How 2 get more Program MEMORY from Kaoss Pad by MIDI message

Post by angrymonkey2 » Sat Nov 13, 2010 7:42 pm

I need more than 10 program memory presets on my Kaoss Pad. How do I get that to happen? Can I do it by triggering a clip or some sorta midi button to send system exclusive data to the Kaoss Pad from Live?

I already have the Kaoss pad synced to live for tempo based LFO's and other FX but itd be sweet if we could figure this out!

Thanks for your time and help in advance.

Does it let you switch through them via Bank Select?

If you create a MIDI clip in Ableton Live and set the clip's "Bank" number to a specific number, then route that midi channel to go into the Kaoss Pad, does triggering the clip change your preset on the Kaoss Pad?

i don't remeber which way i tested but kp3 for sure transmits or receives program change messages. so if it worked one way, it should work two ways (documentation shows that it sends/and transmists program changes).
