KORG announces its flagship KAOSS Replay, a self-contained performance tool serving as a combined solution for musicians, performers and producers. It features unparalleled KAOSS Pad and Effects, expanded sample playback and sampling capabilities, plus intuitive and precise DJ controls. It’s designed as a standalone unit which can be used without the needs for any other equipment, if so desired.
The unit is powered by USB-C and is designed to let musicians, particularly those performing live, swift setup and control with minimal distractions. It has an advanced sample and playback system, with 128 sample slots (16 pads x 8 banks) for each of up to 100 projects.
It is built in a rugged aluminium body, is sleek and minimal and is ultra-portable.
128 new KAOSS FX rang from practical filters, delays and reverbs to imaginative and exhilarating modulation effects, loopers, vocoders, and synth effects. There’s also vocal effects including correction and pitch tuning.
The XY pad offers dynamic and precise control over sounds and settings. Effects can be automated and transitions are made smoothly. The KAOSS Replay also has a dedicated microphone input to aid in sampling and performance.
Features which make this a great tool for DJs include precise beat-matching, playback quantisation, hot cues, monitoring and dual faders.
Not only does the unit have plenty of onboard functions but it can also be used as a worthy MIDI controller thanks to its flexible MIDI Surface mode. It can also function as a USB audio interface.
