New Product: Korg KM-402 Kaoss 4-Channel DJ Mixer with Kaoss Pad

Sep 27, 2007 10:52 AM Asher Fulero (Writer)

The original Kaoss Pad mixers were a hit, combining the touch-pad madness of the original KP1 with a basic DJ mixer in ways that went beyond the simple combination. Now updated with 100 modernized programs from Korg's recent KP-Mini, the new KM-402 Dynamic DJ Mixer ($720; www.korg.com) is a great way for anyone to work the magic of Kaoss effects into their system. The four input channels offer line and phono inputs, as well as a microphone input. You may route each of those into the Kaoss section for mangling. The EQ section has been creatively upgraded: Korg artists created six EQ curves, which are available independently for each channel's three EQ knobs. The EQ types are called KM-Q, Round-Q, Boost, Slamming, Isolator and Hyped. Booth and Master outputs join full Cueing capabilities on the mixer. The Kaoss section includes three program memory slots, a Dry/Wet knob and buttons for Hold and Tap Tempo.
