    Korg KAOSS PAD V Performance Effects and Sampler

    The legendary touch-pad effects unit is back, now with more processing power than ever before. Have you ever wanted to physically mold your music like clay?

    The Korg KAOSS PAD V Performance Effects and Sampler is your new sonic sandbox. More than just an effects unit, it's a dynamic instrument that reacts instantly to your every swipe, tap, and slide. Forget tedious menu-diving — just drop your fingers onto the pad and start sculpting evolving textures, rhythmic glitches, and lush soundscapes in real time.

    Korg KAOSS PAD V Two Fingers, Infinite Inspiration

    Two Fingers, Infinite Inspiration

    The KPV introduces a reimagined dual-touch interface that multiplies your musical manipulation. You can effortlessly push, pull, and twist two parameters simultaneously, turning a simple synth line or drum loop into a chaotic masterpiece or a serene swell. It’s pure tactile magic, allowing you to blend contemporary processing power with the iconic sound-shaping that made the KAOSS series legendary.

    • Dual-Touch Dominance: Move two parameters at once to build complex, evolving textures — filter with delay, or pitch with reverb — putting total control quite literally at your fingertips.
    • Generations of Effects: Dive into a curated collection of classic and modern KAOSS effects, giving you an absolute arsenal of delays, reverbs, modulation, and filters ready for instant action.
    • Custom Sound Sculpting: Tweak effect depth, adjust pad-LED colors, and save your custom presets directly on the device, ensuring your signature sound is always queued up and ready to rock.

    Your Creative Command Center

    Integrating outboard gear shouldn't require an advanced degree in signal flow. The KPV slides seamlessly into your existing rig, acting as the ultimate creative hub for stage and studio alike. Its robust I/O section lets you blend vocals, instruments, and computer audio simultaneously, creating a unified setup that just works. It's the perfect bridge between your analog hardware and your digital audio workstation.

    • Dedicated Hi-Z Input: Plug your electric guitar or bass directly into the unit without needing a DI box, immediately unlocking ambient swells, rhythmic modulation, and time-based glitches.
    • Simultaneous Multi-Tracking: Run the balanced MIC preamp, LINE, and USB inputs at the exact same time to blend distinct audio sources into one cohesive, colossal mix.
    • Integrated USB Audio Interface: Record, process, and stream your sound effortlessly into your DAW with a clean, low-noise audio path that keeps routing simple and incredibly reliable.

    Korg KAOSS PAD V Loop, Layer and Vocalize

    Loop, Layer, and Vocalize

    Your voice and your timing are your two most powerful tools, and the KPV respects both immensely. Packed with a brand-new Voice FX engine and expanded sampling capabilities, this pad pushes your performance way past the standard echo and chorus. You can build entire tracks from scratch, layer upon layer, manipulating every element as you go.

    • Next-Gen Voice FX Engine: Add rich harmonies, thick vocoder layers, and pitch-morphed tones in real time, or even control external MIDI gear using nothing but your vocal cords.
    • Eight-Bar Sampling: Capture your ideas instantly by sampling up to 8 bars of audio, overdubbing layers on the fly to build evolving, hypnotic patterns.
    • BPM-Synced Step Hold: Maintain loop position accuracy and stay completely locked to the groove during playback, using multiple slicing modes for wild, creative rearrangement.

    The Ultimate Performance Playground

    The Korg KAOSS PAD KPV is the ultimate collision of intuitive design and serious sonic firepower. It's more than a processor; it's an expressive instrument that merges tactile interaction with deep creative flexibility.
