zazen Posted December 30, 2007 Report Share Posted December 30, 2007 (edited) I was at a friend's house and they had a Korg Kaoss Pad KP3 I guess these are old hat to a lot of people, but I hadn't used one before and it was a lot of fun. So before I cave in and buy one, I'm wondering: - is there a software equivalent (like an emulation of a kaoss pad) - are there any decent but similar alternative gadgets?

Guest Vegeta897 Posted December 30, 2007 Report Share Posted December 30, 2007 Mini KP if you're looking for cheaper? Quote Link to comment https://forum.watmm.com/topic/29471-kaoss-pad/#findComment-623530 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hoodie Posted December 30, 2007 Report Share Posted December 30, 2007 the mini kp sucks though. it's really not comparable. you could get a kp2, they're selling cheap and it's basically the same thing with fewer effects.

Guest Vegeta897 Posted December 31, 2007 Report Share Posted December 31, 2007 (edited) The mini KP is basically the same thing with fewer effects. Just depends on budget. Lots of effects - KP3 - $400 Fewer effects - KP2 - $300 Even fewer effects - miniKP - $200 Edited December 31, 2007 by Vegeta897 Quote Link to comment https://forum.watmm.com/topic/29471-kaoss-pad/#findComment-623635 Share on other sites More sharing options...
zazen Posted December 31, 2007 Author Report Share Posted December 31, 2007 true, but only the kp3 has the onboard sampler, and that was one of my favorite bits. Also the kp2 and mini do not have the LEDs under the touchpad The Kaoss pad has been around since 1999 so I was wondering if anyone else has made a similar or related device?

pylonbitch Posted December 31, 2007 Report Share Posted December 31, 2007 just get a basic midi keyboard/input device with an xy pad. then assign vsts to your heart's content. or get a kaoss pad. they go pretty cheap on ebay.

I believe the kp2 does have a sampler as well, but it can only hold two active samples instead of four.

KP3 are incredibly fun and unique as far as I know, If you get one, get the kp3 the sampler is really nice and easy to get breaks from your computer... I love mine and use it quite often.

ten fingers ten toes Posted January 1, 2008 Report Share Posted January 1, 2008 There's a DS add-on my wife just ordered that has an accelerometer + gyroscope in it, and there's an open API for it so I might be writing an X/Y tilt midi app for it sometime soon.
