Korg KAOSS Replay

The KAOSS Pad from KORG made its mark on the DJ scene like no other device shortly after its market launch, as it was the first to offer high-quality performance effects via an intuitively controllable X/Y touchpad. Already in its second generation, it was expanded to include a simple sampling function, and today it can look back on a whole series of successful successors that are appreciated by DJs, producers and live musicians from all over the world.

The KAOSS Replay takes up this legendary legacy and expands it with a surprisingly powerful pad sampler that has it all: 128 sample slots are available per project, which can be filled with loops, one-shots or even complete songs. These slots can be accessed via 16 velocity-sensitive sample pads equipped with colored LEDs, which in turn are organized in 8 banks. Each pad can be assigned to one of two group faders, allowing you to create complete DJ sets with seamless transitions in no time at all. Samples can be recorded via the audio input, the integrated microphone input or - via resampling - directly from the current performance and then trimmed and edited via the colorful 5" OLED touch display. Thanks to its integrated audio interface, the KAOSS Replay also enables direct sampling from the computer as well as digital recordings of live performances in a DAW. Finished stems, loops or songs can be easily transferred to the KAOSS Replay via USB, and automatic BPM analysis can even be performed simultaneously if desired. There are also up to 12 hot cue points available per pad, which can be used to instantly access specific points within a sample or track. Of course, other typical DJ functions such as tap/auto BPM, sync, quantize and variable pitch are also available.

The touch display can also be used to control the 128 internal performance effects, which offer KAOSS classics such as filters, delays, reverbs and looper effects as well as exotic effects such as vinyl stop and pitch effects for a connected microphone. The 12 personal favorite effects can be called up at any time at the touch of a button. Using the "Pad Motion" function, the effects can be easily automated if desired or locked with a press of the "Touch Hold" button. Despite its compact dimensions, the KAOSS Replay is a fully equipped DJ setup that can be used to create hours of varied stand-alone performances. And as it is powered via USB-C, nothing stands in the way of unlimited mobile use with the help of a standard power bank (not included). The robust yet elegantly designed aluminum housing ensures that the KAOSS Replay can withstand even the toughest stage use undamaged.
