2012 NAMM Show: Yesterday, Korg introduced the new Mini Kaoss Pad 2 – a pocket-size effect processor and portable MP3 player.
Now they’ve published this official intro video for the Mini Kaoss Pad 2.
Inside the Mini Kaoss Pad 2 are 100 diverse effect programs. BPM and tempo-based effects can be set by hand, or by using tap-tempo or auto BPM detection.
The Kaoss Pad 2 also provides an MP3 player that can play audio data from a microSD card. You can save your favorite songs on a card, and apply real time effects to the song as it plays.
Details on the Mini Koss Pad 2 are available at the Korg site.
Be warned! The Korg Mini-KP had the bad flaw of drastically lowering your output volume. If Korg (who ignored complaints) hasn’t fixed this issue for the Mini-KP 2, there is NO REASON to buy it.
I was going to leave as a comment: I wonder if there still is a volume loss…. but Brian Foster was already on it… lol I bet they must’ve heard a lot about it and hopefully it’s the first thing they fixed
I had bought this unit, but volume drop is an seriously issue for me, especially connecting to DJM SND/RTN. I hope Korg will fix it shortly !
