yeah it's been out for a couple of months Linky
  the reviews i've read have said it's got some nice features,  but after owning a KP2 for a few weeks and finding it to be  utter shit, i'm sceptical

search youtube for it - there are 4 or 5 movies about it  that are quite good.

For under £300, it's pretty impressive.
  I've got a KP1 and think it's good at what it does (I'm no  fanboy of it, mind). I really like the look of these, but  would want to play on one first.

Previous thread by me
  Has some youtube examples. Looks fucking lush. I got rid of  my KP2 because it seemed useless in my studio, but this  looks like its just the ticket.
 
  However, I wish they would allow you some control over what  is controlled in the patches. It makes it kind of  unintuiitive if the delay rate somethings falls on the x,  then other times falls on the y. Also would be nice if you  could customize the sounds a bit more.

 you could make a shitload more useful one in max in an  afternoon using your trackpad as an interface. £300 is a  fortune for a bunch of crap effects.

PS. You could make a patch in max that controls the  frequency of a fart like a theremin using your penis as an  interface. That still isn't going to stop you from being a  wanker.

FUCKING AGREEED MATE!
  Alrite, Max/MSP can do some wonderful things, but I really  cannot be arsed to sit at a laptop, looking even more nerdy  than I already do trying to learn a programming language  that I'll never properly understand. 
 
  Mind, the demos are pretty nice.

I don't want to get involved in the "you could replicate  this on the PC" debate (it's something I've done with other  gear and I sit decidedly on the fence on the matter). I will  say, however, that the kaoss pad's touchpad is vastly  superior to the one on every laptop I have ever used.

 honestly there was no debate. i just stated a fact and a few  halfwits started posting. if you've got £300 to throw away  then bob's your uncle. i honestly couldn't give a fuck. a  small amount of work to save £300 bells is just 'a good  idea'. i'm not championing the 'pc verus hardware' debate or  saying max is the be all and end all. nor am i telling  anyone what to do. honestly i don't post on this board much  and there's always been a fair degree of twatery but i just  couldn't be arsed with this.

I was just saying that whilst you can make an approximation  of piece of gear x, it's seldom that close. Yes, you could  make something that resembles a kaoss pad in max (and even  Ableton Live and the lowly Fruityloops include preset things  to do this).

 ableton live was actually made in max, monolake used to have  his old sequencers on his site. and whilst doing a version  of an XY controller to control VSTs or homemade plugin's  will not be exactly the same as a kaoss pad, it will be  completely flexible, and if you're using a crack, completely  free. it's reasons like this that after using demos and  cracks for 18months i shelled out and bought max. i'm not  trying to be elistist as the bloke above seems to think,  quite the opposite. in his own words:-
 
  "however, I wish they would allow you some control over what  
  is controlled in the patches. It makes it kind of  unintuiitive if the delay rate somethings falls on the x,  then other times falls on the y. Also would be nice if you  could customize the sounds a bit more. "

Ummm. Yeah. What I mean is I don't want to be obligated to  sit in front of a computer either. I like being able to move  around when I make music. It makes me feel like less of a  wanker.

And just before you start to whine any more I'm going to  point out that you went in a thread where some users were  excited about something and did nothing but insult it. That  is trolling and didn't dignify any other kind of response.

Well you certainly said they were crap and its a waste of  money. I guess you could say that was "having a different  point of view". I saw it as trolling. In many message boards  if you just show up and throw out a negative comment that  doesn't really add anything to the conversation its  considered trolling and gets you flamed. If you don't choose  to accept that opinion as anything but rubbish, then knock  yourself out. Most people who have a little working  knowledge of music production are fully aware of the fact  that you can turn shit into magic with max. 
 
  If you need any further examples, just look up the name  PAWEL on most music making message board. He regularly takes  good threads, and adds relatively unrelated jabs at the  topic content, then big ups his "experiments" in  supercollider (see: gourmet beats).

 i reserve my right to be a negative cunt thanks. i was  talking about the topic in hand, its not like i showed up  and randomly called you a cockwit, i expressed a different  opinion and pointed out a better opinion, if having someone  disagree with you means that you have to start writing three  posts in a row of insults then perhaps you shouldn't take it  all so personally.  and if you think someone is 'trolling'  then why do you respond? that would be exactly what they  want?

Yes, Pawel's stuff is shit. Next time someone slates floops  and bigs up max/supercollider, I'll point them in the  direction of this and then Midnight Request Line.

1 - Hey, before you undergo a gigantic brain hemorage due to  getting unreasonably stressed from a messageboard, perhaps  you should consider that most people who haven't learned max  don't want to learn max, and you piece of advice was  equivocal to telling them that they might as well use the  body of a squid to the effect of a kaos pad? You didn't  offer them a better option. Anyways, I might suggest you  calm down a bit and not take things so seriously.
