Introduction
Thank you for purchasing the KAOSS PAD Entrancer
audio/video processor.
To ensure trouble-free enjoyment, please read this
manual carefully and use the product as directed.
Main features
Use the X-Y touch-pad to freely control audio and video
effects in a single performance.
By rubbing your finger across the touch-pad or
tapping it, you can simultaneously control different
effect parameters in the horizontal and vertical
directions, allowing you to manipulate images and/or
audio processing in realtime.
One hundred video effect programs and combinations
dramatically transform the images
The KAOSS PAD Entrancer provides one hundred
ready-to-use video effect programs, letting you apply
dramatic effects to any type of image. These effects
cover a wide range, from basic effects such as fade,
wipe, color modification, freeze, flip left/right, invert
top/down, rotate, and expand/shrink, through
sophisticated effects such as split-screen, inverted
image components, sandstorm, monochrome
compositing, delay, strobe, emboss, and even
shrinking while spinning! You can use the knobs to
easily select effect programs, and register eight of your
favorites to the program memory buttons.
One hundred audio effect programs for DJ mixes and
sound design
The KAOSS PAD Entrancer provides one hundred
audio effects that include filters, spatial-effects such as
delay and reverb, and modulation effects such as
flanger, phaser, and pan. Numerous analog synth
sounds and ambient sounds are also built-in, making
the KAOSS PAD Entrancer an ideal tool not only for
the VJ but also for DJ/remix/music production work.
BPM effect functionality with a variety of BPM detection
Twenty BPM effects can be synchronized to the BPM
to control delay time or the LFO speed of pan, phaser,
or flanger effects. You can set the BPM manually, use
the Auto BPM to automatically detect the beat of an
audio input source, use the Tap Tempo function to set
by BPM by tapping the Tap key, or detect BPM from
incoming MIDI Clock messages.
Ten types of Sample/Play effect let you sample motion
video, still images, and audio
You can directly sample and play back the output
image or an input phrase (a six-second motion video
sample, plus a still image and six-second phrase for
each of the two sample keys)
Pad Motion function and Mute/Freeze function for
realtime operation
The Pad Motion function lets you capture a favorite or
complex movement on the touch-pad, which can then
be played back instantly to control images and sound.
The Mute/Freeze function lets you freeze the image
that is being output.
Easy connection to video equipment or other VJ devices
The KAOSS PAD Entrancer provides a full range of
inputs and outputs for connection to your VJ setup or
any other situation. MIDI connectors allow the KAOSS
PAD Entrancer to be used with external keyboards,
samplers, sequencers or effect devices as a controller
for sounds or effects. By using the KAOSS PAD
Entrancer with external equipment you can enjoy a
nearly infinite range of possibilities for controlling
images and sounds.
“Light” adds an exciting dimension to your live
performances
The pad color changes dramatically depending on the
position of your finger on the pad and on the type of
effect selected. These colorful lighting effects will add
a dramatic element to your performance.
Compact size that fits into any setup
With a compact size, and a highly functional design,
the KAOSS PAD Entrancer occupies minimal space
and will easily fit into any setup.
