Chain Rhythm Patterns

KRmini s Chain function lets you arrange patterns to create complete songs. Jump from one pattern to another, add fill-ins, and specify the loop end location as well as the number of playback repetitions

Finger Drumming

At the push of a button, the 16 pads double up as playable drum pads. All of the sounds of the KR mini are available in this mode, and you can finger drum on a whim. The pads are velocity sensitive letting you create dynamic drum phrases.
Although finger drumming has typically been done using a PC-based system with samplers and MIDI controllers, the KRmini, with its built-in speaker and battery-powered operation means that now you can enjoy performing on the street, outdoors, or anywhere you may be inspired

In a performance environment, you ll be able to smoothly control the KRmini while continuously playing your instrument. The KR mini also has a headphone/speaker output, so you can connect it to your PAsystem. Use it with a guitar amp or compact multi-channel PAto create a simple setup for live performance
