All user reviews of 4/5 for the Korg Kaossilator

Square unit with touchpad. I play a little bit of everything, but not good at anything, haha. I'm pretty creative though, so this unit helps me throw some tracks down to really juice up my tunes.

I wanted something to really add some pizazz to my recordings. Korg had this product out there and for $199, I loved the ability to slide out some synth tones just using my hands.

There are a hundred presets, and tons of gate arpeggios for developing loops and patterns. Just using your finger to build your sounds is just the coolest things and makes adding some zap to your recordings just amazing fun.

In my opinion the battery could last a little longer.

Seems constructed well. I've not really subjected it to too much, though.

If you can find this under two hundred, I think it's highly worth it. Check around on ebay or Craigslist and get one used. I think the MSRP is two fifty, but you can find it cheaper. Korg did a nice job making the Kaossilator fun. It sounds pretty good too!

UTILIZATION

use very simple, just out of the box we already know everything!

SOUND QUALITY

korg sounds, it shakes well, only electro, the effects go in all directions, and it is difficult to obtain two times the same note

OVERALL OPINION

I use it recently, I took a bit of curiosity and to take care over the long haul, though ca holds, but for the edition can not be satisfied with this beast, sampler requires. attention, nothing to do with performance at the KP3, I summarize Brief sounds like fun for all micro live alone, can be used even when a few sounds, voila!

Mini surface controller (unlit)
3-4 buttons
a headphone mini jack with volume control
RCA output
non non usb twelve o'clock
there are 99 sounds (including 10 rhythms and percussion 10) adjustable by the X and Y axes (principle KAOSS)
you can also wrap up two steps and make the sound on sound
works with 4 batteries and portable power supply (not included !!!!)
same format ke mini KP ie very small
not look super strong and certainly no cover provided

UTILIZATION

Very easy to choose a sound, its tonality its range etc ...
BMOL small (large for some) the level of delay is not adjustable
some sounds on it is too invasive and that's a shame
the manual is clear, at the same time a machine is easy to use
Another downside: the loop that canbe erased save the power off
zero if we did nothing to save her idea at hand

SOUND QUALITY

The sounds are mostly electronica
lack a bit of sound and basic analog
simulations trumpet piano is ok handle on anything hard touch screen
there is still enough to make the whole

OVERALL OPINION

I have since yesterday
I think it's a machine that can serve primarily as "creative leisure"
zikos a toy wholesale
but some sounds can really make a definitive model
I am very satisfied by the two flats

I think the term is synthtiseur random image that best defines this type of machine. Random image as well as the emergence of increasingly common touch pad provides a sense of play very interresting, it is nevertheless quite difficult to manage.
it is very difficult despite some indications of the screen to know segements 3x7 or reproduce twice a position.
Connectivity, as it is plutt ACCS to DJ (only in connection sintch or RCA) and the instrument seems to mono sound.

UTILIZATION

The general configuration is simplified.
it still leaves a large variety of modulated sounds, especially through the arpeggio section which includes 50 DIFFERENT reasons.

SOUND QUALITY

As a rule plutt sounds have a color electro. At least the most relevant.
Some more classic sounds such as the trumpet, piano or organ are disponiblles,

OVERALL OPINION

It is now ten days that I am doing tests on this machine and I have to recognize that even if I was not a big fan of using an equivalent multi-effect that is the MINI KOOASS PAD, the Koassilator is a machine for the most boring.
Of course, there will still be very difficult even for its type of operation, using it as simply as a synthesizer .... But it can be very useful for adding melodic or rhythmic song.
In addition, his character somewhat random bit also use a muse (in order to breathe new melodies).
As one person said it is indeed Previous ... the more of a big toy for musicos (notified all of the same) as an instrument rel.
You just have to know the reason why we bought ...!!!

The Kaossilator is a synth poket it yours in your pocket is transported anywhere, from the beach to public transit.
It is powered by four 4.5 V batteries or power supply not included!
is to connect the RCA conections, a headphone jack.
a hundred of his categorized (bass, drum, synth ........)

UTILIZATION

It's very simple to use, what n'inporte person to make the music of the child to the elderly
not need to read the manual to understand the use.

SOUND QUALITY

I made all kinds of music, so it adapted to my music!
to imitate the sound of real instruments are not realistic at all, but to make the electro sound is the height is the korg anyway!!
good expression
the sound is generally good sanitation, but there are some one who has not used!

OVERALL OPINION

I use it for a week
that korg does not provide with the adapter, strip stingy
RAPORT good money, he scaffold bargain !!!!!!!
yes I do it again this choice

On the box it is marked "Dynamic Phrase Synthesizer" ... AC is more or less .... you tap the touch area and it makes noises electro ....

Many sounds, fake instruments 2 octaves .....

Cheap plastic case, 1 audio jack and an RCA output volume as possible without modification

UTILIZATION

Using simple, fairly intuitive, but .....
for use on a mixer, rca output can not vary in volume .... So if you play with other musicians, you need an adapter and exit through the jack.
Possibility to record and overdub loops above but only on two measurements of a previously preset tempo ....
The pad is quite responsive, precise (indeed marks were good, there is a defect layers to find his notes)

SOUND QUALITY

I bought the pad for some sounds in our group electros rock ...
During the first few uses, I say "Wow sounds hold the road, percussion and some are realistic instrument" and then after several hours of empowerment bin is rather "There are some sounds that are usable, rest is too cheap ... why they did not put the really useful commme more different synths, sounds kind of agreement (with the third and fifth), or guitar sounds. "
The pad is very responsive and the use of x and y axes are really well thought out, kind of left to right are the notes and downward velocity or effects.
To play it really well ... For creative drum bass, this is enough to make songs ... With real instruments it's just ....

OVERALL OPINION

I've had it one month, I did some repeated with drums, bass, guitar and a few hours at home to know a little trick.
The trick really is the size and the possibility that it is portable.
The trick is that you have less preferred operating 50 sounds really good rather than 30 and 70 means, it gives the impression that they were filling type of sound. The look cheap, it really looks like a toy as it has in hand, besides my 2 year old son loves.
