OVERALL OPINION

since 2008

The portability and the ability to play anywhere is nice, this is the most

Shame it is not possible to register (no card reader, no internal memory, the less great

I will buy a Kaossilator Pro or the new kaossillator (with card reader!)

UTILIZATION

I play sythms/samples/beats for a pop/indie style band from time to time. It's something different from my usual jobs of guitar/producing. I really have a lot of fun doing this and I'm always on the lookout for new toys to use. I already own a few Korg products including the original Kaoss pad. I decided to get this just to see what I could do with it. The best part about these units is that you don't need a computer to make it work, which is a must for times when you don't have a laptop or yours goes down. Sure it doesn't have a keyboard but the patterns and scales make that an unneeded accessory. It's made to work on its own and it doesn't really integrate well with other units.

SOUND QUALITY

I've got to admit, this is a really fun thing to play with but in a real musical situation it can quickly become a headache. It's pretty limited out of the gate. Short looping, no sync ability, and the sounds that come stock are all you get. Kinda lame. It is really easy to use, however there isn't much depth to what you can do with it since it can't sync. The sounds are pretty decent on their own. Some are duds, but every unit is going to have that problem. Overall you get what you pay for in sounds.

OVERALL OPINION

Here's the bottom line. I can't really use this at a big show because it can't work with other gear. If I have a quick gig and no way to transport my usual synth rig, I can use this thing in a tight minute for most applications and some quick acting to go with it. For emergencies it's kind of a life saver although I've been in that situation before and I'll usually just spring for a Kaoss pad or even a micro korg or something. This is more like a second option, to be truthful. The real shame is how much better this unit could be if it had one or two extra features. But the fact that it doesn't really reduces it to more of a toy than an instrument. Still I have had a lot of fun with it, even though it's never helped me much in the professional sense.

The bank's is simply enormous for the small box that, of all colors and for all tastes,
octave range very respectable for this type of material
connection reduces the minimum, no possibility of noon

UTILIZATION

Ultra simple mini joggle some combinaisaon button and it's partly my kiki,
the manual has little useful from if you're bored in toilet: p
The pad is responsive and very very good quality.

SOUND QUALITY

Suitable for all styles, something for everyone

OVERALL OPINION

I had this little toy in the hands of only a few hours, and stay on a rather mixed opinion.
Innovation is all from just monstrous, we completely took the game to add a sample left to right in the tampering touch pad, and you can get much to do quite honorable with a small box.
Nanmoin a certain shadow appears from the time you want to integrate it into a live setting "classic" (drum machine, sampler, groovebox & co) because no MIDI Submitted ... that the blow to lose all its interest in the Kaossilator as part of a live use ...
no more possibility to save these patterns.

In the end it is a tool tried absolutely due to its fun aspect, but still lacks versatility in its use, a MIDI function would have been widely welcomed

Sound effects stuff so difficult to use in a composite.
Prefers to play a solo, to relax and let his imagination work.

UTILIZATION

Nothing simpler. Nothing to say.

SOUND QUALITY

Ah, the sounds, we like it or hate it. There are some neat stuff but it's oriented electro and even better was seen in these sounds. Nothing huge anyway.

OVERALL OPINION

I use it on the couch or when I go to the doctor (between 1 and 2 hours waiting). It's fun, you get something quickly, but it's still good REPETITIVE as a loop of 8 this is not over. It is true that we just switch to 16 but not at the expense of some function. More volatile as memory is no going back on it later.
For the price up and take it in hand, I do not regret my purchase.
One last thing is a tool to innovate and be carried away by his imagination.

Not bad sound, may not be enough instrument sounds, few octaves.



UTILIZATION

Ergonomics is doubtful, however gcher use, prfrez Plutt a synth that object.

SOUND QUALITY

The sounds are too many qualitative and does not match my use.

The expression is good but not specific on was quick to make a false note.

At realism ... correct, and yet ...
