Korg - Kaoss Pad V

With the KAOSS PAD V, Korg offers a touch interface capable of controlling filters, delays and spatial effects simultaneously. This precision makes each manipulation more expressive and allows you to intervene on several parameters without interrupting the creative flow. As a result, performances become more dynamic and personalised, whether in the studio or on stage. The machine reacts instantly to gestures, offering an almost organic feel that brings the user closer to sound and rhythm in a highly intuitive way.

The new-generation Voice FX engine transforms the voice into rich, varied sound textures. You can create harmonies, apply vocoders or generate live transposed effects. Kaoss Pad 5 also lets you control external synthesizers via MIDI, expanding the creative palette so that the voice becomes an instrument in its own right, capable of merging with other audio sources in a totally modular sound universe.

Korg has integrated a full USB audio interface and mic, line and high-impedance inputs, allowing you to mix guitars, vocals and digital tracks without complexity. The balanced mic preamp guarantees a clear, stable sound, while the high-impedance input can be used directly for electric guitars. Every connection becomes instantly operational, making it easy to stream, record or take to the stage, while delivering accurate, reliable sound for every creative configuration.

Real-time sampling and looping open up new creative possibilities. Loops can be captured, superimposed and modulated with perfect rhythmic precision. Different playback modes give performers and DJs the chance to reshape the sound live, while maintaining fluidity and consistency with the tempo, for performances that never fail to surprise.

You can customise your effects to your heart's content using the built-in editor. You can adjust each parameter, create unique variations and save presets directly in Kaoss Pad 5. This flexibility allows you to create your own world of sound, where each gesture subtly modifies the final result. The instrument becomes a natural extension of the user's creativity, offering freedom and spontaneity in every musical session.

The Kaoss series is represented by a precise choice of iconic effects adapted to this generation. The Kaoss Pad V brings together these legendary sounds while incorporating modern processing to explore new ambiences. Thanks to its intuitive design, the device guides the manipulation of effects while retaining the lively, immersive character that has made the brand's reputation since its first versions.
