Re: RE: microsynth & Space Station & KAOS Pad

[Echophazer@aol.com]

I recently bought the Korg Kaoss Pad for my setup and all I have to say is 
wow! I use synths a lot and take advantage of the midi control this thing 
allows. It goes for about $279.00 and is worth it. So far I haven't had 
any 
problems or glitches with it. I can see many uses for the effects that are 
built in for loopers. Also it has a sampling feature that holds 5 seconds 
of 
sound at 48KHz. One prob. I have with it is that the programmed effects 
can't 
be altered. This is nothing though once you get your hands on it. Run a 
skipping CD through it toss on some delay from the effects inside and use 
your favorite sound processing filters afterwards and some interesting 
sonic 
wavescapes emerge. I brought this thing to work one day with a scratched 
CD 
and a portable CD player to show the guys. One guy couldn't put it down! 
He 
has never been interested in music he said but had to go out and buy one! 
This is a very addictive controller. Even if you never buy one you should 
at 
least go ahead and play with it.
Sounding off,
Peter
