Kaossilator a flop? see the Marketing Punk’s comment about the demand being so hi, this is probably one of the most succesful musical toys ever. It is just that toy, but an incredible toy. Anyone can play it and that’s the point. Syncing up to a turntable would be very tricky and I agree with you but folks somehow manage do it very well. Google it and see how many hits you get compared to your $200 real synthesizer that you could get, in popularity, no competition.

Am I the only person who sees this as a flop? No person with experience with turntables could take these improvised beats and sounds seriously. The only unique attribute is that it makes the burping notes that only synthesizers can make. I could get a real synthesizer for under $200.

This thing is totally awesome. It’s just a fun, refreshing way to mess around and come up with ideas. Not to mention it’s got killer sounds that you can sprinkle on top what you’re doing in a DAW =)

The software is very well done – you drag and drop ‘components’ to create your own sounds. It also has many preconfigured settings. My guitar instructor has one – I’m saving my pennies…

I have one and both I and my 12-year-old daughter love it. It’s really fun to output it through a keyboard so you can play along.

My son uses a Microkorg in his band, “Passage of the Lady Anne”. It is several quantum levels beyond this but doesn’t cost much more. Not as portable, though.

This puppy really needs some USB action. Its such a good sketchpad but its frustrating that you cant export any midi data from it :(

No doubt the next Generation will be pluggable!

I got one of these and it is pretty fun. Not really for the hardcore musician.

There are accessories you can add to add additional sequences – Kaos Pad I think.

No MIDI port. I’ll pass. Nice try, though.

I was VERY tempted to get one of these a few months ago, but demand was so high it was nearly impossible to pick one up, so I gave up.

About two months ago I downloaded iDrum’s Ministry of Sound app to my iPhone and I ended up with what basically amounts to a Kaossilator for a whopping $6.00. If you’re an iPhone user, check out the iDrum apps before spending the $199 on one of these…it might be all you need if you are just going to use it for messing around.

Damn, I sound like I work for iDrum, eh?

I have one of these at work and I frigging love it. I like to hook it up and just make fun beats.
