Well another Christmas has come and gone and I find myself left in the wake of a tsunami of socks and underwear. Aside from the comfy new sweaters and NY Jets gear, I wanted to write about a cool gadget that I was lucky enough to find under the tree.
It’s called the Korg KAOSS Pad mini-KP . This device lets you apply dynamic effects to your MP3’s and it is really fun to use!
Basically you can hook up your MP3 player right to the mini-KP and you use the touch pad to slide, tap and hold your way through 100 different effects. To demo just a handful of the effect I remixed a Santa Cruz by Fatboy Slim below.
Now that I am getting into the art of digital DJing, I am glad that this tool is now in my growing arsenal of controllers and effects processors.
