Kaossilator – Pocket Synthesizer

kaossilator

And I thought a stylophone is call – available now in the US! As seen on Gizmodo.

The moment we ran our fingers over the touchpad of the Kaossilator and heard the otherworldly sounds of the future we were hooked. This pocket sized music synthesizer is like nothing we’ve seen before. Rather than using keys or buttons to play musical notes, the Kaossilator features a revolutionary touchpad design.

Move your finger from left to right to change the pitch of the note, and up and down to change the sound. But musical sounds are only the beginning, the Kaossilator can also be used like a drum kit with dozens of built in beats and drum sounds. Plus you get some amazing sound effects from laser blasts to Pac Man. You can put everything to good use with the built-in loop recording feature which lets you layer virtually unlimited tracks to create complex songs combining lead instruments, drum beats and sound effects together.

Ever saw the Tenori-on by Yamaha? I guess that Kaossilator is a reaction on Tenori-on. Saying that, can’t wait to try this thing out.

There are some even more impressive videos on youtube showing this thing in action, especially the ones that use it paired up with a korg kp3.

@Eduardo Ever saw the monome 40h? I guess the Tenori-on is a ripoff. The Kaossilator is a great idea though, and its jumped right to the top of my list of music gadgets to buy.

Now someone needs to write a similar synth for laptop touchpads or the iPhone :P

Got one, use it, love it. It is addictive, sort of a musical Etch-A-Sketch.
