Mini Kaoss Pad 2 and Kaossilator 2 -- Overview and Comparison -- In The Studio with Korg

[@VperVendetta1992]

if you must install it on a guitar, the better choice is the mini kaoss pad. The kaossilator is more to create sound from scratch than to manipulate an input. Matthew Bellamy from the Muse used a Kaoss Pad 3 on his guitar.

[@albertopicciau9934]

Hi, I don't understand if it can be also used as looper, or if it can just record the effect over the processed sound

[@lwispe]

As great as the Kaossilator app is on iOS there's just something cooler about actual physical devices, and even though I already have the original Kaoss and Mini-KP, I can't help but want to try these out ASAP :) I did appreciate the 5 record banks in the app, and the fact that you could change the sound after laying down a motion. The only thing I can't seem to find an answer for though is the loop length on the KO2. On the original it's 8 beats or 16 with a little cheat, and on iOS it's all t

[@yuri_s_]

Stop making all these awesome products. I can't afford them all.

[@nikpharesmusic5768]

Haha hey bro what's up? Yeah I'm picking one up because I sold my kp3 and only have a small jam station to complete soon.

[@iamYork_]

hahaha I agree!!!

[@fakku6356]

I would like to know if you can share which you like the most I bought not the yellow but the black and I'm watching your video and it seems to me that the yellow unit has more effects

[@SuperMegaWoofer3000]

What is the song he play at 1:00?

[@edgarnk3112]

Hey i have the kaossilator 2S, and its not like those ones,,, i would want to record on each side as the yellow one.. heelp

[@djkickflip_amsterdam]

one question i just cannot find an answer to.... is it possible to pitchbend/tempo-change to dj-mix? if so... i will order 2 kp2's now!

[@DontMilkThatCow]

Ok, so I am looking to buy one of these to mount on my guitar. Would i want to get the mini Kp 2?

[@magpieking]

How much are these? I really wanted to get a Kaossilator to go with my kp3, but if these are cheaper then I might get one of these for now.

[@raptorekpl]

Yeap. They pretty much nailed it. I like the small things. Like showing what note you're hitting and visualising on the screen scale/key signature you've chosen (really awsome). Just one question. Can you upload a prepared drum loop to Kaossilator's MicroSD and jam on top of it or the playback is restricted just for Kaosspad? Still no MIDI (eh...) but damn it looks fun to jam with anyway. (I know it has already been said but... Holy fuck. PS-3300 in the background...)

[@KevinCrosbySeattle]

Can you Undo your last commands?

[@DjNemes1s]

Looks awesome! Just wondering though - The Korg Mini-KP had an issue of drastically lowering your output volume. Has this been fixed on the Mini KP 2?

[@tnicol]

I ordered one today and will be using it primarily with my old Kaossilator and my guitar. However, I'm curious - I see there are some pre-loaded patterns and beats. Does anyone know how many choices there are, just in case you want to use it stand-alone?

[@OUWATZAHLE08]

1 question the yellow kaoss does it not have the mp3 player ?

[@spellerlittlewing]

Can these be used as midi controller

[@djviaota]

Kaoss Pad 2 support 32 o 64 Gb on Micro sd?

[@flacocoque5712]

Can it be connected to a Apple Mac?

[@pyrox2518]

and second is it possible for the ossilator to load in differen synth sounds and drumloop?

[@avatai]

gotta love the ps3300 in the background. "Oh, it's just one of the rarest synths on earth, no biggie." - probably what anyone in that studio says about it

[@magpieking]

I have that already. I really want to find a good second hand Kaoss pad pro

[@seneferu5]

Does the KO2 have authentic harmonica sounds?

[@troidl90]

does the new mini kp have any effects the kp3 doesnt have!? if so. im gonna be sad

[@salikali2]

when does this come out

[@djviaota]

The manual says that it supports micro sd up to 16 gigabytes. Are you sure that more than that capacity does not work? Has anyone tried it? Thanks

[@seneferu5]

Thank you for your reply. I will think about it when it comes to recording it with a poem I have eritten. Thanks again.

[@pyrox2518]

is the kaospad able to play off playlists aswel?

[@pyro1324]

Both are out here in Sweden...

[@blacksouledpope6029]

How does the kaoss 2 work with a guitar? I really want to add this to my guitar of it works well

[@lames_billwanks]

Will the kaossilator 2 work in place of my kaoss pad in my ibanez kaoss guitar?

[@eduardoariasvilla9213]

Fantastic gadgets!

[@magpieking]

Are they any good?

[@carinoe1]

Which one is which?

[@olekolecki6313]

Is if I load the loop on the SD card in the Mini Kaoss Pad 2 is the playback will be looped automatically? Is it possible to play on it looped loops? Is it possible to change the tempo in bpm?

[@gotzzimmermann2000]

How much price of this thing

[@Synthematix]

could i use this as an fx send into my mixer, i want to use the mic fx built into the red one

[@lwispe]

Ah, didn't realize I broke KZbin's character limit. I just finished by saying the iOS version goes all the way up to 64 beats for each loop. Does the KO2 do 16 beats for each bank then? BTW nice demo James!

[@thewatcher1691]

can you save fx settings, on the kp2 with bpm's? I would need instant recall of fx settings, with bmp's during a live setting. thanks

[@enriquejose17]

Say I wanted to record some of these sounds on a DAW like Logic, could I?

[@chinmeysway]

[@djd-cide7475]

So: wich of the two, would YOU say is best used or most versatile for acomplimenting my dj-ing? I'm puzzled between the two, i like 'm both, but for now can only afford 1, they are getting cheaper each year though..... most desired use: i need to keep a certain track going instrumentally or use lyrics from another song. Maybe even create some thing new myself from combining several things of something old. Or better go for the bigger choice of taking it all in the big pad?

[@Agatonga]

MINI KP2. A unit dedicated to Effects is most practical and would get the most use. The pad synthesizer (Kaossilator 2) takes too much time to use on the fly for us DJ's. TAP TEMPO... FIND THE KEY... CHOOSE A SOUND... ....but i have both. so when you have time...get the KO2.

[@djd-cide7475]

Aga Villagomeza Thanks, you for your reply. I will get the KO2 then....

[@Agatonga]

Dj D-Cide I was actually saying that the MINI KP2 is a better buy as of now.

[@alvar0pere7]

Any "toy" is a real instrument in the hands of a musician. Don't speak for us all.

[@gelatinous6915]

That little kaoss pad loses no functionality from the gigantic one.

[@craggmire]

Lol okay “alvaro’’

[@cosmic_skelly]

Which one would you recommend for beat boxing on the go? I have a korg kp3+ that I have set up in my room. Which one of these would most be like that?

[@pyrox2518]

first product in YEARS what made me this happy, i got a ghettoblaster and i know whats gonna happen this summer:D

[@brentgeemn]

Korg, what power supply do u use to power these little guys? batteries are cool, but they only last 5 hours at most pending on usage. Can u use the KA193 power supply 4.5v DC 500ma. The manual doesn't give the Mili-amp rating,

[@Jyd7734]

I use a Nintendo DS power supply for mine. I think it's 5v. Yellow barrel tip.

[@Synthematix]

with 2 mini kaos pad 2's you can mix music into a mixer theyre bloody awesome.

[@RadekPilich]

is it possible to use it as a (guitar) looper? I would like to use it with Yamaha Reface to record musical ideas.

[@Synthematix]

@@RadekPilich I think you can actually, as it records loops and you can add fx to them.

[@gixerags750]

do you mean have a kp2 on each turntable?

[@Synthematix]

@@gixerags750 you can use 2 mini kp's on their own without any turntables as a portable mixing setup with a mixer, as they have built in music playback support with pitch control (not terrible timestretching but proper speed control of wav and mp3) just load them both up with music on 2 SD cards and youre good to go, the line out quality is top notch too so they sound great.

[@gixerags750]

@@Synthematix i have the Kaossilator mini 2s , mini kp2s is next, Love the fact that some effects sync to BPM of the audio input. Peace..

[@SELIMNIVEK]

On 5:00, think of that song" when the fire starts to burn, right !"

[@Centurion3060]

effects can be inserted!

[@krossdude35]

kaossilator 2 (yellow) is out, mini k.p 2 (red) isnt

[@clonboymusic]

nice gadgets the old cube shaped ones had more visual style ;-) anyway nice lil toys.

[@TMAJGATB]

I have a (maybe dumb) question: If I connect the Kaoss Pad Mini with my 3DS and want to record a song from the "KORG M01D" as a mp3 on the micro SD, is this possible?

[@Agatonga]

It isnt a sampler...the KO2 can record, but only for a few bars...not a song.

[@beatchef]

Sebastian Schlicht Aga Villagomeza 06:19 Linear record mode, you could have the 3DS as an input and just record it as long as you want.

[@AveMcree]

having sampling capabilities = sampler

[@hpl138]

It has a harmonica, but obviously it sounds pretty synthy.

[@jancedricybanez5535]

Awesome!

[@KevinCrosbySeattle]

So with money burning a hole in my pocket I set out to see if the music community has met my needs yet; specifically, I want to tap out rhythms at my computer workstation with my thumbs, and record it for dance tracks. First on my agenda is this electronic paint that would let me put down a number of touch sensitive pads in front of my keyboard along the soft edge of the desk perfect for thumb tapping. Asking that I was pointed to your ultimate fidget spinners, before being turned on by you to Specdrums, which I ordered the Limited Edition in a green I hope they choose from my palette, the old Milles Bornes car racing card game. And my first ever smartphone to play Specdrums and other music apps will ship in just a few days.

[@koskey06]

Why not both in 1!! In 2022 there is NO excuse not to!

[@exionem]

So the million dollar question... Which will give me more hours of fun ?

[@zentura88]

It would be cool if these could output MIDI though... I mean it's cool but a little limited in that respect.

[@hpl138]

KO2 is about $160 usd.

[@everendinghappiness]

Shut Up and Take My Money!

[@synapticflow]

Shut up and don't take my money! Be warned! The Korg Mini-KP had the bad flaw of drastically lowering your output volume. If Korg (who ignored complaints) hasn't fixed this issue for the Mini-KP 2, there is NO REASON to buy it.
