KORG KAOSS PAD V – Dynamic effects processor and sampler
KAOSS PAD is back – redesigned for a new generation of creators. With an advanced touch interface, expanded effects, and a workflow tailored for today's music makers, KAOSS PAD V gives singers, guitarists, producers, and live performers an extremely responsive tool for real-time sound manipulation.

With dual-touch control, advanced voice processing, and flexible connectivity, KAOSS PAD V responds instantly to every movement, transforming touch into musical and expressive control.

New features in KAOSS PAD V
Dual-touch control for simultaneous control of two parameters
Next-generation Voice FX engine
Hi-Z input for guitar and bass
Built-in USB audio interface
Expanded sampling and loop functions
Updated library of classic and modern KAOSS effects
Effect editing and the ability to save your own presets directly to the device
This is the most flexible and stage-ready KAOSS PAD yet.

Two fingers. Total control.
With the new dual-touch function, you can control two parameters simultaneously and create vivid, ever-changing soundscapes. Combine filter and delay, pitch and reverb, or modulation and feedback, for example—every movement brings new life and expression to the sound.

Adapted for all workflows
The KAOSS PAD V integrates seamlessly into studio, stage, and streaming environments. MIC, LINE, and USB inputs can be used simultaneously to mix vocals, instruments, and computer audio in a single setup.

The balanced microphone preamp delivers clear, noise-free audio, while the Hi-Z input allows you to connect your guitar or bass directly without additional equipment. The built-in USB audio interface simplifies recording, streaming, and playback via DAW.

Vocal KAOSS
The new Voice FX engine opens up for creative real-time voice processing. Add harmonies, vocoder effects, and pitch-based textures, or control external MIDI devices with your voice for completely new ways to perform.

A powerful tool for guitarists
The dedicated Hi-Z input makes the KAOSS PAD V an expressive effects tool for guitar and bass as well. Create ambient sweeps, rhythmic modulation, glitch effects, or vast reverb landscapes—all controlled directly with your fingertips.

Record, overdub, and loop
Sampling up to 8 bars (depending on tempo)
Real-time overdubbing
Precise loop position during playback
BPM-synced Step Hold for stable timing
Multiple playback and slice modes for creative restructuring
Perfect for remixing, live performances, and dynamic loop-based productions.

KAOSS – then, now, and beyond
KAOSS PAD V brings together iconic effects from previous generations and combines them with modern processing power. The result is an instrument-like effect tool that unites the classic KAOSS expression with today's creative needs.
