The Kaossilator 2 is a dynamic phrase synthesizer by Korg, and the successor of the famous Kaossilator, which successfully launched back in 2007. It’s a palm-size synthesizer that anyone can virtually play at any place, due to its size, and anytime because it has a battery. This little bad boy can produce drum and synth sounds in a wide range of genres. Now, it has the addition of expanded loop recording. Its capabilities go beyond just a simple handheld synth. For example, you can use its internal mic to record vocals, guitars, and other audio sources and use them as loops.
Kaossilator 2: Features
The Kaossilator 2 has a great OEL display for you to visualize what’s going. Furthermore, it’ll provide a companion for the touch slider for ease of use. This device has a micro SD card to save your data and a small built-in speaker and mic. The uniqueness of this interface glows when you start arranging melodies and phrases by only stroking or tapping the touchpad. Additionally, it’s sensible to the placement and positioning of your fingers. You can add effects and modulations to make it even more exciting. Furthermore, this little device is entertaining and powerful at the same time. With its flexibility you’ll start doing great sounding performances and tonal changes within minutes.
In this interface, Korg’s synth tech has 150 built-in sounds that cover a vast array of musical styles. The PCM sound generation can provide you with drum sounds that are superrealistic. Similarly, there you can find loop patterns. In short, you’ll be in for a treat. Lastly, you can do overdubbing many times by adding layer upon layer with ease. It doesn’t matter if you’re not a phrase or key pro: it will sound musically appropriate.
