Trying Korg Kaossilator App for the First Time!

Trying Korg Kaossilator App for the First Time!
Today I've got the Korg Kaossilator App in front of me for the very first time! Even though I picked this app up in March of 2020, I hadn't opened it til this video. I figured it'd be fun to document my experience with this strange little sequencer/groovebox app. It wound up being a pretty fun time, enjoy the video!

Yo it’s such fun app. I downloaded it free during the pandemic special too! I sampled some synth sounds from it straight into my PO-33 and it sounded great.

[@FreeBeat]

That's a perfect sample source for the 33! Thanks for watching :)

[@scpk2246]

hi guys, can you please share the free version - please please

[@philosophy4242]

Please could you upload a beat u made with your po33 and this app

[@ghanezu]

You can Live rec solo's,change of scales,export to user and import back,rec slow down bpm and export to user;rec variations on lenght etc.Very capable app.

[@3DJapan]

It works just as well as the physical version as far as I can tell. I like to save our each track individually and use them in Zenbeats to mix into songs with other music.

[@MrGeoffashley]

I picked up most of the Korg 2 years ago on a Black Friday sale. iKaossilator is super fun and functional!! I also enjoy Gadget, Module, iDS-10, and Oddyssei

[@FreeBeat]

Do you like the Korg DS software? I've been back and forth on it nonstop for a while haha

[@MrGeoffashley]

Free Beat the iDS is fun..but I got way into Gadget..and I forgot to mention I also have Electribe Wave. That one is super fun!! As for the Kaossilator, there’s a really cool kinda clip launching feature. Each of the 5 “tracks” can be swapped out with other in that menu next to the settings icon. Not sure if anyone else yet mentioned that in the comments

[@mgrollins]

How funny! I think I might have picked it up on your advice, or perhaps as a bennie for the NTS-1. This is a really fun app! Hand it to a kid, and it's a blast.

[@FreeBeat]

I didn't even think about that aspect of it, this is a great way for someone with no musical experience to get started!

[@jthorpe4droid]

I got this app a few years ago for my daughter to play on. I like it too the only problem I get is it still random crashes just as you are getting your grove on. But still it's fun.

[@FreeBeat]

Oh dang I haven't had any crashes yet, fingers crossed!

[@jasonwavz3378]

Looks super fun!

[@FreeBeat]

It really is!

[@patrickbodine1300]

I have it on a 10" tablet. My go to for making "music". Fun stuff!

[@FreeBeat]

Awesome!

[@farbklangmaske]

This thing can be a source of inspiration. Got me the app when it was free some months ago.

[@FreeBeat]

I've been playing with it a lot since making the video, something about it just keeps me coming back haha

[@jthorpe4droid]

The other app I like is koala sampler, it's awesome but could do with a better sequencer.

[@FreeBeat]

I've heard that's a lot of fun, I'll have to check it out!

[@spellerlittlewing]

Yes I have this my favorite app

[@FreeBeat]

Awesome, do you have any tips for a newbie like me?

[@wiggesobk]

Thats cool. I have the hardware mini Kaossilator. I often use it for some special effects in my Beats.

[@FreeBeat]

You use yours to great effect my friend!

[@wiggesobk]

@@FreeBeat thank you so much! 🙏

[@jasonwavz3378]

Have you thought about doing a Model:cycles and NTS-1 video? I think it would be killer mix.

[@FreeBeat]

Don't worry, it's on the list :)

[@fernalicious]

Such a great way to get music in more hands, I use mine all the time. You missed the live record feature.

[@FreeBeat]

Definitely! I'll have to revisit the app soon :)

[@jeffreyheffner908]

I use this app with my Casio sk-2 for easier control over the sounds.

[@FreeBeat]

Nice combo!

[@scottfarrell1906]

Fantastic to see, there is a lot of very powerful apps on iOS start doing some IPad apps.

[@FreeBeat]

They're definitely are, and I plan to try out some of them. I'm not a big fan of using touch screens for music though haha. Thanks for watching!

[@Sadiquecat]

Ohh, what's that outro track ? 9:35 Is it my fighbrain which made me forget that it's an already released track or is it yet to come ? Been a lot into dub these last days ^^ I had the Kaossilator app, I wanted to add some spacy acidy what ever sound in some live perforamance sets, using it kind of like a synth but I didn't get any sound I liked from it like I heard from a guy using the khaos pad which he used very well :) So I just uninstalled it lol

[@FreeBeat]

Haha the track is "Mystery Hour" from the OP-Z album! I want to get my hands on an actual kaossilator at some point, they look super fun!

[@likedatitbe]

Does this app give you access to a free copy of Ableton live lite? Heard it was possible, at least on the iphone version. Supposedly, there's an option within this app that grants you access to a free copy of Ableton live, or at least on iphone, it supposedly does.

[@FreeBeat]

This version does not, I was unaware that there were other versions that did. That's pretty cool.

[@mgrollins]

You should try some of the preloaded loops!

[@FreeBeat]

I definitely will!

[@CatFish107]

sad I missed this when it was free. actually considering it for CDN$21. That's probably the GAS speaking to me. Just a few weeks ago I discovered an unused copy of Korg's DS-10 software kicking around the closet. I've been making good use of the kaoss pads on my 3ds touch screen. Maybe I should content myself with that and beepbox.

[@FreeBeat]

Yeah I'm not sure if it's worth more than 10 US dollars. However that's a great find on the cord software. I've been meaning to get my hands on those "games" for a while now!

[@luckyllou7325]

17,99 € in the Moment. (Jan. 10.21) Thats to much I think! Anyway thanx for your efforts.

[@FreeBeat]

Ouch, that's definitely a bit steep I think. Hopefully there will be a sale soon!

[@SaEvSampleEverything]

Next check the Koala Sampler app!

[@FreeBeat]

It's on my to-do list!
