Kaoss

Retronyms, makers of iPhone applications Recorder and FourTrack, have released DopplerPad (App Store link), a live performance music production application for the iPhone and iPod touch inspired by the Korg Kaossillator, Yamaha Tenori-on and DJ mixers.

Synthesizers, samplers and drum pads are combined in the app to create an intuitive, portable instrument.

DopplerPad’s interface imitates the standard DJ setup of a mixer with turntables on either side, but replaces the turntables with music-producing touchpads. The app launches to the mixer, where the user can access the two touchpads, playback controls, a crossfader and a loop bank that stores up to 14 loops.

DopplerPad is $9.99 in the iTunes App Store. Details below. Read more…

With one hundred effects programs, a “PROGRAM MEMORY” key for quick save and instant recall of your favorite programs, an “FX RELEASE” function that keeps delay and reverb tails intact through preset changes, and a “KAOSS” button for assigning the KAOSS PAD to each channel, the new KM-402 is designed for DJs wanting to incorporate effects into their performance.
