Korg KAOSS Pad V Dynamic Effect Sampler

Reimagined Touch Interface - The Korg KAOSS PAD V Touch Effects Processor and Sampler

KAOSS PAD returns with a reimagined touch interface, expanded effects, and a workflow built for modern creators. With dual-touch performance, a next-generation Voice FX engine, and flexible connectivity, KAOSS PAD V gives vocalists, guitarists, producers, and performers a responsive tool for real-time sound manipulation. It reacts instantly to every gesture, turning touch into expressive, musical control for the stage, studio, and streaming setups.

• Dual-touch control for two-parameter performance and evolving textures
• Next-generation Voice FX engine for harmonies, vocoder layers, and pitch-morphed vocal tones
• Hi-Z guitar/bass input for direct connection with no additional hardware required
• Integrated USB audio interface for recording, processing, and streaming workflows
• Use MIC, LINE, and USB inputs at the same time to blend multiple sources
• Expanded sampling and looping: record, overdub, and build performance-ready loops
• 300 programs total (200 preset + 100 user) with onboard saving and program editing
• Curated library of classic and modern KAOSS effects across generations
• BPM-synced performance tools including Step Hold to stay locked to the groove
• Customizable pad-LED colors and program behavior to match your workflow
• Sample up to 8 bars (dependent on tempo)
• Overdub layers in real time
• Maintain loop position accuracy during playback
• BPM-synced Step Hold for groove-locked performance
• Multiple playback and slicing modes for creative rearrangement

Perform like it’s an instrument: run filters into delays, pitch into reverb, modulation into feedback—then move both at once with the new dual-touch operation. Route vocals, instruments, and computer audio together with simple, reliable routing, and take your sound further with the updated audio path and power circuit designed for stable, low-noise performance. From vocal transformations to ambient guitar swells to tempo-locked remixing, KAOSS PAD V is built to keep up with creative ideas in real time.
