Korg Kaoss Pad

Description

The KAOSS PAD puts realtime effect processing at your fingertips for any type of audio source, including records, CD, samplers, or effect pedals. Control Effects Freely With The X-Y Pad: On the KAOSS PAD, the way in which the effect is applied can be controlled completely by the X-Y pad. Since the X-Y pad lets you control separate parameters in the horizontal and vertical directions, you can do things like simultaneously controlling the delay time and the feedback of a delay line, or simultaneously modifying the cutoff and resonance of a filter --- complex operations that would be cumbersome with sliders or knobs. The X-Y pad can also be scraped or tapped (struck lightly) to control the effect sound,letting you produce switch-type effects that are impossible with knobs or sliders. Sixty Versatile Effect Programs: The numerous effects include spatial-type effects such as delay, reverb and pitch shifter; filters to process the sound; and modulation-type effects such as flanger, phaser and pan. Sampling Function: You can use the KAOSS PAD to sample an external audio source (for a maximum of 5 seconds at 48 kHz) and then control that sound from the pad. The sampled source can be modified using a variety of effects such as time stretch, reverse playback, and pitch change --- an ideal way to create sound material for further sampling or to integrate sampled effects into your live act. By connecting a contact mic to the MIC IN jack, you can apply the internal effects to your signal or even sample your input--- and use the X-Y pad to freely control the results. The KAOSS PAD is a powerful addition to any noise setup.
