[NAMM] Korg Kaossilator Pink

This color option is in addition to the traditional yellow color.

About the Kaossilator:
Any user, from non-musician to professional keyboardist, canplay musical phrases by simply tapping or sliding his or her finger across its KAOSS Pad-style touchpad. The unit’s looping features and wide range of sounds and patterns make it an integral performance piece, musical scratch pad or sample source.

The product offers 100 programs that combine Korg’s modeling synthesizer engine with the effects from the KAOSS Pad series. The touch pad’s horizontal axis is assigned to note/pitch, while the vertical axis is assigned to parameters such as cutoff, feedback or modulation depth, for a wide range of performance possibilities. In addition to classic synthesizer sounds, the unit features sounds that are said to faithfully simulate piano, guitar and trumpet plus looped and one-shot drum sounds. Ten sampled drum patterns are also included.

The Kaossilator runs on four AA batteries (included) or optional AC adapter (DC4.5V). Connectors include a Stereo Line Out (Dual RCA) and a Mini Headphone out.

Pricing & Availability
The yellow Kaossilator is currently available, and the pink color option will be available in spring 2009, with pricing for both running $249.99 MSRP.
