This is the Kaossilator

This is about the cutest thing I have ever seen. Those of you who know that my birthday is March 17th, you’re now informed of the item at the top of my list. Oh-em-gee!

I’d get it for you but I’m short 200 bucks, so sorry! =/

For those wanting to check out some of the sonic possibilities of the Kaossilator, I compiled an album’s worth of tunes recorded directly off the device’s output, no external editing or tweaking involved. Please check it out:

And without taking away from ThinkGeek’s little demo here, for those of you interested in viewing some great Kaossilator performances, there’s a few like this one from Ghostradioshow, showing some KO-1 skillz from Japan:

and of course - still plugging my album - a video of my live performance of the first track, “Arp A Type”. This is one of the few vids you’ll hear in stereo on YouTube:

I could see the ipod or zune coming out with a “plugin-in” to easily add this functionality once they have a touch screen… that would be way more fun at probably the same price range.
