- Dynamic Phrase Synthesizer.
The next innovation in the highly acclaimed line of Korg DJ tools has arrived!
The KAOSSILATOR is a new pocket sized instrument that packs Korg's world renowned synth sound along with innovative performance features into an ultra-compact unit. Anyone can instantly play musical phrases by simply tapping or sliding their finger across the KAOSSILATOR's touch pad -- no previous skills required! The KAOSSILATOR is a portable, travel friendly device that runs on batteries, so you can have fun creating music anywhere your life takes you, with seemingly endless possibilities.
100 sounds, man. After two days you know them by heart.
its badass how something so big can come out of something so small
how can this possibly be so good for that price? this is ludicrously amazing.
i bought this synth yesterday .and what can i say - is wicked! and very simple to use
Cool tricks with the Kaossilator: Hold down Scale and press Loop to quickly get back to the Program menu from any other menu. Hold down Loop and Tap and then turn on Kaossilator (you see DLY on the display), then hold down Loop and then press Tap; you can now select to Loop Length 16 mode (but you can no longer Fix, or Erase any unFixed stuff you save).
Also, on program d.84, tapping anywhere on the top and wait produces a rising feedback. To stop, tap anywhere else or change the program.
Had one years ago, another (pink) one on the way! Great demo!!! :)
my life would be greatly improved if i had one of these
You have to plug it into an amp, stereo system, or pa. I occasionally use mine to test the range of speakers, since the kaossilator has an unbelievably wide tonal range for such a small device. There is next to no clipping, so especially in conjunction with a good quality pa system that thing blows you away. The depth of the sound is simply stunning.
I just played with one last night...this is the coolest thing i've seen since buttered toast.
Thank you SOOO much for posting this video. Very helpful!!
Very good little beast. I'd buy it.
Thanks for posting.
the voice looper sound was so sick!
This thing is so cool! I want one!
these things are amazing. love the 3d animations there..
Che strumento fantastico! E costa anche poco per quello che offre!!
well i've seen a couple videos of it already and so far this thing looks amazing, i will probably get it, thanks for the info
i love this Kaossilator from KORG
i really want one of these they look so kool!!!
i like what you did at the end there!
ive got the kp2, its brilliant fun and
theres synths on it as well. also there's the sampling & all the filters & fx, i'd definately recommend it
It depends on how you would use it in the recordings: chances are that I'd flesh out a "rough draft" on the KAOSSilator itself and then record it with each part in a different track to fix the levels so they're just right. The one big problem that I've noticed with the way it's been used is the redundancy factor, but that being said I love a good challenge so we'll see what happens and we'll be layering guitars + bass synthesis (keytar), synths, drums, and vocals too (we're a Cyber-Punk band).
Awesome, thanks for the demo. I have just ordered one from ebay, 99 spondoolies. Happy days. Also ordered line out to small male jack (Mic input) so I can record straight to my laptop.
Man those last couple of minutes were sick!!!
Hell to my student loan on books, I'm getting one of these bad boys and don't do music haha.
i tried this thing out 2day at the international music show.. amazing
Mines ordered! cant wait!
I've heard that you do in fact need a computer or external source to save an entire song, but the amount of loops is infinite.
@SpineTunes I can halfway agree with you there. The Kaossilator Pro costs double but has a bigger pad, can save things and switch between 4 loops so it answers many of the limitations of the Kaossilator. Korg crafted it to have 100 very good sound settings, and moving along the y-axis (up-down) makes changes to the sound for variety. I fix a basic rhythm and add and take away unfixed loops; I'm pleased with my latest video, "Dark Taxi."
I wanted to add that having 100 loaded sounds is probably enough that alone this thing is definetly a good tool. You could easily get great odd sounds and melodic beats and lines out of it if you're creative, I am just saying consider the options. I don't have a laptop and the pocket size is nice so for me I might be interested, but still want midi!
That is awesome. I want one
Very helpful. well made. Awesome
Fade it out in your DAW like fl studio. Good God these effects are awesome, better than anything that comes with any software
Great ! I must buy it !
Nice guide. Thanks.
The "electronic side" of our music will probably be built on the KAOSSilator but replicating it live will definitely be a challenge unless we use backing tracks, something that we're trying to stray from as much as possible. That being said, I can't wait to get my hands on one, we're definitely getting a Mini KP as well once we have money. You should definitely check us out, by the way: we're kinda like an industrial rock band that flirts with everything from Hip Hop to Drum 'n' Bass.
Hell yeah man, I definitely plan on picking one of these up to mess around with while on tour with my band someday, I imagine that this would kill time in between venues like you wouldn't believe. Add a laptop and you could have an album ready by the time you get off the tour too, just imagine the possibilities...
You can dial it in to a specific key, so you can't screw up and hit a wrong note. Plus it's got a hundred different sounds in it. It's a great device to break out when your ideas start getting a little too stale. Just dial it into the same tempo as your project and start pissing around and you'll come up with a new part usually.
wow...i need one of these
love the beam saber
Thank you!
It's cool the way they got a robot to narrate the video.
i have one. it's so much fun to play!!!!!
Damn, I'm just seeing this lol Very nice demo!!! I did a long one too hahaha How can you not!? These things are fun!!!
Sensational!
amazing, ohh i can't wait to get my hands on one of these
* Touch sensitive effects module
* 128 newly developed effect programs
* Vocoder
* Synthesizer sounds
* Effects hold button
* Pad motion memory
* Fx depth knob
* Fx release slider (adjustable delay tail)
* Four sample banks (looped and one-shot
* Editor program included to build libraries of samples and edit them using computer
Awesome tutorial! Finally someone spells it out...
i want one! NOW!! :D
you are awesome !!!!!!!
acid bass so awesome
what an interesting product!
@tomwebb123 I'm not complaining about it much. I just bought one! The "special edition" pink ones are being put on sale so I saved. I only hope the pink Kaossilators don't have a gypsy curse on them or something which explains the difference in price. I'll tell you how it goes. Almost surely I'll put out a video of my improvisation some time!
OMG i want one :D
thank you thank you thank you now i know enough to buy it without having buyers remorse
By Both is my advice they work really well together
have fun..xxx
i loveeee , korg !!!!!!!!!
Thanks, I am now the owner of a Korg Kaossilator :D
holy shit. mind blowing
5:20 I may have mentioned it before, but it's not true you set features like Scale, Loop Length or Erase by pressing two buttons AT THE SAME TIME. Follow the arrows next to the buttons. They mean for that feature, you must press AND HOLD one button and THEN tap the other. Experts do it quickly so it only SEEMS like they're hitting two buttons at the same time.
good review.
my friend has one its the best thing i ever played with while on acid.
Oh, I almost forgot - about that computer question: Well, the KP-3 has the sampling abilities I spoke of, and is able to store samples in normal .wav format onto an SD-card for computer use. Otherwise, you can connect the mini-KP to you soundcard and use any software to record - of course, since the KP's and the microKORG is two different products, anything you record will be on-the-fly and not coded into the microKORG, but you already knew that :)
you are still awesome !!
coolest thing ever
i love itxxxx
I seriously doubt it.
I'm getting one tomorrow, so I can tell you for sure.
Ik heb de opvolgers, maar dit is toch wel een leuke aanvulling.. lekkere sounds in deze..
OMG you're a genius! seriously, no sarcasm, that is the best idea i have ever heard! i would pay, like, $50 for a korg cartridge. and maybe there could be a wifi midi interface module that comes with it! its like electroplankton, but serious this time!
i want Korg to make one, but, it allows more than one finger touch capabilites,
so you could make full chords on the piano sound.:D
@put0n666 The Kaossilator can also use an AC adapter plugged into the top (4.5 volts, positive tip). I am having trouble finding Korg's AC adapter, but a universal adapter set to this will work.
The Kaossilator and the mini-KP are two different things. The Kaossilator is a synthesizer and on the other hand you have the mini-KP which is an effect processor...
I like this thing!!! I wish it wasnt so much.
If you are thinking about editing sounds, first of all drop the Kaossilator - it's an instrument, not an FX-processor. Secondly, consider the Kaoss-Pad 3 if you are serious about using effects. It has more fx's, better editing of fx, and also a sample recorder/player, very useful for both recording and performing. I don't know the price in US, but here in Denmark, it's about three times the Mini-kp, but it's still worth it - trust me!
i'll buy one for myself for christmas
thx for the answer
well you can set the key and mode, choose what sound you want and dynamically change change the tempo on the arpeggiator, ect.. sure, it might not be straight forward to hit specific notes, but there is a musical degree of precision/control to it
so true satchurator17 .. this could do like ... everything!
I think this is a translation of a German version I was just checking out...in any case thanks for posting, very helpful.
That thing looks like a left-handed design. If a person is right-handed they want to use their dominant right hand to work the pad, but their left hand has to curl around the top to get at the buttons placed on the right!
It might have been better if the buttons were available on the left, less of a stretch for the left hand.
I. want. one. now.
Cute toy.
cool i buy it
Even Toys can sound good.
Totally want
ill be back,,asta la vista baby
@v8bert Scales like Major Pentatonic (MaP), Minor Pentatonic (MiP) and Egyptian (EGY) are good only because your fat little fingers are less likely to hit a wrong note. For other scales it would take the precision of a violinist. But I'm not complaining, I just bought one. Some scale/key combinations may go really well together on overdubs; maybe a Kaossilator resource can give us some music theory.
super stuff
+Jota R dc or battrys I have one
this is cool! I'm gonna check out EBay .. ;)
I want one
i have a feeling that if i got this i would just sit all day and mess with acid bass
if that thing came wit a modulation knob and a stylus id buy it
depends on your mixer. if it has an effects loop you best connect it therewith, otherwise you could put it behind your master out if you want to manipulate all, and between a single input (cd-player, turntable) and the mixer if you want to manipulate only one instrument.
Well, you are more limited in what sounds you can make than on a normal synth, but you still have to change the pitch of the notes, set the tempo, and choose multiple layers of sound. The difference is that you're using your finger on the touch pad rather than a keyboard. I guess whether that is easier or not depends on personal preference.
point taken, its like comparing apples to oranges.
Absoultely awesome review! good job! But it would be much better if you could record your own sounds to it!!! (at least 30 seconds of memory for your own sounds vocal samples!) then I would buy it!
@hippyphreak Yes !!!
seen it yesterday! lets chat
great vid 9v
And from my understanding a Kaoss Pad (I'm assuming thats what you mean by KP)is purely effects. You can't create your own music on it, but you can use it to alter whatever you plug into it.
i don't like techno music but this thing is awesome i want it
This dude totally sounds like he is in Kraftwerk. "I'm the operator of my pocket calculator"!!!!
this looks a lot cooler than the mini kp
