In a live performance of "Everything In Its Right Place" in Paris in 2001, Jonny Greenwood used the Korg KP2 Kaoss Pad 2, showcasing its role in Radiohead's electronic sound during their "Kid A" era. This performance is captured in a YouTube video by afeliafail.

Jason Baskin, the guitar tech for Matthew Bellamy, mentions that the rig includes a Korg Kaoss Pad.

So what is exciting to Brian in terms of gear? "These [points to the KAOSS Pads] without any doubt. I think these represent the other side of the electronic revolution. I thought these were just the most brilliant new idea in electronic music because of what happened with computerisation. The computer thing is one side of it and it encourages a kind of cerebralness... is that a word?," he laughs. "This has brought some things to music and really filtered other things out. These things [the KP2s] catch what was filtered out for me by the computer revolution and they suddenly bring us back to the idea of physicality and motion and muscular intelligence and expressiveness, so these have been very important to me. As you see, I have them all over the place.

"The things that are made for DJs in general have been very exciting to me. That's because DJs have to get results immediately... they're dancing, they have to be physical and the equipment has to be robust enough to stand that and they don't want to sit programming something for hours; they want something that works now."

And the KP2s are being used to great effect in Brian's new work as he demonstrates to us by chaining three together and using them to control, distort and rhythmically trigger some vocal samples from some old '30s and '40s a cappella tracks. In fact, the vocal side of things is going to be very important in Eno's forthcoming new album, as he explains...

"I'm very surprised because I suddenly got interested in singing again. One of the issues I've always been interested in is what you can do with singing, not only lyrically but also sonically. The next innovation is the voice and what we do with voices and trying to straddle this area between natural voice and synthesized voice.

"I have a couple of songs that sound confusingly slightly inhuman. But I haven't made them like those R&B things where they go very inhuman, very vocodery. What I've tried to do is keep it like a human, but a rather over-perfect human in one case and in another I've made it extremely frail. I found a way of making the voice almost fall apart so it almost turns to breath some of the time and it's a very, very tender, sensitive sound."

And the KP2s look like providing the backbone to many of the tracks on the album. "There is actually a lot to get into with these KP2s," Eno explains. "As you can see, I use them in a chain so what I'm always thinking is that I have groups of programs that work together and then I'm kind of doing this [demos triggering a KP2]. It's really something new in terms of instruments I think, especially when you group them together so you're cross-fertilising them, as it were. I can do amazing things with these. Really, I think I've got these down in a way that nobody else has."

And what about other Korg gear? Korg Magazine spies a Triton in the corner on one of Brian's keyboard stands. What does he think? "I've looked at it enough to know that it's fairly complex," he laughs, revealing at a stroke the hidden depths of this do-it-all workstation. "There are a couple of the stock sounds on it that are brilliant and that I really like using," he adds with a smile.

At 0:30 you can see Andrew playing a Kaoss Pad in the "Dubstep" part of the song. Boyinaband can be seen in the video at that same time, with an Akai Pad.

Wilco guitarist Nels Cline uses a Korg Kaoss 2 Pad "for Echoplex and Space Echo effects just by touching the screen...It's a DJ device, it does a million things," he said.

Can be seen starting 0:29.

In this screenshot from a video on the artist's IG account, Fred can be seen performing live with a Korg KP2. Although there is a lot of motion blur in the video, you can clearly see the distinctive silver casing and large area of blue backlighting at the top of the unit that were unique to the 2nd generation model.

Buying one won't give you Fred's talents. Save your money.

You can see an old Korg Kaoss Pad on Dave's desk.

In this video tour of Gabriel's writing room at his Real World Studios, engineer Dicky Chappell is showing the camera man around the main work space. A pair of KP2s (identifiable by the control layout) can be seen from the 10:31 mark onward.
