Frequently Asked Questions

No, the KR Mini lacks MIDI or USB connectivity for direct DAW integration; it's designed for standalone use.
It allows you to link multiple patterns together to create longer sequences, essentially building a song structure from individual rhythmic sections.
The rubber pads are adequate for casual use, but heavy-handed or aggressive playing might accelerate wear and tear over time.
