Overview
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.

KAOSS PAD V integrates smoothly into today’s studio, stage, and streaming environments. Use the MIC, LINE, and USB inputs at the same time to blend vocals, instruments, and computer audio in one unified 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. For computer-based workflows, the integrated USB audio interface makes it easy to record, process, or stream your sound. Whether you’re capturing performances in a DAW, running e;ects during a livestream, or monitoring through headphones, KAOSS PAD V keeps routing simple and reliable. A newly designed power circuit and updated audio path provide stable, low-noise performance, making KAOSS PAD V equally at home on stage, in the studio, or anywhere you create.
