Two Fingers. Total Control.
Take expressive performance further with new dual-touch operation. Move two parameters at once to build evolving textures – filter with delay, pitch with reverb, modulation with feedback, or any combination the program allows. Each gesture introduces new movement and sound-shaping possibilities.

Connected for Any Workflow
KAOSS PAD V integrates smoothly into today’s studio, stage, and streaming environments.
Use the MIC, LINE, and USB inputs simultaneously to blend vocals, instruments, and computer audio in a single setup. The balanced mic preamp delivers clean vocal input, while the dedicated Hi-Z jack lets you plug guitars and basses directly into the unit without extra hardware.

Vocal KAOSS
KAOSS PAD V’s new Voice FX engine brings creative vocal processing to performances and production. Add harmonies, vocoder layers, pitch-morphed tones, and other expressive vocal textures in real time. You can also control external MIDI gear using your voice, opening entirely new ways to perform.

A Guitar Powerhouse
A dedicated high-impedance input makes it easy to connect an electric guitar or bass directly with no additional hardware required.
