At the 2013 NAMM Show, Korg introduced the latest member of its Kaoss Pad family, the Korg KP3+ Kaoss Pad effects processor.

The KP3+ is a dynamic effects processor and sampler. It offers a total of 150 programs ? 22 more than the KP3. In addition to the 108 effects carried over from the KP3, which include filters, spatial-type effects such as delay and reverb, a grain shifter that freezes tiny pieces of sound and repeats them, and a vocoder, there are 42 new or improved effects, including effects that were developed for the Kaoss Pad Quad, such as the Looper, Vinyl Break, and Ducking Compressor.

The video above offers a looping performance demo of the new KP3+.  Continue reading →

Korg has uploaded another intro video for one of its older products, this time for the Korg Koassilator.

2012 NAMM Show: Yesterday, Korg officially introduced the Kaossilator 2 – a palm-sized synthesizer that is played via a Kaoss x/y touchpad.

Today, they released this intro video for the Kaossilator 2.

The Kaoss X-Y touchpad provides control using a single finger. Inside are 150 sounds, divided into categories for easy-access: Synth Leads, Basses, Acoustic Instruments, Chorded Sounds, SE, Drum Kits and Rhythm Patterns.

The Kaossilator 2 combines PCM drums, modeling synthesis and two crossfade-able Loop Recorder banks. The Kaossilator 2′s Dual Loop Recording Banks can overdub your touchpad performances as many times as you like. By adding layer upon layer to a simple phrase, you can create complex loops and then save them using the microSD data slot.

Details on the Kaossilator 2 are available at the Korg site.
