Yep, guitar. Synth too.
You could a simple tray that clips onto the micstand to have the touch screen within your reach.

Yep. Hors Sujet is also on the french guitar gear for alternative genres of music I run, so I've followed his stuff throughout the years. He did implement the Kaoss Pad in his setup. I remember that. But I don't remember seeing him using it in one of his vids, even though I know he did.
That new Kaoss pad looks awesome, and a lot different from the past ones. I have the Yellow and red small ones and they're a lot of fun! sound really good.

Do you have any other Koass Pads??? The KP3??? I was interested when this came out cause I've owned every KP there is but I no be jivin with the set effects and set order and no sampler...
Nope, but we used a KP Mini in a band years ago, basicly when it came out and the Quad seems to feature everything I could have wanted at the time to better the experience... I'll probably write a review in French for the forum I run and maybe record some samples, I'll try and post these here, or at least sum up my impressions.
Basicly, what made me pull the trigger is the fact that you can control and use 4 effects at the time and make any combination you want between blocks when you had to scroll through presets and use only what was already programmed in the unit with the KP Mini. The Quad seems more "in the moment", more inviting to tweak on the fly if you see what I mean.
Yeah I don't know... Not trying to rain on the parade but they just don't do it for me... The KP's in my mind are some of the easiest and coolest samplers/loopers around and just sticking some random effects in a weird chain and letting you use all four at once just doesn't do it for me... I am interested to hear what you think when you get it so please let us know...
