A Free Beatbox Plug-in, with Interactive KAOSS Pad KP3 Control
There’s a special love among certain Ableton Live users for the Korg KAOSS Pad KP3, Korg’s lovely and capable sampling/effects box. Al, aka DJ Chinkial (see his trippy MySpace page) has a free VST for free as a holiday gift to us all (Windows-only). The basic idea: make a beatbox plug-in for your computer, using the KP3 as outboard controller, complete with visual feedback. (If you don’t have a KP3, you can use any controller, minus the blinkie lights – monome hack, anyone?)
The results are very wonderful: the KP3 becomes a synth drum machine. The only problem: some bugs may yet need to be ironed out, as the plug-in eats some CPU resources and this is a first version.
I don’t have a KP3 to try out that aspect myself, so if you grab it, let us know how it goes. (Your mileage may vary.)

the info u posted is on one of my first attempts at a vst version of my reaktor beatbox live machine
kaoss64 is a 16 step 64 part sequencer
that triggers the slices of two bar
loops like a sort of rex file player for wavsoh and if you’d like to try it out
it would work with any old midi controller just wont have the visual interactionx position is cc10
y position is cc24
pad trig is cc25 but thats just used for visualsthe abcd buttons are the lowest register keys on a keyboard
cheers again and have a good christmas and new year al.
