Ikkini « Everything at hand »
Published on 08/18/11 at 08:18The Kaoss Pad Quad has four effect block, the first includes the slicers, the second distortion and other third filters, the latest delay and reverb.
Effect blocks are in series, in this order if it is used from 1 to 4 effects simultaneously.
Input and output RCA + a microphone input jack (sic) with preamp, headphone.
No MIDI (sniff), the tempo, three methods: manually, tap tempo, or automatic detection (which works fine, but sometimes needs to be restarted).
The case seems strong despite the plastic.
UTILIZATION
This is the highlight of the Kaoss Pad, we have everything under the eyes, you know exactly what you use when you use it, you can change very quickly and very intuitive effect. Almost as if we had four of Kaoss Pad series. The possibility of "freezer" effect boosts the ease of use.
I reproached the Kaoss Pad series of not being able to choose its multi-effects, especially having to store the numbers of presets.
We can perhaps regret the absence of a small screen on the screen to be more self-assured (especially for delay time and slicers)
SOUND QUALITY
The effects are clean, nothing special ... They sound like the previous Kaoss Pad is a bit cheap for my taste, but perfect for live performance. For cons, I never used it for the studio.
OVERALL OPINION
I use it for a few months and feel are exceptional. Once again it's really a companion to the scene, do not expect miracles. But precisely in this context I find it perfect. I use it as master on my machine and it's a real pleasure.
Even if I find the machine a bit expensive compared to some criteria (quality effects, input / output RCA jack microphone input, no MIDI IN ...) I would do this choice because it is really an ideal partner for the stage. However, if I had had a much tighter budget, I should not cast on that machine first ...
