appeared, the KAOSS PAD series has been enormously popular with artists around the world for its intuitive touch-pad interface and its revolutionary effect programs. And now, the series is joined by its smallest member, the Korg mini-KP.

Wherever you are, the mini-KP brings new possibilities to any music scene. The new KAOSS PAD that fits in your pocket --- the mini-KP, offering touch-pad effects for all types of music. Main Features Intuitive touch-pad interface gives you fingertip effect control in real-time. The smallest body in the KAOSS PAD series. Battery operation and a carrying strap make it an ideal choice for any scene. One hundred effects including filter, delay, and looper meet the needs of any musical style. Numerous BPM effects are provided. You can use the "TAP/BPM button" to synchronize the mini-KP to your song's tempo, and apply a wide range of effects to your music. "FX RELEASE" function provides a natural decay when changing effects or removing your finger from the pad. Hold function lets you memorize the position at which you touched the touch-pad when you release your finger. Use the two memory keys A and B to store your favourite effect program settings, including the effect depth and the Hold on/off status. Use the touch-pad to control the effects in realtime The KAOSS PAD series lets you control the effect entirely from the touch-pad in realtime. Different effect parameters are assigned to the X-axis and Y-axis of the touch-pad and can be controlled simultaneously, meaning that you can vary the delay time and the feedback at the same time, or simultaneously change the cutoff and resonance of a filter. This means that complex effect operations that otherwise would require two hands on a conventional knob-based controller can be performed easily and intuitively with just one hand. It's also easy to apply complex effects by rubbing or tapping the pad with your fingertip as though you were playing a musical instrument. A small size allows use in a variety of situations The mini-KP features the smallest body in the KAOSS PAD series. It can be operated on batteries, and provides a strap attachment hole for easy portability. This means that you can now use the KAOSS PAD series' unique and intuitive one-finger operation with a wide range of instruments or sound sources, in an even greater variety of situations. Here are some examples. DJ practice at home, or DJ performance in a club Performance with synthesizers or other instruments (indoor or outdoor) Listening to your portable audio player, or using your portable audio player to rehearse a DJ mix for a party (indoor or outdoor) One hundred effects covering a variety of musical styles The mini-KP contains a total of one hundred effects, many derived from the larger KP3, including filter, delay, and a looper, covering a wide range of musical styles. There's a "low/high-band pass filter" that lets you cut specific frequency ranges of sound to add variety to a song, a "decimator" that intentionally degrades the audio quality of the input to give unique impact to the sound, a much-requested "delay & reverb" combination effect, a "looper & pitch shifter" that captures and repeats incoming audio, retuning it in real-time as the pad is manipulated , synth sounds derived from the KP3--- and many more effects that can dramatically transform the sound. "BPM effects," and a "FX RELEASE" function for natural-sounding effect tr

The kp3 is an amazing piece of kit. 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!
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 box of wonders one bit. It plays a big part in my setup both live and in the studio. ...
