The legendary KAOSS experience enters a bold new era with the Korg KAOSS Pad V — a next-generation multi-effects processor built for modern producers, performers, DJs, and electronic musicians. Expanding far beyond the iconic XY touchpad interface that made the KAOSS series famous, the KAOSS Pad V combines expressive real-time control, advanced vocal processing, powerful looping capabilities, and seamless studio integration into one visionary performance hub.
At the heart of the KAOSS Pad V is Korg’s renowned XY touch interface, now enhanced with an innovative 2-finger control mode that allows simultaneous manipulation of multiple effect parameters. Shape filters, delays, reverbs, pitch effects, feedback, and more with fluid gestures that transform performances into dynamic sonic experiences. Whether you’re crafting subtle textures or unleashing dramatic soundscapes, the KAOSS Pad V delivers deeply tactile control with unmatched immediacy.
The onboard Voice FX engine pushes vocal creativity into entirely new territory. Inspired by decades of electronic music innovation, the KAOSS Pad V offers lush vocoder processing, layered harmonies, pitch morphing, and expressive vocal modulation tools designed for both studio production and live performance. Its standout feature is real-time pitch tracking with MIDI output, allowing your voice to directly control external synthesizers and MIDI devices — turning vocals into a fully playable instrument with limitless creative potential.
Designed for today’s hybrid music workflows, the KAOSS Pad V integrates effortlessly with hardware and software setups alike. Simultaneous Mic, Line, USB, and MIDI connectivity allow performers to unify multiple sound sources into a single expressive control center. The hi-Z capable input and built-in preamp make it equally at home with microphones, guitars, synths, drum machines, and other instruments, while its USB audio interface functionality streamlines recording and DAW integration.
Performance-focused features like real-time sampling, looping, overdubbing, and recording further elevate the KAOSS Pad V into a complete live production instrument. Rear-panel RCA outputs and USB connectivity ensure smooth integration into virtually any setup, while the front-mounted SD card slot provides quick access to saved samples, sounds, and recordings wherever inspiration strikes.
From experimental sound design and live remixing to vocal transformation and immersive electronic performance, the Korg KAOSS Pad V delivers a powerful new dimension of interactive music creation.
