It really depends on what you define as "bells 'n' whistles" and "true
sound augmentation"... It also depends on what you want to do with it.
Essentially, the KAOSS PAD is a small effects processor that has 60 preset
digital effects that allow one to alter two parameters of each effect at
the same time, via the touch pad grid. There's a family of 6 types of
effects, one of them being miscellany.
The KAOSS PAD is certainly a toy in the sense that one can easily learn
how to use it by pressing a few random buttons...
I think the pad is absolutely great when added as an effect to one's
two-turntable set. I use it for such a purpose religiously. It also
works as a pedal for a guitar, though far less effective -- what with the
RCA inputs, outputs, adapters, etc.
Get to know the sample effects. That can really allow one to enhance a DJ
set, IMHO.
I also use it to add effects to the more droney-indie rock 8 track reel to
reel stuff I record as well.
