The Hold function allows you to take your finger off the pad, and still have the effect going as if your finger was still there. It’s
like… a ghost finger. From space.
1. Press the HOLD button to turn the Hold function on. I know, that’s confusing, but bear with us. The little red light on
the bottom-left tells you its working.
2. The mini-KP will remember the last position of your finger. You can touch different spots on the pad, and it will “re-
Hold” the new spot.
3. You can create some very cool effects by quickly tapping the pad in different spots… Try different music and programs
to find good combinations!

: When you save a program to the MEMORY A/B buttons, the Hold status (whether it’s on or off) and the
Hold position on the X/Y pad are also saved!

The mini-KP’s FX Release gives you a BPM-synced delay “tail” that gradually removes the effect when you lift your finger off the
X/Y pad. The idea is, instead of immediately cutting out of the effect and going back to the original sound, you’ll get a smooth
transition back to the unaffected version. About 75% of the mini-KP’s programs have FX release turned on by default.
1. When you turn the mini-KP on, it will briefly display either “r.On” or “r.OF” to show you whether the first program
has FX Release turned on or off. If you haven’t modified program 00 (by saving it to a MEMORY button with a new
setting), it will display “r.On.”
2. To change this, hold down MEMORY B and then press the TAP/BPM button. Again, the LED display will show either
“r.On” or “r.OF.”
3. Turn the PROGRAM/BPM/DEPTH dial to change the setting.

You can set the mini-KP to the same tempo as your incoming music, so delay and tempo-based effects will match the rhythm.
A complete listing of effects can be found in the mini-KP Owner’s Manual, with BPM effects noted.
1. While using a program, press the TAP/BPM button. It’s the biggest one of the three. It’s also plainly labeled. It
couldn’t possibly be any easier to find. If you can’t find it, you’ve got bigger problems to worry about.
2. On the LED screen, you’ll see the tempo. Tap the TAP/BPM button along with the beat of the incoming audio and it
will detect the BPM automatically!
3. Turn the PROGRAM/BPM/DEPTH dial to fine-tune the BPM.

You can store your two favorite effect programs on the MEMORY A/B buttons on the front panel, so you can get to them
quickly.
1. To save a program you like, press either MEMORY A or MEMORY B, and then hold down the HOLD button.
2. To recall the effect, just press MEMORY A or MEMORY B again.
3. Uh, that’s it. This step is only here for consistency.
