Korg Kaoss Pad 3 £315

The Kaoss Pad has been a firm favourite since 1999, and the third version is the best one yet

The KP3 has even more to offer than its predecessors.

Manufacturer's description

Korg’s KAOSS technology has been embraced by DJs, musicians and producers alike. No other interface is as intuitive, immediate or just plain fun to use. By simply touching, tapping or sliding your finger over the touchpad, the all-new KP3 allows you to control multiple effects parameters and manipulate samples in real time. On stage or in the studio, these gestures and moves can become powerful and expressive performance elements. More than a processor, the KP3 is a complete instrument allowing you to manage, recall, and play back samples; sample on the fly; and add dynamic processing to any audio signal or to the samples themselves.

Pros

Excellent screen and control surface. Cool new programs. Great performance features.

Cons

We'd like more sample time. And more sample triggers.

The bottom line

The KP3 is great fun, delivers great results and is really easy to use. Can’t say fairer than that.
