DJ Effects Unit - Sampler

1 review | Write a review

Korgs Kaoss technology has been embraced by DJs, musicians and producers alike. No other interface is as intuitive, immediate or just plain fun to use. By simply touching, tapping...
more...or sliding your finger over the touchpad, the all-new KP3 allows you to control multiple effects parameters and manipulate samples in real time. On stage or in the studio, these gestures and moves can become powerful and expressive performance elements. More than a processor, the KP3 is a complete instrument allowing you to manage, recall, and play back samples; sample on the fly; and add dynamic processing to any audio signal or to the samples themselves. This latest KAOSS incarnation has been completely overhauled to enhance your creativity, with significant advances in every area. New effects algorithms, synth sounds derived from our RADIAS engine, bigger and better sampling plus computer connectivity all point to the fact that the KP3 is an entirely new KAOSS instrument. A new pad lighting system places 64 individual LEDs in an eight by eight grid under the pad, providing visual cues as to the current program, held position, etc. - it can even scroll a custom message across the pad!

The kp3 is an amazing piece of kit, for producers, DJs, live bands and more. Its touch interface is extremely beneficial as it allows you to put more feeling into the production. But the downside to this is the pad is easily marked and needs regular cleaning with a dry cloth, but this is hardly a price to pay!

The sampling is very easy as the sampling speed is altered according to the bpm which makes everything much easier.

One downside is that you can only apply the effects to everything and not one sample bank at a time.

Another upside is the updates you can download from korg.com, they offer new features and bug fixing.

One thing I would recommend is: DON'T BUY THIS FOR USE ON ITS OWN! its not very good at creating music on its own, it has built in presets but they arent as good as the kp2's.

I do not regret paying out for this little box of wonders one bit. It plays a big part in my setup both live and in the studio.
