Think music-making is just
for superstars in studios? Not anymore. The pocket-sized KORG
KAOSSILATOR 2 puts the power to create your own tracks in the palm of
your hand.So if you’ve ever fancied yourself as the next David Guetta or Gorillaz, this is the pocket-friendly gadget of 2012.
It builds on the phenomenal success of the original KAOSSILATOR, which was loved by artists including Lily Allen, who said “I’ve been having so much fun with my KAOSSILATOR on stage and while travelling... It’s so easy to come up with cool beats and crazy sounds.”
This new version offers more features, more style and more flexibility than ever before, with an enhanced sound generator that lets you create synth and drum combinations across a range of genres, from R’n’B to D’n’B.
Packing 50 years of electronic music expertise into a sleek handset that’s only a little bigger than a mobile phone, KAOSSILATOR 2 is a pick-up-and-play powerhouse.
Designed to be exciting and easy-to-use, you create your sounds by stroking, tapping or rubbing the touchpad, then loop them into continuing patterns. You can even layer two loops together to make DJ-style mixes. What’s more, the built-in mic lets you add your own instruments or vocals, and you can save the whole thing onto a microSD card, as well as playing it back via the built-in speaker or headphones.
To help ensure you sound amazing, the scale functions even eliminate ‘wrong notes’.
