Kaossilator 2 and Mini Kaoss Pad 2 Now Available

Introduced in 2007, the original Kaossilator brought fun and easy  music-making to musicians and non-musicians alike. The Kaossilator 2  offers a number of advancements over the original Kaossilator. These  enhancements include an advanced sound generator, dramatically expanded loop recording capabilities plus cross-fading between loops,  and the ability to save loops and the users' complete performances via  an optional micro SD card.

The Mini Kaoss Pad 2 offers a familiar Kaoss interface and real-time  fingertip effects, and can accommodate nearly any audio source via a  1/8" stereo input. It features a number of advancements over the  original Mini Kaoss Pad including an on-board MP3/media player, an expanded library of effects, and optional microSD storage.  The Mini Kaoss Pad 2 offers unique, real-time effects that are ideal for  enhancing DJ and live musical performances, instruments/vocals, and  home studio applications.

Like all Korg Kaoss products, both new offerings are played by sliding  or tapping a finger on the X-Y Kaoss touchpad. For the Kaossilator 2,  moving the finger in one direction controls the pitch and note  information; the other direction controls the synthesizer sounds themselves. On the Mini Kaoss Pad 2, finger motions allow  multiple effect parameters to be easily controlled at the same time.

Korg Kaossilator 2 and Mini Kaoss Pad 2 are now in stores for a U.S. street price of US$159.99
