The third in the series from audio megastars 'Korg'. Primarily known for creating effects units and keyboards, korg have created a very powerful audio sampling processing unit here! Despite looking quite daunting at first....the unit is actually designed very well and is very simple to use, the main feature being the XY touch screen pad allowing users to adjust hundreds of different parameters in real time with ease! Great for producers Djs and general music makers! As stated before the unit is not just an effects unit, it also allows the user to create, save and recall samples for playback and modulation. The unit offers 128 completely ...  Read the complete review

The KP3 is the third installment from Korg in the Kaoss Pad series and it proves to combine many features into one. First and foremost it is a dynamic effects processor which can effect any audio processed through it whether it be through the RCA stereo phono input or through the quarter inch jack input where a mic can be placed.

The KP3's second function is that of a sampler. This is where you can really get creative as you can sample anything from the audio ...  Read the complete review

If you are a DJ that does the circuit you can be safe in the knowledge that your Kaoss Pad 3 will stand up to the punishment. I use my KP3 mainly in the studio and I run my Modular Synth through ...  Read the complete review

Actually the first time I saw this nice little piece of hardware was at a Massive Attack concert. So I did a little research and decided to buy one. It's an effect processor designed for DJs and singers to add that funky twist to your audio sources. Design It almost looks and feels like a piece of military hardware. It's heavier than it looks and is definitively an eye-candy on stage or at the DJ set. The rubber, back-lit buttons are giving a good feedback. Features The effects sound pretty good (but the reverbs are not my cup of tea...) and you can sample loops to the 4 loops or sample pads at the bottom of the KP3. You can also program ...  Read the complete review
