Korg KAOSS Pad V Dynamic Effect Sampler with Dual-Touch XY Pad Voice-to-MIDI Real-Time Looping USB Audio Interface Mic Line Hi-Z Inputs and MIDI I/O

The Korg KAOSS Pad V is a hands-on effects processor and sampler built for live performance, studio work, and streaming setups. With dual-touch XY control, voice-to-MIDI capability, real-time looping, and broad connectivity, it offers direct control over sound shaping without slowing down your workflow.

Dual-Touch XY Pad Control

The XY pad supports two-finger control, allowing you to adjust two effect parameters at the same time. This makes it easy to create evolving textures such as filter and delay or pitch and reverb in a single motion. The result is more expressive control with fewer steps during performance.

Voice-to-MIDI and Vocal Processing

Voice-to-MIDI converts vocal pitch into MIDI data, letting you control synths and MIDI gear using your voice. Built-in vocal effects such as harmonies, vocoder, and pitch morphing allow you to shape vocals for both creative and performance use without external processors.

Real-Time Sampling and Looping

KAOSS Pad V supports real-time sampling with overdubs and BPM-synced playback. You can capture loops up to 8 bars depending on tempo and maintain timing accuracy during playback. Step Hold locks effects or samples to BPM, helping loops stay aligned with your track.

Flexible Inputs for Any Sound Source

Mic, line, and Hi-Z inputs allow direct connection of vocals, instruments, and line-level gear. The dedicated Hi-Z input supports electric guitar and bass without extra hardware, making the unit suitable for compact live or home setups.

USB Audio and MIDI Integration

The built-in USB audio interface allows direct recording and streaming to a computer. Standard 5-pin MIDI I/O supports connection to legacy and modern MIDI devices. This makes the KAOSS Pad V easy to integrate into DAWs, hardware rigs, and hybrid setups.

Presets and Expandable Storage

The unit includes 300 onboard presets, with 200 factory presets and 100 user slots. Custom sounds can be saved internally or expanded using SD or SDHC cards up to 32GB, providing room for extended sampling and preset management.

Customizable Performance Setup

Users can edit effects, adjust parameters, and save personalized programs directly on the device. Pad LED colors and control behavior can be customized to match individual workflows, improving visibility and control during live use.
