The Korg KAOSS Mixer
 The
perfect marriage of a next-generation KAOSS Pad and a feature-packed
DJ Mixer
The Korg KAOSS
Mixer is the ideal performance-oriented DJ mixer and combines the
KAOSS Pad’s unique “hands-on” control over effects
processing with a professional 2-channel mixer. Now the DJ can be
performer and sound sculptor thanks to the intuitive way that the
KAOSS Mixer allows you to process sound and integrate sampling into
your show.
A complete mixer
The KAOSS Mixer
features two-channel inputs, with each channel able to accept both
line and phono inputs. You can integrate turntables, CD players,
Minidisk players or even musical instruments into your setup and
switch between them with ease. Channel 1 also includes a mic’
input for use with the built-in KAOSS Pad, and, for the utmost in
flexibility, the mic’ can be used as a talkback source whenever
you need without running into the channel.
Each channel
offers source selection, a 3-band EQ, and an input trim control with
a Peak indicator. Headphone or Booth monitoring can be switched
easily from each channel and the Master output which makes cueing
source material simple. A 12-step LED indicator gives you an instant
visual reading of your signal level, and both Master and Booth
outputs are provided for connection in any club and stage setup. The
KAOSS Mixer also features an ultra-sensitive crossfader with three
crossfade curves which ensures great feel, whether you’re simply
mixing between sources or a scratching battle jock!
A special feature
of the KAOSS Mixer is Korg’s proprietary Ultra Boost technology,
which can add extra low end that’s powerful, but won’t
distort your speaker system. Add just the right amount of this
bottom-shaking enhancement to make a real impact on your audience.
A new level of KAOSS
Without a doubt,
it’s the addition of the KAOSS Pad that makes the KAOSS Mixer so
special. Its newly-designed effects/controller surface goes far
beyond anything you’ve ever tried. Eighty effects can be
selected and controlled as easily as sliding your finger across its
smooth surface. Simply draw a shape on the X/Y pad and you’re
taking control over a powerful effects processor to instantly remix
your source music.
Its 80 effects
include reverbs, delays, filters, chorus, flange, phasing,
distortion, pitch shifting, panning and even ring modulation. The
KAOSS function can be applied to whatever signal you wish, Input 1, 2
or even the Master output of the mixer. An FX/Depth knob allows you
to slowly blend in the effects depth to create gradual transitions
and custom mixes. Eight buttons are provided to store your favorite
effects for easy access, along with a rotary knob that lets you
scroll through all the onboard effects. A Hold button remembers where
you last touched the pad so you can lock-in your favorite setting.
Or, leave it off and you can turn effects on and off by tapping and
scraping the pad as the music moves you. Plus, a new X-Fade function
lets you use the X/Y pad as a super-crossfader blending between your
input sources using different effects settings for cool new possibilities.
Match that beat
A new Auto-BPM
function can analyze your incoming signal and match the tempo of the
delays etc. to your track for instant lock-up. And each channel can
remember its tempo so you can switch back and forth with locked-up
accuracy! A Tap Tempo button and 3-digit display are also included
for manual setting when needed.
Super Sampling
The KAOSS
Mixer’s improved sampling capabilities are also new. An
impressive twenty-three seconds of 44.1 kHz, 16-bit sampling is
provided, with four dedicated buttons for storing your non-volatile
samples. Samples can be triggered from these buttons even when
you’re using the pad to control other effects, and you can even
sample incoming audio through the effects – including your pad
gestures! When you want to have fun with your samples you can assign
them to the pad for scratching, loop-changing, pitch-changing and a
host of other possibilities.
