Let me say this, that I first bought this, I hardly have any real impact on the handling of MIDI or something. That made me a new set of ideas for music production, but what is there to say about the Kaoss Pad? What does it do? As some say ... who knows he knows. The three main features are as follows:
- An effects processor (with 128 effects, including a nice package of synthesizers and drum machines).
- A MIDI controller. You canuse almost any program that accepts MIDI input or MIDI signals to clear another control device to synthesize any effect or even crazy things like graphics and game controls!
- A collection. It has a 4-bank sampler, Korg powerful technology used to test things by the strike. Only around good (or sampling might say) here.
The surprising thing of all is that all this is with a square (x, y)-controlled pad. Yes, your vague memories of high school mathematicsClass is correct. This is determined by the position of the finger (or fingers) on the pad, which takes place at the right time with a beat-lock synchronization, you can touch your own pace, use Auto BPM allows to find the time to check or pace yourself manually. This will be used by pressing the button to change the effects and spinning reaches the same way. This is all beautifully illuminated with red LEDs behind the track behind the fingers in a fascinatingdisplay.
The effects processor is one of the best and most revolutionary in the industry. It includes everything from reverb and delay to filter haunting mesmerizing. He flanger, phaser, cutting mills (my favorite), tons of random modulation effects, many effects are used for all aspects of the samples in the banks and, last but not least, the change .. also vocoder! This means you can connect a microphone (or anything else really) and the pitch and tone to the pad as well! This isDJ how to reach the "robot voice" effect. This includes 12 synthesizer and drum machine drum 6. Although these are not very different, but I will get the solution for this very soon. There are many possibilities, it is extremely difficult, even bored with this selection. Alone or with a group of people that this offers a lot of fun, while still a powerful tool when used in the right hands.
What I got was that at times earlierto make the old synthesizers and drum loops, so what's the solution? Just connect to a computer! It has a USB output on it that can be easily configured using the supplied program called "KP3 Editor". This way you can control how we show how a MIDI device. With this technology you can control an infinite number of different effects, synthesizers or find something else that you can use! My personal favorite midi to use as a scratcher (with the program FL Studio 8). Yes, you can also, To use liquid scratch DJs to do! Another great feature is the SD card slot. If you have an SD card into the bottom of this sample, you can save on paper from the Kaoss Pad or computer. This means that you can pad out of the computer or Kaoss well (it actually appears as a hard drive and a MIDI controller of your computer.) In this way you never lose your favorite samples can be loaded and drum / transfer loop low or anything else, the KAOSS PAD in a fewSeconds.
The samplers can only sample from the input (microphone, instrument, Ipod, synthesizers, computers) or do "resampling" the same way for all included in the output. Resampling can take place continuously on each bank. The possibilities are unlimited effects, because you can simply continue to change and add effects to very satisfied. All you can sample and loop endlessely dynamically, or if you want to create a stroke of samples. The Beatlock keeps in sync all the loopswith everything else!
I was able to use this powerful tool as an effects processor for a synthesizer, guitar, vocals and remixes many types of music. I've had it a long time and I'd still give a 9 / 10 overall, and recommend it to anyone interested in effects or music production in general. The possibilities are endless.
