The Korg Kaossilator 2 is the latest tech toy from Korg presented at NAMM 2012 and is a fascinating tiny, yet powerful synthesizer device with over 150 sounds. The palm-sized synthesizer has a touchpad, which means it has a touch slider, and microSD data slot for saving your recorded beats. There is a built-in speaker and microphone, and boasts dual look recording banks for creating complex loops. The 150 sound library includes synth leads, basses, acoustic instruments, chord sounds, drum kits and rhythm patterns, according to HighSnobiety.com.
For anyone who isn't technologically-inclined, although it seems complex, the official introduction video released by Korg makes it look pretty simple. Additionally, the sleek yellow and black design of the Korg Kaossilator 2 even gives it the look of a smartphone, making it super portable.
