Korg Kaoss Pad 2. The Kaoss Pad is an audio effects controller and sampler, first launched in 1999. It allows users to control a wide range of effects, including sampling, looping, distortion and delay through an intuitive X/Y touchscreen, which was first introduced by Korg in their Z1 synthesizer in 1997. The square touch-sensitive controller pad allowed effects parameters to be controlled creatively in real time and, coupled with its portability and moderate price, the KP quickly became very popular with musicians, DJs and other performers. Famous Kaoss Pad users include Jonny Greenwood of Radiohead, Prodigy, Gary Numan, Orbital, Matt Bellamy of Muse, and Brian Eno. Korg Kaoss Pad 2 2002-2006

Korg Wavestation Digital Synthesizer. The Korg Wavestation has been described as “the end prodcut of California dreams and Japanese sobriety” (http://www.muzines.co.uk/articles/korg-wavestation/424). When the Sequential Circuits company collapsed, Korg picked up their R&D into vector synthesis, including Dave Smith and his research team, leading to the hugely successful Wavestation Synthesizer. The Wavestation incorporated the 2-dimensional vector joystick of the SC ProphetVS which allowed the user to alter and animate sounds. Korg added to this a second innovation in synthesis: wave sequencing, by which short segments of sampled audio waveforms could be played one after the other and cross-faded into each other for some complex and unusual tones, pads, textures and rhythms. The Wavestation had 2MB of ROM-based samples and was easily upgraded and expandable with PCM cards (Source: Vintage Synth Explorer) The Wavestation was very popular with musicians and composers. Users in the early 1990s included Jan Hammer, Phil Collins, Gary Numan, Keith Emerson, Genesis, Depeche Mode, Michael Jackson, and Dire Straits. Mark Snow used the Wavestation to score X-Files episodes. Its sound was most commonly heard in the 1990s in the startup chime for Apple Mac computers, which was created by Jim Reekes on a Wavestation. Korg Wavestation Digital Synthesizer 1990-1994
