Korg KAOSS PAD V Effects Unit

The Korg KAOSS PAD V is the most advanced and performance ready KAOSS PAD to date. Reimagined for modern creators, it combines a redesigned touch interface, expanded effects, and flexible connectivity into a powerful real time sound manipulation tool. Designed for vocalists, guitarists, producers, DJs, and live performers, KAOSS PAD V turns every movement into expressive musical control.

Dual Touch Performance Control

KAOSS PAD V introduces dual touch operation, allowing you to control two parameters at the same time. Shape evolving textures by combining effects such as filter and delay, pitch and reverb, or modulation with feedback. Every gesture creates dynamic movement, making performances feel alive and responsive.

Built for Studio, Stage, and Streaming

With mic, line, and USB inputs all available at once, KAOSS PAD V fits easily into any setup. Blend vocals, instruments, and computer audio without complicated routing. The balanced microphone preamp delivers clean vocal sound, while the dedicated Hi Z input allows guitars and basses to connect directly with no additional hardware required.

The built in USB audio interface makes recording, processing, and livestreaming simple. Capture performances in your DAW, run effects during streams, or monitor through headphones with reliable and low noise performance thanks to a redesigned power circuit and updated audio path.

Creative Vocal Processing with Vocal KAOSS

The new Voice FX engine opens up expressive vocal effects in real time. Add harmonies, vocoder layers, pitch shifting, and morphing textures during performance or production.

A Powerful Effects Tool for Guitar and Bass

The high impedance input makes KAOSS PAD V a versatile guitar and bass processor. Create ambient swells, rhythmic modulation, glitch effects, and expansive reverb textures using simple fingertip movements on the touch pad.

Sampling, Looping, and Live Remixing

Capture ideas instantly with built in sampling and looping tools. Sample up to eight bars depending on tempo, overdub layers in real time, and maintain tight loop accuracy during playback. BPM synced Step Hold keeps everything locked to the groove, while multiple playback and slicing modes encourage creative rearrangement.

Classic KAOSS Effects with Modern Control

KAOSS PAD V includes a curated collection of effects from previous KAOSS PAD generations, including filters, delays, reverbs, modulation, and voice processing. These iconic sounds are enhanced with modern processing power for today’s creative demands.

Customise your Workflow

Use the onboard editing tools to fine tune effects, adjust pad LED colours, modify effect depth, and save custom presets directly to the device. KAOSS PAD V adapts to your workflow and performance style.

An Evolution of the KAOSS Experience

More than an effects unit, KAOSS PAD V behaves like an expressive instrument. It blends tactile interaction, deep control, and creative flexibility, making it an essential tool for performers and producers looking to shape sound in real time.
