Moved from Laptop performances to using hardware onstage so I wanted something affordable and useful...
This is it!
I use the sounds in my productions now, very usable kicks, claps, Hi-hats, and snares!
The MIDI plug is for output only. You must use the USB-D plug to trigger notes from your PC/tablet/phone.
None of the control knobs or buttons will produce any MIDI output, only just the 4 pads and 2 foot pedals themselves.
The USB-D plug can both send and receive, but again, the only MIDI signal it responds to is 0x99 (NOTE_ON).
You can indeed trigger the KTMP1 internal sounds from an Android smartphone, but ONLY for the 5 notes that are currently configured onto the 4 pads plus pedal. And unfortunately, the only way to choose those 5 notes is to manually press the up/down "SELECT" buttons on the unit.
The 0x99 (NOTE_ON) signal DOES include the velocity volume, but there is no aftertouch, breathing, reverb, or any other parameters either transmitted or received by the KTMP1. Refer to the last page of the 10-page User Manual for a complete "MIDI Implementation Chart". It's not super obvious, but it does spell out that NOTE_ON is the only MIDI capability that KTMP1 can send and receive.
Also, be aware that the unit HAS NO MEMORY, so every time you turn it on you have to press buttons several dozen times just to get it going with the sounds you prefer. And if you don't use it for about 5 minutes, the unit automatically shuts off and loses all your settings! Then you have to stop everything and press several dozen button presses all over again, to get the sounds setup again. ENORMOUS PAIN, every time you sit down and turn it on. MIDI control change messages have no effect, so you have to enter your entire sound configuration manually by hand every time you turn it on just to get started.
If all your samples and drum sounds are already working on your computer, tablet, or smartphone, then the KTMP1 can trigger those sounds with a simple NOTE_ON message through either USB or MIDI-to-USB cable. Nothing more.
I keep it next to my desk as a fidget spinner toy. Nifty hand drum for background riffing throughout the day.
I purchased this to use as a midi interface with a SR-16 drum machine so that I could play the parts while recording. I'm not a drummer so I usually play one part, maybe two, at a time. It worked perfectly with that using the midi out from this into the SR-16. That being said, I really like some of the drum sounds right out of this thing. For my needs, I pretty much have stopped using the SR-16 and just use the built in sounds of the KAT.
As other's have mentioned, the downside is that there is no recall function. I usually leave the pads assigned to the same sounds, so it's not that big of a deal. When I do change them, I have written down the settings so moving back is not time consuming. This works for home recording. If you're trying to switch live, it will be more challenging. At that point, I'd recommend using the midi into another device, and switching scenes on the secondary device. I will probably never use this live, but that's what I'd do if I had to use more than 4 sounds.
***I am using this for surf/rock drums. I'm not a drummer and don't use complicated drum parts. A better drummer could probably get way more out of this, but for what I need, this works perfectly.
I really want it to work, because I will use it for drum recording, but sorry. if you want to use it for something else and a computer with usb2(might work), this is perfect.
