Sampling with effects

Plug into the KP2’s audio input and sample up to six seconds of sound at 44.1 kHz. The KP2 has two sample keys for a total of twelve seconds of sampling. Run the samples through the KP2’s effects. Or you can process a sound through the effects and then sample it. Use the touch pad to apply time-stretch, reverse-playback, pitch shift, or scratch effects to the samples for unlimited creative possibilities.

Record your pad movements and transform them
The KP2 remembers your exact movements. Simply record your moves with the Pad Motion function, and you can play back complex pad movements and instantly reproduce your original effect sounds. The Mute function can be used to cut the input sound, leaving only the reverb or delay “tail,” or you can switch muting rapidly on/off in time with the rhythm (a DJ technique commonly called “transform”).

Easy operation and quick connection of
DJ sources and instruments

The KP2 is ready to be used with a variety of sound sources. PHONO IN and LINE IN connectors allow turntables, CD players and musical instruments to be connected easily. A Mic input is perfect for processing vocals or for use as a wild MC toolbox. MIDI IN and OUT connectors allow a computer-based sequencer etc. to record and playback subtle movements of the KP2's pad for flexible production and remixing possibilities. The MIDI OUT connector also lets you use the KP2 to control other synthesizers and MIDI gear opening up a new world of expressive performance gestures.

Add the dimensions of light and style

With its own light show, the KP2 generates an intrinsic sense of groove. The colors on its touch pad change according to the type of effect you’re using and the position of your finger on the pad. The new KAOSS Pad is also built to travel with a heavy-duty, die cast aluminum chassis and a bold, slim-line design.
