Re: ALESIS INEKO



The vocalist I work with was looking for a cool little effects box and 
I almost recommended this... but then I realized it's line level only.  
Makes sense for a DJ, but the cool thing about the KAOSS pad is that 
it's got line and mic inputs (as well as phonograph in).  She could 
hook it up into the effects loop of her little Behringer mixer, but 
she's kind of a newbie to electronics so I'm guessing the simpler the 
better.

If anyone knows has a lead on a cheap KAOSS pad let me know.
