KAOSS Pad V Dynamic Effect / Sampler

Korg KAOSS Pad V

Building on the foundation laid by previous KAOSS pads, the Korg KAOSS Pad V is dynamic effects and performance instrument, now with audio and MIDI interface capabilities, reimagined effects, and powerful sampling and vocal processing engines. Like the KAOSS Pads of yore, the KAOSS Pad V includes a plethora of different filters, delays, reverbs, beat slicing, vocal processing, and modulation effects, all of which can be affected in real-time using the XY pad. Explore a vast world of effect options with 300 available preset slots in total, 200 of which are new and classic KAOSS Pad effects, reimagined and revamped for the modern era. The remaining 100 presets are available as user-presets, which can be edited and saved directly on the KAOSS Pad V for instant recall. Modulate your effects with an expanded dimension of control using simultaneous X and Y gesturing, allowing for dual-finger control for even more intuitive expression.

The KAOSS Pad V is an all-in-one audio processing powerhouse for performers, producers and streamers. Highly adaptive to your personal workflow, the KAOSS Pad V can be used as a standalone audio interface, equipped with the ability to run multiple input sources simultaneously via the RCA line in, Hi-Z 1/4", or even USB audio. This in combination with the versatile effects section make it an excellent command center for all audio processing in your larger set-up. The reimagined vocal processing engine is Korg's best sounding and most versatile yet, providing a spectrum of harmony, vocoder, and timbral effects for elevating your voice. Translate your incoming vocals into MIDI data in real time using the onboard vocal processor, allowing you to control your external effects in truly unique ways.

Sample and loop your sounds on the fly using the internal sampling engine, which provides intuitive beat slicing and BPM-synced Step Hold effects to create rhythmic excitement in the moment without ever losing the groove. Easily record overdubs in real time to create complex, layered loops in an instant. Maintain the loop position accuracy every time during playback, and sample up to eight bars (dependent on tempo) while keeping each loop perfectly locked to the beat. The KAOSS Pad V is Korg's most versatile, expressive, and powerful KAOSS Pad yet, offering an unmatched level of audio processing for performers, DJs, vocalists, and streamers alike.
