Reply to Kaoss Pad Mini Settings

Hi.

I use a kaoss mini as a send/return on my mixer when in DJing for delay.

When I use a normal kaoss pad 3 I get a clean delay sound. When I use the mini I get quite a phased sound. When it starts up it says "Dir" which I assume means Direct.

Am I doing something wrong here?

Is there a way to set up as a send and should I be doing that?

Thanks all
