Rather compact and sturdy, this little gem seems to me quite hungry against batteries.
In view of the use, ranging from choice of sounds, testing and creation, it may take several hours of madness and the batteries are hot ...
Registration loops and creations is not very easy.
We must walk in the menu and finally find (because it is at the end and there is a sense of defilement) backup option.
Various musical styles rather focus on electronic music but there adapts.

UTILIZATION

I was stupefied to discover a way to choose among the styles applied to the pad (Ionian, Locrian, etc.) to max 4 octaves and a "range max" (5 octaves?)
I find it a bit messy the different drum kit.

Note that there are two ways to record a loop and real-time mode that records continuously.
The final recording loops and creations in real time is not very easy, you have to walk through the menu and finally find (because it is at the end and there is a sense of defilement) The backup option.

Must catch the shot with the use of loops, there are only two but can OVERWRITE above all we want that gives us an infinite loop.

Extract the microsd card and shoo it retrieves his works on his PC to use.
I precise that it can be read in the KAOSSILATOR.

The recording mode records sound loop, not features (tempo, instrument, position the pad) which is a shame because it would have to make changes like changing the wrong notes on his PC by example and on replay The KAOSSILATOR.
A USB port would not have been denied ... : (

SOUND QUALITY

The sound in the headphones is excellent.
The internal speaker is pretty blah blah ...

I would have liked some possibilities of effects, but the coup was planned with the mini kaoss pad.
Damage, they can come out one day that KAOSSILATOR mix the two.

OVERALL OPINION

I use it for a very short time.
The main advantage of this thing is that you can create anything anywhere when you have the inspiration!
How many ideas will not be forgotten thanks to KAOSSILATOR ;)
I had already flashed the first KAOSSILATOR but the leap of purchase.
The kaoss II decided me thanks to its additional functions.

Still too expensive when it is not cresus ... but of course I would do this choice!
