KORG KAOSS PAD V - The Touch of True Evolution

Next-generation expressive touch effects unit

The legendary KAOSS PAD returns — reborn for a new generation of creators. The KAOSS PAD V introduces dual-touch control, expanded voice effects, and studio-grade connectivity, empowering vocalists, guitarists, producers, and performers to transform sound in real time. It’s not just a processor — it’s a live instrument that reacts to every gesture, turning performance into pure expression.

Two Fingers, Infinite Control
The KAOSS PAD V’s new two-finger control mode unlocks an entirely new level of expressive power. Manipulate two parameters at once — filter and delay, pitch and reverb, modulation and feedback — with effortless precision. Every gesture brings movement, depth, and personality to your sound.

Turn your voice into a performance instrument
Powered by KORG’s next-generation Voice FX engine, the KAOSS PAD V transforms vocals, rap, and speech into dynamic sonic textures. Add harmonies, vocoder layers, or pitch-morphed tones in real time. You can even control external synths via MIDI using your voice, blurring the line between vocals and instruments.

Plug In and Play Anything
Whether you sing, play, or produce, KAOSS PAD V adapts instantly. Simultaneous MIC, LINE, and USB inputs let you blend vocals, guitars, and tracks from your DAW — all at once. With Hi-Z support for guitars, a balanced mic preamp, and a USB audio interface, you’re ready for studio sessions, livestreams, or the stage — no patching, no hassle.

Capture Ideas Instantly: Real-time sampling and looping, refined
Record, overdub, and perform loops with precision. Improved playback retains loop positions, while BPM-synced Step Hold keeps everything locked to the groove. Multiple playback modes give DJs and beatmakers the flexibility to remix and reshape sound live — without breaking the flow.

Plug straight in and explore wild textures, ambient swells, or rhythmic modulations — all controlled by your fingertips. From shimmering reverb soundscapes to glitchy time-based effects, KAOSS PAD V turns your guitar into a fully expressive instrument, opening up endless creative possibilities on stage or in the studio.
