find a way that works for you. Good luck!

U could also loop the output of effects devices like kp3 back by splitting it, if u want to isolate what u do on the kp3 to feed it back through ur setup. Ur mixer(s) will determine ur routing flexibility. And lots of wires.
SlicerJen 1 year ago
Routing is going to be based on what u have and how u want the sounds manipulated. The minikp and kp3 r ur primary effects so u might want them near the end, while kaosspro or keyboard near beginning. Thats just one simple setup.

KidKulit 1 year ago
Quick question here, how do you route everything through the kp3? do you have like the xr-20 going to the L-input and the korg to the R? Also when you bought it were the cords included?
rhcplanc 1 year ago
@rhcplanc In this particular video, I am routing the microkorg and the XR-20 to the KP3 via a Belkin Rockstar headphone splitter. I'm using 1/8 cables (with 1/4 adapters wherever necessary) to use the splitter as makeshift cheap ass mixer. I have since acquired a small behringer mixer as the number of instruments I route to my KP3 has increased. But it's a cheap dirty effective solution if you're on a budget. No cables came with anything. I needed to buy them separately. Hope that info helps!

im a beginner at all of this, just got my microkorg and am getting my Xr-20 shipped, i was going to buy a mini kp, but after seeing this im wondering if i should just save up for the kp3. what do you suggest getting first(what is more versatile and worth the money)
BRBGOING2MOON 1 year ago
@BRBGOING2MOON I started with a mini KP just to be able to experiment with FX and because I got a decent deal on it secondhand. When I was able to afford one, I upgraded to a KP3 and it is my favourite and most used piece of gear in my studio. Worth every penny :)
KidKulit 1 year ago
@KidKulit Thank you so much, i just got a 16 channel mixer(for free woot) can i run the kp3 thru that to my speakers like my xr 20 and microkorg?.

@kerzwhile thanks for the kind words! i actually use the KP3 primarily for sampling and FX is secondary. that's the beauty of the machine -- people use it differently, but all uses are great! I'm only using the iSight from my MacBook Pro... not too shabby ;)
