A touchpad effects processor and sampler with 150 effect programs and four sample banks. Sakamaki handled product planning for KAOSS PAD KP3+.

The effects include filters and delays alongside loopers, Vinyl Break and Ducking Comp. Pad position and movement control multiple sound parameters during performance.

Samples can be played as loops or one-shot sounds, and Pad Motion records touch gestures for playback. FX RELEASE lets the effect decay after the finger leaves the pad, helping transitions remain continuous.
