KORG KAOSS REPLAY - Standalone sampler with XY pad, 16 pads, >200 KAOSS effects, and USB audio

KAOSS REPLAY is the new standard in the KAOSS series: a standalone sampler and effects processor with XY pad , designed for performance, DJs and layered creation. With Version 2.x, KORG has expanded the engine with over 200 KAOSS effects programs (including vocoder program integration ), expanded quantization and time signatures, sample pre-count , and new editing tools (Trim, Normalize, Invert, and Pitch Shift). Play and trigger up to 16 pads at once (16 pads x 8 banks per project), create live loops , and automate gestures with Pad Motion . A 5" color touchscreen and A/B faders/groups promote a fast workflow; and thanks to a USB audio/MIDI interface , you can integrate it into a studio or streaming without additional equipment.
