is that built on the midibox platform?

I've also owned a KP3.. but sold it after 3 months!
I love the xy idea.. but they need to make it more powerful for $400. Midi out would be amazing.. but for some reason they're holding back!

Hmmm... I have def used an older KP2's XY pad as a midi controller before. I'm sure the KP3 has that capability.

"With its central profusion of arcade buttons, the Midibox promises satisfaction: this is an electronic musical instrument to be pounded like a 6-button fighter. Built around a PIC microcontroller—a low cost computer chip backed by a vast library of applications—it has 16 knobs, 5 faders, 32 MIDI controlled LED buttons, and 16 arcade buttons."

Got one of 'em in the cupboard, don't work but I'll swap it for a Mt Eden t-shirt

wish i had the funds to buy Max/Msp

if you can't afford max/msp why not look into pureData, the only real disadvantage with pureData is that it doesn't incorporate into ableton, which if you don't use it isn't an issue.

i've got that on my computer but haven't spend nearly enough time with learning to program it. i did see a couple user-submitted patches that looked pretty neat, so i might take some time today to investigate further.

are you using PD?

na i've briefly played with max for live, but it's just too deep and there's still plenty for me to learn with just producing. time is limited cos i've got a kid so concentrating on producing and max gets put on the to-do list along with a bazillion other things.
