I'm having a blast with my Korg Kaoss Pad KP3. I have it hooked up as an effect unit for one of my synthesizers and besides using it for effects and adding a little bit more oomph to my synth, it also has a sampler function so I can record and loop my riffs without having to record and sequence in my DAW. It's really easy and intuitive to use as well. Only complaint is that the quality of the sound output is not professional level. I don't know the technical specs or what the sample rate or bit depth the out put is, but it definitely isn't 24 bit 44khz or above.

It's essentially a simple little box, but its ease of use and the sheer flexibility it imbues to whatever gear it's paired with makes it a radically powerful game changer. It's an amazingly competent and easy to use looper with a lot of potential for live remix applications, plus it features some onboard drums, lots of excellent effects, synthesized pad, bass or lead sounds, plus the ability to grab a loop and slice parts out of that sound as it plays. I usually pair the KP3+ to my Machinedrum UW, allowing me to fit an entire 2-hour live set of lush dub techno into a single backpack, travel to a venue, then set up in mere minutes. The looping functions grab samples perfectly from the Machinedrum and loop them immediately, allowing for seamless transitions between songs as well as the ability to grab specific parts of multiple tracks and combine them on the spot. A mere 20 or so original tracks can thus become an ever-evolving night of non-stop original music and visually appealing live performance. My favorite drum fills, effects and pads are easily accessed via the 8 programmable buttons above the touchpad, and the build quality is pretty good, too. The best thing I can convey about this unit is that it really becomes a part of whatever it's paired with - to the extent that using it becomes a seamless, intuitive and instinct-driven experience. You hardly notice it after a while - you merely revel in the newfound creative freedom it's given you. Before long, you're giving your audience 110%, every time, creating beautiful and unexpected new songs from bits and pieces of your own pre-existing material and the KP3's wonderful on-board effects.Read full review

Great for adding spice and fun to your live performances! I'm hip-hop / house music based, but I'm sure this box can find utility in any genre / live setup šš¾
