Small, easy to carry, and still loaded with crucial KAOSS effects and features.
The intuitive touchpad interface and revolutionary
effect programs of the KAOSS PAD series has made them enormously popular
worldwide and now, the series is joined by its smallest member, the
mini-KP. While providing the same interface in which multiple parameters
of the effect program are controlled by a single fingertip, the mini-KP
brings the advantages of battery operation and mobility, making it an
ideal choice for DJ club performances, home studio applications, as well
as outdoor live events or for use with a portable audio player.
Wherever you are the mini-KP brings fresh sonic possibilities.
Use the touchpad to control the effects in realtime
The KAOSS PAD series lets you control the effect entirely from the
touchpad in realtime. Different effect parameters are assigned to the
X-axis and Y-axis of the touchpad 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—smaller
than a standard CD case! 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.
100 effects covering a variety of musical styles
The mini-KP contains a total of 100 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. The looper and pitch shifter combination effect
captures and repeats incoming audio and retunes it in realtime as the
pad is manipulated, synth sounds derived from the KP3—and many more
effects that can dramatically transform the sound.
