NAMM 2026：新しいDJ機器発表—何が新しい？

AlphaTheta DJM-V5 and RMX-Ignite — NAMM 2026: New DJ gear announcements continued

AlphaTheta positioned two key releases for NAMM 2026. The DJM-V5 offers a compact, approachable alternative to the flagship DJM-V10. Because of its size and feature set, the V5 targets techno and tech house DJs who need powerful effects in smaller rigs. It keeps professional audio quality, four band EQs, and advanced Send FX. Moreover, it adds modern conveniences like SonicLink wireless monitoring for low latency headphone mixing. The V5’s sound engine uses high resolution DSP and ESS converters, therefore delivering clean, punchy output that fits club and studio setups.

RMX-Ignite modernises AlphaTheta’s remix legacy. It updates the classic RMX-1000 concept with paddles for hands-on performance. Also, Ignite includes a stronger sample player, an integrated screen, and digital inputs and outputs. These additions make the unit a true hybrid sampler and multi effects box. As a result, DJs can layer samples, route digital sources, and trigger isolator effects separately. AlphaTheta originally popularised the remix station workflow with the RMX-1000 more than a decade ago; see the RMX-1000 launch coverage here: RMX-1000 launch coverage.

Korg Kaoss Pad V — NAMM 2026: New DJ gear announcements spotlight

Korg returned to the full-size Kaoss format for the first time since 2013. The Kaoss Pad V revives the classic touch effects workflow. It adds modern inputs and deep sampling. DJs get a familiar XY surface with powerful new capabilities.

Why Kaoss Pad V matters — NAMM 2026: New DJ gear announcements explained

The pad uses a dual-touch XY interface for two-parameter control. Therefore, you can morph complex effects with both hands. It also includes a dedicated Voice FX engine for real-time vocal processing. Moreover, the unit functions as a USB audio interface for direct recording and streaming. The Kaoss Pad V ships with two hundred effects presets. As a result, you get quick starting points and creative variations.

Key innovations and performance features

• Dual-touch XY pad for simultaneous parameter control and expressive performance
• Voice FX engine for harmonies, pitch shifting, vocoder style effects and vocal morphing
• USB audio interface for direct DAW recording and low latency streaming
• Two hundred factory effects presets plus user memory for custom patches
• Sampling: up to eight bars of sample time with live overdubbing for loops and layers
• Hi-Z and mic inputs for guitar and vocal processing on the fly
• Flexible routing for MIC, LINE and USB sources and separate output busing

Hands-on notes and use cases

The dual-touch pad speeds live sound design because both axes react independently. DJs will like the eight bar sampling window for loop building. Producers can drop the Kaoss into a live rig, because it doubles as an audio interface.
