[◎ Summary]
The KORG NTS-3 kaoss pad kit is more than just an effect machine. Equipped with the KAOSS series’ signature touch interface, it allows you to freely transform the texture and motion of sound simply by tracing your finger across the XY pad. You can use up to four effects—such as filters, delay, and modulation—simultaneously on a single piece or performance, creating richly layered and dynamic sound expressions never before possible.
With 100 presets and 100 user memory slots, you can instantly recall your own unique sonic world from countless combinations. Moreover, the open development architecture “logueSDK” allows users to design and add their own effects, giving this device the potential not just to be “used up,” but to be continuously “grown” as an electronic instrument.
For musicians dedicated to sound design, live performers, and creators who seek inspiration through gear, the NTS-3 kaoss pad kit is an ideal compact yet powerful and endlessly expandable unit. It’s especially recommended for those who want to manipulate sound expression in real time and enjoy the performance experience through sight, touch, and sound alike.
This product offers a unified experience of “touching, creating, and performing.” Rather than being a mere extension of existing gear, it serves as a true partner for opening up new ideas and new sonic worlds.
