Following the launch of his latest album release, Olympia, Korg caught up with Roxy Music legend Bryan Ferry, who has been getting to grips with the Kaoss Pad 3.
Bryan told us “ I first used one on my last album Dyanlesque, a collection of Bob Dylan songs. One of the tracks we were working on was ‘If Not For You’, which had previously been covered by numerous musicians....George Harrison's version being particularly noteworthy.
I remember at the time thinking that the track was missing something, so I suggested trying out a Kaoss Pad. We put the bass and drums through a filter setting and recorded the output of a few passes. It created a really nice mood for the track.” The Kaoss Pad 3 looks set to become a permanent fixture. When asked if it will continue to be used on future projects Bryan told us “ The Pad has it's own corner in my studio...so yes!”.
