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.
