The KAOSSILATOR is a new instrument that liberates synthesizer sounds from the keyboard. It gives
keyboardists, guitarists, and DJs a convenient way to add fresh new elements to a band performance or
to a DJ set, while allowing untrained musical enthusiasts to enjoy an entirely new level of musical
involvement and expression.
Thanks to its ultra-compact size, battery operation and hooks for attaching a strap, the KAOSSILATOR makes
it easy for you to start creating music whenever and wherever inspiration strikes you.
Packed with powerful synth sounds, sound effects, and drum sounds
KAOSSILATOR comes packed with one hundred powerful sound programs that combine Korg's legendary modeling
synthesizer engine with the effects from the KAOSS PAD series, perfect for any musical genre. The horizontal
axis is assigned to note/pitch, while the vertical axis is assigned to parameters such as: cutoff, feedback,
or modulation depth*, giving you a wide range of performance possibilities. In addition to classic synthesizer
sounds like leads, basses and sound effects, there are sounds that faithfully simulate piano, guitar, and
trumpet as well as looped and one-shot drum sounds, making the KAOSSILATOR a never-ending source of
inspiration to stimulate your creativity.
Scale/key setting lets you produce perfect phrases
The KAOSSILATOR has a scale function that makes it simple to produce accurate pitches that match any musical
context. You can choose from 31 different scales, including chromatic, diminished, as well as major and minor
blues and pentatonic scales. The scale function can be used in conjunction with the key setting function,
allowing you to perform in any key. Unusual scales such as Spanish, Ryukyu, and Raga are also provided,
letting you create distinctive phrases with an exotic flavor.
Gate Arpeggiator expands your performance possibilities
The Gate Arpeggiator lets you produce specific patterns of notes in sync with the user specified tempo,
greatly expanding your performance options. Simply choose one of the fifty patterns to specify the timing
of the notes, and you'll be creating phrases that you've never dreamed of in a flash.
Loop Recording accelerates your creative power
Loop Recording allows you to record a phrase with a specified number of beats (maximum 8 beats = 2 measures),
and play it back endlessly. For example you can record a phrase using a synth-lead sound, and then layer
(overdub) bass or drum sounds onto it. You can build up layers of cool phrases by simply repeating this
cycle of selecting, playing, and recording sounds. Building a groove was never so easy!
