Uses
I was just wondering if the KAOSS pad has any uses in rock music. I'm not really looking to buy one right now, but I was wondering more of what it can really do, since I don't know a whole lot about it.

hey heres some info on it

theres a start....the 1st one is to korg.com
and the 2nd link is a review.....hope this helps then the gay linnk i setup hahaa
imho a guitarist using the KP3 would be hard unless you midi the thing out.
but....for sampling and looping with effects, this kp3 is the way to go....i just find it more applicable to a dj / live performer.....like using the electribe and the kp3, thats what i do....then use audio through to pull samples off my mp3 player.....then have a dance party
have fun and the only way to learn is to play

I've been using a KP2 as the main effects processor in my guitar rig for about a year now. The learning curve was quite steep stepping into it (and continues to get steeper as I demand more and more out of it) but the tradeoff has been some unique and extremely usable tones that would cost a fortune to try and duplicate elsewhere.
I've written off most of the programs on it as being completely useless for what I need, but there are a dozen or so programs that I depend on. One program gives me a very nasty hard clipping distortion that I can modulate easily, but I found that some of the delay oriented effects that also screw with the pitch a bit can be outstanding at modulating feedback. There are a couple of thick reverbs that sound pretty good, and I never get tired of playing with the synth programs over top of a drummer and a bassist.
There's certainly plenty of information floating around on how to incorporate one into a guitar rig. I'm actually in the process of redoing my entire rig from a more conventional pedalboard to a Midi setup. In order for me to get everything to work the way I wanted, I had to do extensive hardware mods to the KP2. I did completely rip off Muse and put the touch pad in my guitar, but I also wired up all the program memory buttons to momentary footswitches and did some other things that proved to be less useful.
The larger issue associated with incorporating it into a Midi rig is the volume of work associated with programming a controller to transmit enough data to actually recall a usable preset as opposed to simply hitting a program memory button.
I guess the bottom line is that a KP can be useful in a rock environment, presuming the user can find useful way to incorporate it.
