Korg Kaoss Pad V (KPV) Multi-Effects Touch Controller

Korg Kaoss Pad V (KPV) Dynamic Effects Processor & Sampler

The Korg Kaoss Pad V brings a new generation of expressive touch-controlled effects to modern performers and producers. Built around the iconic XY touchpad interface, the Kaoss Pad V allows users to manipulate effects in real time simply by moving their fingers across the pad, turning sound design into an intuitive performance tool.

A major innovation in the Kaoss Pad V is its dual-touch capability, allowing two fingers to control multiple parameters simultaneously. This makes it possible to blend effects such as filters, delays, pitch shifting, and modulation together in complex evolving textures. With hundreds of built-in effect programs and user-customisable presets, the KPV offers enormous creative flexibility for DJs, electronic musicians, vocalists, and instrumentalists.

Sampling, Looping, Overdub & more

Designed for modern production and performance workflows, the Kaoss Pad V also includes a powerful sampling and looping engine. Users can capture loops up to 8 bars long, overdub layers in real time, and rearrange or slice loops for creative remixing. The unit also features a dedicated Voice FX engine for vocal harmonies, robotic effects, and pitch processing, making it a powerful live vocal processor.

Connectivity is equally flexible. The Kaoss Pad V includes microphone, line, and high-impedance guitar inputs so it can process vocals, instruments, or DJ mixes. A built-in USB audio interface enables easy recording and integration with DAWs and streaming setups, while MIDI connectivity allows synchronisation with external hardware and software.
