Getting ready

Connections
Connecting your monitor amp or mixer to the output
jacks
Connect the KAOSS PAD QUAD's LINE OUT
jacks to your mixer or powered monitors (am-
plified speakers).
If you're using headphones, connect them to
the PHONES jack.
TIP
The KAOSS PAD QUAD's sound will still be out-
put from the LINE OUT jacks even if headphones are
connected.
Connecting your mic or audio source to the input
jacks
If you're using a mic, connect it to the MIC
jack.
If you want to connect a sampler or other audio
source device, connect its output jacks to the
KAOSS PAD QUAD's LINE IN jacks.
Always connect devices to your KAOSS PAD QUAD
with the power turned off. Careless operation can damage
your speaker system or cause other issues.
If you are not using a mic, turn the MIC VOLUME knob
all the way down.

Connecting the KAOSS PAD QUAD to send/return jacks
You can use the KAOSS PAD QUAD as an ex-
ternal effect unit by connecting it to the send
and return jacks of a mixer. For this connec-
tion, set the CONNECTION switch to SEND.
DIRECT: Both input and effect sounds will be
output from the KAOSS PAD QUAD. When
you are not touching the touch pad, the input
sound will be output as is. "Controlling the ef-
fect depth (p.7)"
SEND: Only the effect sound (not the input
sound) will be output from the KAOSS PAD
QUAD.
TIP
For more information on the send and return
jacks, refer to the owner's manual for the device that
you are connecting.
TIP
When you are using the KAOSS PAD QUAD as
an external effects unit, the return level may be lower
than expected. In such cases, adjust the input level
on the KAOSS PAD QUAD. "Adjusting the volume
(p.6)"
