more NAMM gear: new Korg Kaoss

[Steve Burnett <sburnett@webslingerz.com>]

I sometimes will use my Korg Kaoss Pad, not just for the effects, but for
the short (5-6 second sampling) loop. It's clumsy, it's about as
granular as a rock (not sand) garden, but it works. Now I see this as
part of the NAMM coverage:

http://namm.harmony-central.com/WNAMM01/Content/Korg/PR/KM2.html

"Sampling on the KM-2 has been enhanced [from the original Kaoss], with
an expanded 23 seconds of sampling time at a 44.1 kHz/16-bit sampling
rate.

Samples can be taken from the mic/phono or line inputs and the user can
even sample through the KAOSS Pad's effects, including any realtime
movements. There are four dedicated sampling buttons so samples can be
triggered independently from the pad's effects.

When the samples are assigned to the pad the user has control over
scratching, re-looping, pitch-changing and a host of radical performance
possibilities."

Cool. Sampling length of the Akai Headrush with a ton of effects.
Obviously more of a performance-oriented sampler than a true looper.
