I'm looking for a sampler that could have different effects on different samples/tracks (or loops) at the same time and that could also modify some parameters of the effects live (using knobs or the pad or external midi controller). Can some of the kaoss products do this?

You may want to check out the KP3 and the Kaoss Pad Quad.

I'm 100% certain the KP3 cannot do this and I'm fairly sure the Quad can't either, though I don't have one of those. The best the KP3 can manage is resampling a loop that has a given effect applied, then using another KP3 effect on top of it. In any case, whatever effect you're actively using is applied equally to all sounds coming out of the KP3, both from its audio inputs and all its samples. You can't pick and choose, unfortunately.

If you want hardware and it's within your price range, the Elektron Octatrack would be perfect for what you want to do.

KP3 cant do it live. you can resample with FX onto the 4 loop banks but thats it.

Kaoss pad Quad cant do it either: has no sampling functionality.

first option I can think of thats CHEAPER than an octatrack: a laptop + software.

I don't know of any hardware loopers that are able to do this kind of stuff live except the octatrack.. other than having multiple separate loopers with dedicated FX units/pedals on their outputs.

so in theory the KP1/2/3 can do this but you will need more than one.

that's what I was afraid of Sad

so are there any parameters that can be changed individually for each sample or loop live on some of the devices you know (ideally the KP3)? at least the volume? what about a low pass cutoff frequency?

i *think* an sp404 will let you apply a single effect to one or more samples of your choice - but it's not a live looper. works best with preloaded samples.

will the new boss unit do what you want?

Maschine or Ableton Live 9 Studio with Push can easily do what you want.

I'd like to avoid using a PC/notebook if possible.

I don't need live sampling, I can preload my samples.

which new boss unit? sp404sx? I tried to find out, but I was told it can't do two different live effects at the same time. Or do you mean the RC300? I guess the rc300 probably could do it

Yeah, I must say Push looks intersting. I was however, somewhat surprised at the price - seems a little high. But it's probably worth it, must check it out more in-depth

I have an MPC500 and you can have 2 effects at the same time. The effects aren't as great as the SP or Kaoss effects though.. With the 404 and KP3, you can resample with the effects though. Maybe the OP-1?
