Custom Korg MKP2s Eurorack Module

Posted on by

These really are one of the most useful modules you can have in your rack. With Filters, Modulation, LFOs, Delays, Reverbs, Phasers, Flangers, Loopers, Vocoders, Sampling, Recording and even a couple of synth’s, there is something for everyone and anytime you need it. Now add some CV control and welcome to your next ‘desert island’ module!  Specs of the original manufacturer’s product HERE.

You know these are special when they even build guitars with them built in.  http://www.musicradar.com/reviews/guitars/ibanez-rgkp6-612982

This particular conversion used the owner’s artwork to add that custom touch. He also wanted ALL of the possible CV control, so his MKP2s is the most voltage controlled conversion I have made so far!

If you know how much I like the Korg MKP2s then you would think it just would be a matter of time before I would get around to euromodding a Kaossilator!  I honestly do not know what took me soooo long.  I guess I thought I would not need a dedicated phrase synth in my eurorack.  But after playing with it for only a few minutes I found the acoustic instruments very pleasing and flexible to use.  I thought having CV control over the play function would be great and keeping it fairly small at 20HP would work too.

Korg enters Euro-world, well kind of;)

How much fun is this?  Take a new Korg Mini KaossPad 2 and customize it to fit a eurorack modular.  I hope Korg is watching, because they could easily double the price of their current offering just by adding a couple of necessities and putting it behind a panel.  I added attenuation knobs of the incoming left and right channels and then added an amp to both outgoing channels to boost it to modular levels.  I also added a latching switch to the mic input, so you can use it as an effective 3rd channel in.  Using the hold feature is like setting two pots instantly, so fellow wigglers that kinda changes the game as far as immediate performance of your effects in euroland:) Before you write this off as cheesy, look at the list of features this little guy has and compare it to any of your current eurorack modules.
