What are the KAOSS effects?
KAOSS is a KORG technology, allowing for live generation of MIDI events
and simultaneous control of multiple parameters via a control surface. In
Pa1000, it lets you transform the music flow, or do creative and interactive
‘liquid mixing’.
For example, you can smoothly morph between Variations and Drum Kit
types, to create an evolving and always renewed arrangement. You can let
KAOSS help you improvise on pre-recorded music, by reshaping rhythm,
pitch inversion or changing note density. You can make the mix sparser, to
leave a solo player be heard better or let you interact with your audience.
There are also DJ-style note-crunching effects, for more radical changes.
And you can use the KAOSS as a sophisticated arpeggiator, or an old tape
delay machine.
You can choose between several preset KAOSS effects. You will then con-
trol the effects’ parameters on an XY surface, called the KAOSS pad.
