'Gum Drop Giveaway #31

Get ready DJs and sundry sound manipulators: If you know what a Korg Mini-KP Kaoss Pad is, you should be very excited. If not, check out the details here. Or, at least figure out what it looks like:

A few key features:

• Intuitive touch-pad interface gives you fingertip effect control in real-time.
• The smallest body in the KAOSS PAD series.
• Battery operation makes it an ideal choice for any location.
• One hundred effects including filter, delay, and looper meet the needs of any musical style.
• Numerous BPM effects are provided. You can use the "TAP/BPM button" to synchronize the mini-KP to your song's tempo, and apply a wide range of effects to your music.
• "FX RELEASE" function provides a natural decay when changing effects or removing your finger from the pad.
• Hold function lets you memorize the position at which you touched the touch-pad when you release your finger.
• Use the two memory keys A and B to store your favorite effect program settings, including the effect depth and the Hold on/off status.

Now you have zero excuse for not manipulating sound. One Mini-KP goes to one winner. Sign up for Korg's e-newsletter here. Sign up for the contest below.
