A 13-Year Wait Ends: Korg Kaoss Pad V Features Multi-Touch Control
Korg announces the Kaoss Pad V, the first mainline update in 13 years, featuring simultaneous two-finger multi-touch and a new voice engine.
The wait is finally over for gear heads. Korg just dropped the Kaoss Pad V, marking the first major update to the iconic mainline effect unit since 2013. While it keeps the classic performance-focused soul, this version brings the hardware into the modern era with significant tech upgrades.
Korg Kaoss Pad V: Multi-Touch Innovation
According to The Verge, the standout feature of the Kaoss Pad V is its ability to recognize 2 fingers simultaneously. This isn't just about more points; it allows artists to control two distinct effect parameters or even two entirely different effects at once, opening up a new dimension of live manipulation.
New Voice Effects and Hardware Refinement
Korg's also integrated a dedicated voice effects engine, catering to the growing number of vocal-heavy electronic performers. The tactile X/Y pad remains the centerpiece, but with enhanced sensitivity and processing power. Pricing is currently listed as TBD, though it's expected to follow the premium positioning of the previous KP3+ series.
