The numark mixers with the pad have one major flaw.

You can't hear the effects through your headphones.

You won't even know if you have the right effect till you hear it through the speakers.

It's a really good lil effects unit.

You plug it in, set the effect, then manipulate it with your finger along the pad.

I used one once, A long time ago...

step one- Set the effect (If I can remeber correctly they are numbered)
step two- Play the effect, and manipulate the range of the effect throught the x-y axis on the krog pad.

Actually if you wanna get it on a mixer, I believe krog, actually has their own mixer with it built in.

It's rather pricey though.

here's a better explanation

On the KAOSS PAD, the way in which the effect is applied can be controlled completely by the X-Y pad. Since the X-Y pad lets you control separate parameters in the horizontal and vertical directions, you can do things like simultaneously controlling the delay time and the feedback of a delay line, or simultaneously modifying the cutoff and resonance of a filter --- complex operations that would be cumbersome with sliders or knobs. The X-Y pad can also be scraped or tapped (struck lightly) to control the effect sound,letting you produce switch-type effects that are impossible with knobs or sliders, and making it possible to control the effects in time with a rhythm or phrase --- just as if you were playing a musical instrument.
