now that's a machine allright =) ... prefer the 201 though, even though the 501 got sound on sound.

not quite handy for dj gigs

Things against the kaoss pad:

- not the best sound quality
- only rca connectors
- sampler sucks, the handling is to complex, in comparison to others, like the redsound soundbite i think its quite useless

Imho the Kaoss Pad is just a toy (like already mentioned), nothing more. I think you will get bored from all this standart phaser/flanger/echo/whatever effects soon. But if it has to be an all-in-one-solution - have a look at the pioneer efx!

I'd rather buy some high quality filters (like the Xone ore Vermona).

I know severel live-acts that uses the kaoss pad 2, and it rocks.
But it all depends on what you learn to use and how you use it.

My suggestion would be to, if you have to have it at all, get it only if you find it super cheap on ebay or something..

I bet it will be easy to find used as I don't think many people would hold onto it for too long - probably a case of thinking it's awesome for awhile until getting bored of it and realizing it's limitations and flaws. No shame in that, i'm always an advocate of "get what you want". I just don't think it's the smartest thing to buy, especially if you, like most musicians, don't exactly have unlimited money.

I might be a little off topic, i was thinking of a little fx box too but, i'd rather use the korg padcontrol with live fxs. I'll get this when i have a little cash

It's way more versatile, and you'll have the x/y pad (assignable to anything you'd like)...cheaper and you get the pads as an extra.

Kaoss Pad seems like a little gadget to me.
