To be honest, I don’t know much about creating music from scratch. But I saw this nifty little gadget and thought about sharing it with you guys. So what is the Korg Kaossilator? Well, it is an exciting piece of kit to start with, but its main uses are to create music on the move.

The Korg Kaossilator, or to give it it’s full title, the Korg KAOSS KAOSSILATOR Dynamic Phrase Synthesizer, allows you to create music by simply tapping or sliding your finger across the Korg Kaossilator’s built in touch pad.

From what I have read anyone from a 5 year old to an 80 year old can use this gadget to create some fantastic music, and that’s a pretty big statement. We’ll have to wait and see about that won’t we. But, it does seem that the Korg Kaossilator is highly addictive. Once you start playing with it you’ll have trouble putting it down and doing anything else.

The Korg Kaossilator is battery operated which makes it even more desirable to people who really, really feel they need to be away from the home or studio to create their masterpiece. For those who don’t want to be out and about, it can also be plugged into a mains socket. It also has 2 phono outputs on the back so that you can hook it up to your amplifier or HiFi. Also included is a headphones socket, which is great for your neighbours.

The Korg Kaossilator is definitely a gadget to keep your eye on because there is a big buzz about it in the music industry at the moment. At a price that’s just shy of £140 you could be the next superstar DJ making it big.
