UTILIZATION

General configuration of a childlike simplicity: the interface according to Korg! The manual is completely useless because of the intuitiveness and simplicity of the machine. This is the big highlight of the beast, as easy to use stand-alone MIDI controller that it is ideal for big solos or arrangements on defined ranges without risk of "bread". No editing or sound effects, it is his weak point was quickly made the rounds of the 200 presets (ranging from excellent to completely Suck ...) So we have a little bit about his hunger stand alone. I used to be so in improv jam with friends (because even when it is almost enough to mix a base piece by itself through the sampler on 4 banks, so with some zicos who make arrangements for that we mix the basic rhythmic and harmonic, then torch it!) or to control my synths MC505, which allows me to take advantage of the interface that kills by expanding the sonic possibilities. I just put the score of 8 because of the inability to edit the presets.

SOUND QUALITY

Sounds, well, it depends on your taste ... There's some very good presets and other very poor or who are alike. And since they are not edited, well we have a little bit about his death ... The effects and filters, it is similar, it depends on the presets. Overall, I am sorry sounds a bit cold and too synthetic, no downstream processing is a bit ugly. Requires its good effects behind what ..

OVERALL OPINION

I use it for a little over 6 months now, and despite his absence I can not get enough and does not part with it. Before the purchase I had the small and mini KAOSSILATOR Kp I found excellent, although limited, which led me to acquire KaossPro which allows much more than its predecessor. What I like most is its touchscreen interface, with a choice of ranges and dominant y 'what improvise on anything without risk of false notes and that's too good! More needs to be high-level pianist to compose or do solos, it helps anyway. The value for money is good I think, if somewhat high for my taste, 250/300 euros in nine would have been more appropriate given the limitations of the machine. With experience, I would do without hesitation that choice because it is the only machine of this type, no equivalent of any brand with an interface as intuitive and well thought out, what makes you forgive him his faultless. An interface like this on a machine including a sequencer, with more banks and sounds would be the ultimate machine editable for me. In the meantime, I control my MC505 with the Kaoss, the MC505 sequence and a syncronise SP404 loaded block (including samples "in Kaoss madi") with the audio is resampled in the Kaoss, all hacked by various effects (including Mini-Kp). And frankly, it works well;)! A beautiful
