| Korg Kaossilator Pro |
Although not lightweight, the Korg Kaossilator Pro is very portable, versatile and powerful for a synthesizer its size.
Typically with dynamic phrase synthesizers of this style, unique sounds and phrases are made possible with intuitive ease.
The end result is that with the Korg kaossilator Pro, you have an instrument that acts as your musical partner and collaborater.
When you first pick up and play the Korg Kaoss Pro, two things are quick to enter your mind. Firstly, just how simple it is to intuitively compose totally innovative sounds and secondly,the sheer quality of those sounds.
You certainly get the feeling that this instrument is certainly not a toy but rather, a authentic and legitimate tool for music production.
This musical instrument is so much fun to play it defies words.
For a synthesizer to come in such a compact and mobile bundle it geuinely punches above its weight when it comes to benefit delivery.
Owing to heavy metal construction, this little synthesizer is without doubt not a light weight.
The Korg Kaossilator Pro has various unique features some of which include;
The touch pad screen reacts to the very lightest of brushes or taps of the finger.
Horizontal movements across the touchpad control the pitch while vertical movements up and down the screen adjust the tone.
Such features in combination serve to bring about an very intuitive instrument suitable for the making of new music no matter the skill nor the experience level of the user.
Completely fresh recordings require a level of recording complexity that having four independent loop recording banks enables. You can add further complexity by recording from external sources as well.
The installment of 200 sound programs is a tremendous resource along with the ability to fast access your most preferred 8. This of course helps hold that intuitive flow when you are in full creative mode.
And ofcourse, to create your own music, Usb connectivity and SD storage are must haves.
My only gripe here is that track saving is in real time which for me seems a bit slow.
Having said that, I am extremely amazed at the ability of this little musical instrument.
In my opinion, the Korg Kaossilator Pro is a very extraordinary instrument due to its ability to adjust to the needs of both beginner and experienced musician. This in particular rings true for a synthesizer which is usually easy to split into two separate schools, either for beginners or for the more experienced.Never both.
It can take rather a while to get your head around a new instrument, particularly a synthesizer.
The Korg Kaossilator Pro however, would have to be one of the easiest synths to get the feel of and to begin to master as either a composer or performer, or both.
Korg have managed to bundle all of this power into a unit that you can get new for under $500, so I suggest you check it out now.
Here's a demo video for you to watch.
I hope that this blog post has helped you decide whether or not the Korg Kaossilator Pro is for you.
