NAMM WINTER SESSION, ANAHEIM, CA, January
15, 2004 — Following the success of its KAOSS
PAD Dynamic Effect/Controller, Korg is showing the KAOSS
PAD entrancer at this Winter NAMM Show. This unique hybrid
controller brings real-time, fingertip control over visual
effects for the first time, while retaining the same audio
effect processing and sampling as the KAOSS PAD. It’s
ideal for the VJ, DJ, club, or electronica artist looking
for cutting edge video and audio manipulation during live
performance.
The KAOSS PAD entrancer provides real-time
control over digital effects processing for both audio and
video sources, either together or separately. Users move
their finger along the X/Y pad to control the way in which
effects are applied. This touch (or sweep) of a finger allows
a multitude of parameters to be manipulated, for easy synchronization
of the video and the audio while creating advanced audio
and video effects changes. These capabilities provide more
intuitive control over real-time visual effects than the
current range of VJ software and hardware available in the
market.
A library of 100 video effects programs is
provided for control over the user’s video material.
It offers basic effects such as fade, wipe, color change,
freeze, flip, rotate, and expand/shrink, and more sophisticated
effects such as stretch, split-screen, invert image components,
mirroring, and emboss. Audio signals are processed with
the same 100 effects found in the second-generation KAOSS
PAD. Audio and video can be processed at the same time by
using the 100 specially designed Combination programs. The
user can also sample audio (up to 12 seconds) and video
(up to 6 seconds) independently, then save the images/samples
for playback, or apply effects to them.
The KAOSS PAD entrancer accepts two video
signals (composite or S-Video) and stereo audio input, with
the ability to switch between the two video inputs. It has
MIDI In and Out for controlling other devices and for playback
of sequencing pad movements. Other features include:
· Auto BPM and Tap Tempo control
· Mute/Freeze switch
· Eight “favorites” buttons for instant
access to effects programs
· Audio and Video sample playback from the pad for
scratching effects
· RCA audio inputs/outputs
The compact KAOSS PAD entrancer measures 9.45"(W)
x 9.69"(D) x 2.64"(H). It is currently available
with a U.S. MSRP of $1,100.
