Korg - A brand with innovative power

For decades, the Japanese manufacturer Korg has been synonymous with musical innovation and revolutionary products in the field of electronic instruments and effects devices. The first KAOSS pad was released in 1999 and set new standards with its touch-sensitive control. The combination of effects processor and performative interface has inspired an entire generation of music makers - and with the KAOSS Pad V, Korg continues this tradition. Designed for modern production and performance environments, this device takes the characteristic features of the KAOSS series to a new technological level.

Technical details of the Korg KAOSS Pad V - What's inside the new performance tool

The KAOSS Pad V is no ordinary effects processor - it's an expressive instrument that transforms your gestures into sound in real time. At its heart is the new dual-touch interface, which enables simultaneous control of two effect parameters. For example, filter and delay or pitch and reverb can be controlled simultaneously - intuitively, fluently and with maximum expressiveness.

The connection options have been significantly expanded compared to previous models: with balanced microphone input, Hi-Z guitar input, line inputs and an integrated USB audio interface, the KAOSS Pad V is ready for any setup - whether in the studio, on stage or for streaming. It can also be perfectly integrated into existing hardware environments via MIDI IN/OUT.

With 270 programs (including 170 presets and 100 user slots), the device offers an enormous variety of effects. These include classic KAOSS effects such as filters, reverbs, modulations and delays, as well as modern vocal processors that transform your voice into harmonies, robotic voices or exciting sound textures.

Of particular interest to guitarists: the special Hi-Z input allows direct connection of an electric guitar or bass - without the need for an additional preamp or DI box. This allows you to create ambient sounds, modulation effects and rhythmic patterns live with your finger.

A highlight for live performers is the integrated sampling and looping function. You can record up to 8 bars, add overdubs in real time and create creative arrangements thanks to tempo-synchronized slicing. The gate hold function ensures rhythmic precision.

The KAOSS Pad V is also individual when it comes to sound design: effect depths, LED colors and control behavior can be adjusted via browser-based editor software - including custom presets for your personal workflow.

The combination of high sound quality, versatile connectivity and performative control makes the KAOSS Pad V the ideal tool for anyone who wants to experiment with sound - whether in the studio or on stage.
