Korg Kaoss Pad V

Posted on by

The Korg Kaoss Pad is back. After years of anticipation, Korg has officially unveiled the Kaoss Pad V, a reimagined version of their legendary dynamic effects processor and sampler. Designed for a new generation of creators, it bridges the gap between a studio multi-effect unit and a live performance instrument.

Here is everything you need to know about the new Korg Kaoss Pad V.

Overview

The Kaoss Pad V (KPV) retains the iconic X-Y touchpad interface that defined the series but introduces a major evolution: Dual-Touch Control. You can now use two fingers simultaneously to manipulate separate parameters—controlling filter cutoff with one finger and delay feedback with another, or pitch and reverb depth at the same time.

Beyond effects, the KPV is a comprehensive connectivity hub. It features a built-in USB Audio Interface, allowing you to record directly into your DAW or stream your performance live. It supports simultaneous use of Mic, Line, and USB inputs, making it perfect for vocalists, DJs, and guitarists (thanks to the new dedicated Hi-Z input).

With a new Voice FX engine, it can transform vocals with real-time harmonies, pitch correction, and vocoder effects. It even translates vocal audio into MIDI data to control external gear.

Key Features

  • Dual-Touch X-Y Pad: Control two different effect parameters simultaneously with multi-touch gestures.
  • Voice FX Engine: Dedicated vocal processing for harmonies, pitch morphing, and vocoders.
  • Advanced Sampling: Sample up to 8 bars (tempo-dependent) with real-time overdubbing, slicing, and BPM-synced gate/hold.
  • Guitar Ready: Dedicated Hi-Z 1/4″ input for direct connection of electric guitars or basses.
  • Audio Interface: Integrated USB audio interface for recording and streaming.
  • Simultaneous Inputs: Mix and process Mic, Line, and USB audio sources together.
