For Christmas, I received a KORG Kaossilator. It’s a tiny touchpad operated synth which is supposed to be pretty easy to get started on. After messing around with it for a day, I tried recording something. My input was a bit hot to the laptop and things get thick at the end…less is more. Very very fun little device.

I’m using a hidden 4-measure loop mode (usually it’s an 8-count 2-measure limit). You can switch it on by:

1. hold down the TAP / BPM and LOOP REC / PLAY buttons
2. switch the unit on
3. hold down the TAP / BPM and press LOOP REC / PLAY to access the loop count menu
4. switch it to the newly activated 16 count setting
