Korg mini KP Kaoss Pad

The miniKP from Korg is a portable effects processor that utilizes a "touch-screen" pad to control various aspects of the unit's operation. Moving a finger left to right across the pad controls certain aspects of the sound. Moving it up and down controls other set of parameters.

Since different effect parameters are assigned to the X-axis and Y-axis of the touch-pad, the user is able to control multiple parameters at the same time, for example varying the delay time and the feedback simultaneously, a function that in conventional processors would require two-handed operation. It's also easy to apply complex effects by rubbing or tapping the pad with a fingertip.

The mini-KP provides battery operation and mobility for the DJ, while its portability makes it perfect for outdoor live events, or for use with a portable audio player. The unit is equally suited for home studio applications, containing one hundred effects including filter, delay and a looper, all covering a wide range of musical styles.

The main features of the Korg miniKP include:

• Intuitive touch-pad interface gives you fingertip effect control in real-time.
