It's a faulty Korg Kaoss Pad that I kind of bent. The KP touchcontrol broke and then the unit itself started acting funny.
First of all: IF YOU'RE LOOKING FOR A WORKING KAOSS PAD THE AUCTION IS NOT FOR YOU BECAUSE THE UNIT CANNOT PROCESS AUDIO AND THE TOUCH PAD IS MISSING.
Now, how does it work ? Well simply turns the unit on and it'll start making sounds. You can change programs by turning the program wheel, you can even still save your favorite presets to one of the 8 push buttons to instant recall. As you can see there are 3 body contacts that acts on the sound. They do have an effect on every preset but on most the do have.
You can also still sample the noise that comes out of the unit on one of the 2 samples location (see video).
There is also a reset button, to quickly reset the unit when you're fed up of the ongoing noise.
What you can't do ? use it as a fx unit, as a working Kaoss Pad because no audio can be process, all the sounds come from the box itself.
You don't have much control over the sounds, and some presets are not giving any sound and other are giving the same, but all in all, it's a nice cheap box if you'll looking for noises and drones.
Hear for yourself: DEMO#1,DEMO#2,DEMO#3
