The new KAOSS PAD that fits in your pocket --- the mini-KP, offering touch-pad effects for all types of music.
Main Features
Intuitive touch-pad interface gives you fingertip effect control in real-time.
The smallest body in the KAOSS PAD series.
Battery operation and a carrying strap make it an ideal choice for any scene.
One hundred effects including filter, delay, and looper meet the needs of any musical style.
Numerous BPM effects are provided. You can use the “TAP/BPM
button” to synchronize the mini-KP to your song's tempo, and
apply a wide range of effects to your music.
“FX RELEASE” function provides a natural decay when changing effects or removing your finger from the pad.
Hold function lets you memorize the position at which you touched the touch-pad when you release your finger.
Use
the two memory keys A and B to store your favorite effect program
settings, including the effect depth and the Hold on/off status.
Since
it first appeared, the KAOSS PAD series has been enormously popular
with artists around the world for its intuitive touch-pad interface and
its revolutionary effect programs. And now, the series is joined by its
smallest member, the mini-KP. While providing the same interface in
which multiple parameters of the effect program are controlled by a
single fingertip, the mini-KP brings the advantages of battery
operation and mobility, making it an ideal choice for DJ club
performances, home studio applications, as well as outdoor live events
or for use with a portable audio player. Wherever you are, the mini-KP
brings new possibilities to any music scene.
Use the touch-pad to control the effects in realtime
The
KAOSS PAD series lets you control the effect entirely from the
touch-pad in realtime. Different effect parameters are assigned to the
X-axis and Y-axis of the touch-pad and can be controlled
simultaneously, meaning that you can vary the delay time and the
feedback at the same time, or simultaneously change the cutoff and
resonance of a filter. This means that complex effect operations that
otherwise would require two hands on a conventional knob-based
controller can be performed easily and intuitively with just one hand.
It's also easy to apply complex effects by rubbing or tapping the pad
with your fingertip as though you were playing a musical instrument.
A small size allows use in a variety of situations
The
mini-KP features the smallest body in the KAOSS PAD series. It can be
operated on batteries, and provides a strap attachment hole for easy
portability. This means that you can now use the KAOSS PAD series'
unique and intuitive one-finger operation with a wide range of
instruments or sound sources, in an even greater variety of situations.
Here are some examples.
- DJ practice at home, or DJ performance in a club
- Performance with synthesizers or other instruments (indoor or outdoor)
-
Listening to your portable audio player, or using your portable audio
player to rehearse a DJ mix for a party (indoor or outdoor)
One hundred effects covering a variety of musical styles
The
mini-KP contains a total of one hundred effects, many derived from the
larger KP3, including filter, delay, and a looper, covering a wide
range of musical styles. There's a “low/high-band pass
filter” that lets you cut specific frequency ranges of sound to
add variety to a song, a “decimator” that intentionally
degrades the audio quality of the input to give unique impact to the
sound, a much-requested "delay & reverb" combination effect, a
“looper & pitch shifter” that captures and repeats
incoming audio, retuning it in real-time as the pad is manipulated ,
synth sounds derived from the KP3--- and many more effects that can
dramatically transform the sound.
“BPM effects,” and a “FX RELEASE” function for natural-sounding effect transitions within a song
You
can use the “TAP/BPM button” to detect the BPM (tempo) and
synchronize the mini-KP to an audio input source, and then take
advantage of the many BPM effects that are synchronized to your song or
performance --- an excellent way to use effects. There's also an
“FX RELEASE” function that lets the effect sound decay
gradually when you remove your finger from the pad or change effects.
This makes it easy to blend the mini-KP's effects into your
performances and songs.*1
*1: Some effect programs do not support the “FX RELEASE” function.
“Hold”
function lets you fix the effect settings at a given moment, and memory
keys that remember your favorite settings
When
you're touching the pad to apply an effect, you can use the
“Hold” function to “freeze” the effect settings
at any desired point. There's also a Memory Key function that lets you
memorize the selected effect program, the Hold function on/off status,
and the effect depth. This lets you store your favorite effect settings
for instant recall anytime, so you can boldly use effects to transform
the character of your songs or performances.
