The Kaossilator is a new battery-powered pocket-sized instrument featuring Korg synth sounds alongside innovative performance features - Korg say that anyone can instantly play musical phrases by simply tapping or sliding their finger across the Kaossilator’s touch pad.

While the Kaossilator has been designed to offer untrained musical enthusiasts a new level of musical involvement and fun, it is also aimed at keyboardists, guitarists and DJs looking for a convenient way to add fresh new elements to a band performance or DJ set. Korg say that the Kaossilator is a portable Korg synthesizer delivering maximum flexibility in an ultra-compact body, with battery operation that allows you to jam anywhere.

Here’s the details in Korg’s own words: 

Powerful sounds & features KAOSSILATOR comes packed with 100 sound programs that combine Korg’s modelling synthesizer engine with effects from the KAOSS Pad series. Its horizontal axis is assigned to note/pitch, while the vertical axis is assigned to parameters such as: cut-off, feedback, or modulation depth, giving you a wide range of performance possibilities. In addition to classic synthesizer sounds, there are faithfully simulated piano, guitar and trumpet sounds as well as looped and one-shot drum sounds. making the KAOSSILATOR a never-ending source of inspiration to stimulate your creativity.

The KAOSSILATOR offers you a choice of 31 different scales, including chromatic and diminished, as well as major and minor blues and pentatonic scales – by using the key setting function, you can play them in any key. In addition to the standard western scales, Korg has included a few more exotic varieties such as Spanish, Ryukyu, and Raga.

The Gate Arpeggiator
Gate Arpeggiator enables you to produce specific patterns of notes in sync with user specified tempos. Then, to get your creative juices flowing, Loop Recording allows you to record a phrase with a specified number of beats to a maximum of two bars (or measures) and add layers to it.

Reviews Author: MickeyDeeJay WOW - AWESOME, I cannot think of enough nice things to say about this item, it is just fantastico. As usual with Korg it is super easy to use. You can't program it, but the presets are really really good, especially the arpeggiator patterns and preset drum beats. There is a ton of variety to choose from and the sounds are fat and warm. You can hit the desired notes very easily and set dozens of scales in any key..Dial up the major blues or minor blues scale, set the key of choice and you are off! Plus all the sounds have great Y axis and you can do performance modulation of on absolutely everything, It also has a great LP filter cutoff sweep and or great analog delay/echo or phasing!! One thing of note if you have thick fingers like I do it can be a little hard hitting just one note, but just use your fingernail to tap and it will work out great. Be sure to check all the videos on you tube on what people are doing out there with this crazeee thing! This is by far the best $200 I ever spent, this thing is just amazing!
