Korg Kaoss Pad 2 KP2 Dynamic Effect Processor and Sampler.

The revolutionary, original Kaoss Pad provided "playable" effects for any type of audio source, including records, CD, samplers, or keyboards. Now, the KP2 expands on the original with more effects (100 total), BPM functionality that syncs the effects to BPM automatically, to MIDI clock or Tapped tempo, and an incredible Sampling function. The KP2 can control effects just as if you were playing a musical instrument, and it offers new possibilities for DJ mixing, sound processing, and live performance. The new Pad Motion function lets you record and reproduce complex finger movements on the touch pad. Highly original effect sounds can be played back instantly. Other new features include MIDI In/Out and the pad even changes color according to your finger position.

The Touch of Your Finger
The concept of the KAOSS Pad is brilliantly simple — as you move your finger around the pad you are controlling many sophisticated aspects of a powerful effects processor. Move your finger left to right and you control certain aspects of the sound. Move it up and down and you control other parameters. Make an arc and you bring in even more changes. All you need to do is glide across or tap on the pad to make evocative changes to your mix, producing a level of complexity that would be impossible to achieve with any other system or controller.

100 Killer Effect Programs
The KP2 is packed with essential effects like filters, delays, reverb, and flanging, along with cutting-edge DJ effects like isolator, slicer, and auto-panning. Select effect programs by turning a knob and assign up to 8 in the program memory buttons for instant recall. A Hold switch lets you freeze an effect in its current position, making it easy to capture a perfect setting or to rhythmically change the sound by drumming on the pad.

More Groove with Synths and Vocoders
Not only does the KP2 come with amazing effects, it also is loaded with 15 super-cool synth sounds including analog synth programs and ethereal ambiance-type sounds. Use the pad to play and manipulate the sounds for some truly unique creations. We've even included 5 vocoder programs that are great for MC or vocal processing.
