Item Description
Vintage Korg Kaoss Pad Entrancer (KPE-1) Audio & Video Processor – Excellent Working Condition
Up for grabs is an incredibly rare, cult-classic Korg Kaoss Pad Entrancer. This is the holy grail of hardware video glitching and live performance tools, combining Korg's legendary audio effects processing with real-time analog video manipulation via the iconic X-Y touchpad.
Key Features:
Real-Time A/V Manipulation: Control audio effects (delays, filters, flangers) and video effects (glitches, colour variations, digital wipes, and strobes) simultaneously or independently using the touch pad.
Analog Video I/O: Equipped with both S-Video and RCA Composite inputs/outputs, making it the perfect centerpiece for retro video rigs, CRT setups, and vintage camcorders.
Onboard Sampler: Capture and freeze video/audio samples on the fly.
Full MIDI Control: Features MIDI In/Out connections to sync up seamlessly with your external sequencers, drum machines, or DAWs.
Condition:
This unit is roughly 22 years old but has been exceptionally well-cared for in a clean environment. The touchscreen pad is responsive, all toggle switches, dials, and tactile buttons operate precisely, and the metal chassis shows only minimal signs of age. It has been tested and works perfectly across all inputs and outputs.While the unit is cosmetically clean and fully operational, the DC power input jack on the back panel has a loose connection/faulty joint. The unit powers on and works as intended, but the connection at the rear socket is temperamental and will require a quick repair (such as resoldering the power jack to the board or replacing the socket) to ensure reliable power during use. Because of this minor hardware fault, I have priced the unit accordingly to allow for a quick fix by the buyer. Sold strictly as-is with this power socket issue disclosed.
