Korg shared this official overview of their NTS-3 Kaoss Pad.
The NTS-3 Kaoss Pad is an effects unit that combines the classic Kaoss X/Y pad touch interface and effects with the ability to load custom effects, created with the open-source logueSDK.

Check it out and share your thoughts on the NTS-3 in the comments!
unfortunately it basically requires you to be connected to a computer to use it properly, since the editing interface is only available as a PC/Mac app
however, when it is connected, its super awesome and way better than any kind of VST plugin like this
Looking at the manual, it describes extensive editing right on the unit.
I’m not sure I understand you. It appears the editing interface is on the unit.
What a fascinating device, and pretty reasonably priced considering everything that it can do.
I think the comment about it being great for guitars is to catch the attention of guitarists who are a pedal-centric crowd (generally). People may have a bias that this is for synths or sending a mix through, or live sound manipulation, and might not think of it as a worthy FX unit for reverb, delay, filter fx, etc.
go ahead and try to edit the unit with the interface, see what happens
instead of reading about someone else doing it, or dreaming about your theories of editing it… try actually doing it yourself before you make comments about doing it
This is not true it’s just easier with a computer.
Just to understand the logic of this comment, you rather want to code C++ on a 6-digit display over just connecting a computer with the logue sdk software?
“great for guitars” wtf? guitars?!?!?!
yawn, wake me if Prologue II arrives guys.
Using this one as a midi controller would be nice
does it really need to be that cheap?
a better build quality & bigger display sure wouldn’t hurt.
100% agree.
What I’d rather see is something like the KP3, but with studio quality effects and multi-engine support.
The NTS-3 seems like a big step forward in supporting the multi-engine, but two steps back in technical capabilities and the performance interface.
I’m glad Korg included a MIDI implementation chart. But the specs don’t mention anything about frequency response, bit-depth, sample-rate, etc, I’m guessing if it was 24-bit 96K, they’d have wanted to brag about that. No news is bad news, in this case.
But still, it’ might sound nicer than the specs would indicate.
wen Korg MicroKorg 2 review?
