A touchpad processor that combines up to four effects at once. Sakamaki handled product planning for KAOSS PAD QUAD.

Loopers, Vinyl Break and Ducking Comp are among the available effects. Applying several together allows a single gesture to reshape incoming music or microphone signals in multiple ways.

FREEZE keeps the effect active after the finger leaves the pad. Automatic BPM detection and tap tempo align time-based processing, while coloured pad LEDs respond to the performance.
