Independent shopping perspective

The Korena take

KAOSS Pad V is a touch-controlled effects processor that treats effect changes as part of the performance. Dual-touch mode can move two parameters at once, so changes such as pitch with reverb or filter with delay can happen from the touch surface. The Voice FX engine adds harmonies, vocoder and pitch processing for vocals, rap and speech, while real-time sampling and looping support BPM-synced playback. It accepts mic or guitar through its 1/4-inch TRS input, with stereo RCA line I/O, USB Type-B, MIDI and headphones covering recording, playback and performance connections. There are 200 preset programs and 100 user locations.
