Korg

Korg has released the Kaoss Pad V, the first major upgrade to its touch-based effects unit in 13 years, since the launch of the KP3+ in 2013. The Kaoss Pad V builds upon the core idea of an effect unit with an X/Y pad for controlling parameters in a natural, performance-focused way. The new model introduces a significant innovation, allowing it to recognize two fingers simultaneously, enabling control of two distinct sets of parameters or even two entirely different effects. This upgrade enhances the unit's functionality and creativity possibilities. The Kaoss Pad V also features a dedicated voice effects engine, further expanding its capabilities. As a leading manufacturer of electronic musical instruments, Korg's update to the Kaoss Pad series is significant for the music technology industry, particularly for musicians and producers who rely on the unit's unique performance capabilities. The Kaoss Pad V is expected to have a notable impact on the market, given its enhanced features and the loyal following of the Kaoss Pad series.
