KORG MINI KAOSS Pad 2
Play tracks from the MiniKP2's microSD card or an external 1/8" source -- then swipe the touchpad and ribbon to apply 100 FX, from filter sweeps to stutters.
A Powerful Effects Processor That Fits In Your Pocket!
Since the introduction of the Kaoss series in 1999, Korg has been perking up ears and turning heads with its novel and intuitive series of performance-ready effects processors. Korg continues the tradition with a very compact unit -- the Korg MINIKP2 miniKAOSS Pad 2. It's a truly pocket-sized, battery-powered effects processor. User input is provided by a two-dimensional touchpad which lets you manipulate and warp your effect parameters in real time. A microSD/SDHC card slot is provided, from which you can play samples, loops, or even whole tracks, applying effects via the touchpad as you go.
