Connections Basic connections In the example shown below, the KP3 is being used “in-line” between the audio source and the mixer inputs. In this case, effects can be applied to the incoming au- dio signal, and the incoming audio signal can be sampled. In this type of application, the CONNECTION switch on the rear panel should be set to DIRECT. The KP3 has line and mic input jacks. Use the jacks that are appropriate for your situation.

DJ mixer connections The KP3 can also be used as an external effect processor by connecting it to the ef- fect send and return jacks on a DJ (or other style) mixer. This allows the KP3 effects to be applied to any audio signal connected to the mixer. For this type of application, the CONNECTION switch on the rear panel should be set to SEND. With this setting, the output from the KP3 will con- tain only the processed signal, and will not include the original signal being sent to the KP3's input
