• An innovative way to approach production and performance
• Smart recording capabilities
• Extensive performance features

Korg's Kaossilator 2, like all Korg touchpad products, offers a different way to create and perform. The KAOSSILATOR 2 is about immediacy, not synth programming or creating sequences. It's a great way for you to start producing - just pick a random sound and arpeggiator pattern and start touching the pad! If you like what you hear, record it onto one of the two loop banks and keep going. If not, it's easy to browse all 150 sounds until you find inspiration.

If you're performing live, you'll be amazed at how easy it is to integrate the Kaossilator 2 into your show. It's got tap tempo for you to match the arpeggiator to whatever else you're playing, and the selectable scales and keys let you "tune" the KAOSSILATOR 2 to your music before you ever start playing. It's great for impromptu synth solos, and incredibly easy to grab-and-go in a moment of inspiration.

The KAOSSILATOR 2's expanded recording abilities will be an instant favorite if you were a fan of the original KAOSSILATOR. You now have two loop banks to save your ideas to, and you can now save your loops and performances to a microSD/SDHC card (sold separately)! And to expand the creative potential even further, there's a built-in microphone you can use to sample your voice, instrument, or anything else you want to capture on the fly. There's also an external microphone input you can use to connect any dynamic microphone, for more control over your recording.

You get a ton of performance potential with the KAOSSILATOR 2. Not only does it have a wide range of synth sounds appropriate for ambient, electro, trance, house, and virtually any other electronic genre, it's got PCM sampled drums and acoustic instruments that fit into other styles too. And to really get the most out of the KAOSSILATOR 2's awesome sound set, you'll love the ability to mute and crossfade between the two loop banks for more intricate performances than were possible before. Factor in the gate arpeggiator with swing and gate time controls, and you've got a ton of performance potential in the Korg KAOSSILATOR 2!
