Looking back, my first attempts are pathetic. See instead my video "Dark Taxi". My first day with the Kaossilator: an original improvisation called "Pentatonic Dreams". A pentatonic scale contains only 5 notes. Ancient people only discovered a few note relationships from the ratios of lengths of strings on their instruments, so a Major Pentatonic scale in C consists only of the notes C, D, E, G and A. ---------- The Kaossilator 2, the upgrade of the handheld Kaossilator, is coming soon in 2012! ---------- Details: 132 bpm, C Major Pentatonic (MaP) scale, I stored a rising loop with L.09 (Square Wave Lead) modulated by the G.12 Gate Arpeggiator beat pattern, and overdubbed a falling loop as well, then improvised with L.00 (Ambient Lead) looking for compatible scales like A#, G and D#. For more information on the Korg Kaossilator go to korg.com Click on the Kaossilator parts and buttons there to get explanations. But the Kaossilator Pro (3 lbs and about double the price) is REALLY something! HALL OF FAME: Okay, I am a tiny worm, new with a Kaossilator, not a professional musician. Please have a look at a few REALLY GOOD players: www.youtube.com (modified Kaossilator so he can hit the right notes, in the Loop Length 16 mode) www.youtube.com (professional soundtrack musician Tim Rideout) www.youtube.com (Gary Kibler: a tune from The Yellow Album) www.youtube.com (Holy cow! An Arabic or Oriental jam with the Kaossilator)
