I dont understand why they didnt take padkontrol (which is empty inside anyway) as base, which having touchpad anyway would be perfect for kaosspad FX. Add couple of controls and they would have the hottest selling product. That would be THE microSampler for 2009. Korg has brought some of the best designed instruments, from M1 (probably most elegant synth ever) to padKontrol and the whole K series (cheesy but good looking) why, oh why such duck?

well the fact that they didn't just upgrade the kaosspad 3 with more efx and a sequencer and better sample
file structure or upgrade the electribe esx-1 just shows that they didn't give a damn about making a buck
they would have made loads.
I don't know what it is about these companies that have list and list of their current customers telling them what they need out of the product and then they just go and create some other shit.......nobody on earth asked for the microsampler, whom ever made the decision to disregard all of those people on the korg forums was smokin some potent gardening supplies.

Played it while waiting for someone at music store. It is uglier then on the pics, damn ugliest music product (from major brand) I have seen in long time- Terribly build, absolutely retarded, it is like some weird kitchen appliance. keys are terrible though not as bad as on MicroKontrol. There was R3 next to it and it sounded and looked much better and only 50€ more. Just had a look at Korg site, it actually looks fantastic on the photo if compared to reality. Should have called it microFinger and score the place on the top of most stupid musical products forever.

what's the sound quality like? If you have big fingers will it be a big issue?
