I have to say it again that you are the Best because you are Talented, Lucid, Honest and this is literally a preview, I couldn't find any details about this Korg which I almost bought because it was looking like something for the Live Acts. But Quality of Build is maybe the most important thing to know. Everything is Bad Gear and it depends on us what and how we will use, handle and make it look and it's looked like potential for improvisation and playing hours of existing Music. Maybe it's possible because impossible can be done but Marketing is Hype EPP . Economic Propaganda Program. It would be easier if they have said for who is this Made. FX unit but can do some stretching and puzzling Way of using it is too much 😂 but if I have bought it I would try to get most out of it. Bad Gear is the Best. Life is Beautiful no matter what we choose.

[@McHale72]

@@AudioPilz The MPX-8 is actually a decent piece of gear with limited functionality. I use it in my band when live for sample playback.

[@BlasphemousButler]

Fully warranted as well. As a KP3 lover, all they had to do to sell me one was make the loop time 60 secs (instead on 12.9), add some cool new FX, trade in RCAs for 1/4 inch, and maybe find a way to stack FX. Just call it the KP4 and charge $500. The simplicity is what makes Kaoss pads great. Seems like they forgot that. There was never any reason to go up against the SP-404 and MPC series. This reaks of c-level executives with no music making experience trying to force profits.

[@PhilanderingBastard]

@@BlasphemousButler it’s even more insane since the NTS-3, which goes for 1/7th the price can stack 4 effects.

[@AaronAlso]

@BlasphemousButler Yeah, I agree. I would have liked something like the nu:tekt NTS-3 Khaos Pad in the old school KP form factor with better sampling/looping features. The open source nature of the NTS-3 FX engine is a great feature that will make it useful for many years. I think a better targeted market would have been the 1010music box series. They could have made a Khaos Box of sorts and scored a solid foot hold in the market.

​@@StatetrooperBillyBillsp404 mkii is an odd machine. it is much loved but i find it very unintuitive compared to most Roland gear. and so many hidden functions its ridiculous. im keeping it for now as my sampling needs are pretty basic and it also makes a good FX box and battery powered is convenient.

[@croay]

@@StatetrooperBillyBill You're mixing apples and oranges, both devices have really different workflows. That being said MPC at this point is a fancy but nerfed DAW inside a big box. Some people find it charming tho.

[@rorz999]

​@@djangofett4879 I'm totally with you on the 404. Trying to learn and remember everything it can do is a nightmare. But I'm keeping mine for now as it is my favourite sampler to actually sample stuff into (due to its portability, sampling over USB, and skipback), and because of the FX

I love my KP3 just for an X/Y MIDI controller with cool flashing lights, but it's not good, and nobody was asking for a new one. And then Korg shows up with this crazy thing that totally has the vibe of an unlocked Switch or MAME box running some sketchy OS...

[@AudioPilz]

That's true!!!

[@RaquelFoster]

To be fair the DJ mode looks a lot better than the DJ mode in the SP-404MK2 😂

[@RaquelFoster]

But seriously if you wanted a standalone DJ device you're so much better off getting a Mixstream Pro or Denon Prime Go/2/4 or just DJ with Algoriddim on your phone and use a cheap DJ controller.

[@vjspectron]

A new one with better sound, better MIDI chaining and clocking that does what the KP3 does would definitely be worth asking for, especially if it had a better UI for loading samples. It's a great glue-box for live performance! This thing just tried to stretch that concept in too many directions and we got a frankensampler.

[@funkingitup1805]

The real question is, "Is it worth $299 when they start to dump the inventory?"

As with another recent upload of yours, I am tempted to say that replay is one of those models that conserve to help me overcome GAS.

But yes I do think Volcas have made some cash. Even I have the bassline albeit a very generous partner bought me it as a Xmas present when they first came out.

My Berlin Superbooth kalimba meme!!! Now I know how it feels. This is your best video ever! ;)

[@AudioPilz]

Thank you for that one!!!

[@EannaButler]

Wow, yeah.... Korg - find the innovators again, like you did a decade+ ago. Don't lose your way. We need a decent Japanese Roland-offsetter! "I am the Upsetter!" Lee Scratch Perry...

[@alfonsodiaz6235]

Damn, that final summarization ripped Korg a new one. Tell us how you really feel, Florian. LMAO! Not a techno guy but that last track kicked like a mule - solid!

[@AudioPilz]

Thank you!!!

Came so close to purchasing one of these last week. As a 2x KP3+ owner/lover, I want this to be so much better.

[@AudioPilz]

Maybe at least wait for another firmware update…

I had a Kaossilator Pro back in the day, and...um....it was certainly a thing. Wish I hadn't, but I did. Live and learn.

[@AudioPilz]

Get an RK002 by Retrokits for the Kaossilator;)

[@unclemick-synths]

The Kaoss we actually asked for they're making us build ourselves! 😱 MPC 3 and 404 mkII totally blow away this joke of a product. My wallet says 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣 Great video as ever BTW👍

The hardware does tick all the boxes to become a real top-notch effects machine… but yes #Korg has to reflect, rethink and (re)build a ‘second’ software version / device mode for it, that’s focused on what one should expect from a Kaoss Pad type of device. An advanced FX-processor and Looper for live performances. Also the sequencer should be aimed at serving complex effects, more like an Elektron (Analog) Heat +FX but with a step sequencer including parameter locking and envelop followers. The Octatrack is also used for these kind of purposes, but this Kaoss Pad could have it all right from the start… no workarounds needed.

[@AudioPilz]

True that!

[@maikvanrossum]

@@AudioPilz yes, at this point I really don’t understand ProdDev and BizDev at #Korg… trying to position a device -based on it’s software features- in the same ballpark as an #MPCOne or #SP404mk2, but double the price. Of course they can keep on trying, but with a separate ‘device mode’ purely for FX and FX automation (MIDI and/or Envelope Follower) would give it a real USP.
